Overview:

Following the disastrous loss of Stalingrad, German High Command faced another threat in northern Russia. After Russian breakthroughs at several points on the Don River, the Germans were in danger of losing three Heeresgruppes – in total, more men then they had lost at Stalingrad. In response, on March 6, Manstein’s Panzer Armee 4, including crack formations such as SS-Panzerkorps 3 and Infanterie-Division “Grossdeutschland” launched a counteroffensive, which would later be known as the Third Battle for Kharkov.
Attacker: German (Panzer-Regiment / Tiger-Kompanie / Aufklärungs-Abteilung "Grossdeutschland")
Defender: Russian (305th Rifle Division, 3rd Tank Corps)

2025-01-25(D) Will Willow vs Randy Shurtz German win
2024-05-31(A) Mark Thompson vs Erik Grande (Russian)A German winThe German tanks moved aggressively to the Russian right flank in Turn 1, peppering likely hide-outs for Russian Gun with AFPH MG and MA shots. The Ht-borne infantry followed suit on Turn 2 after the German tanks VBM'd the Russians main positions (including the stumbled-upon Gun in 70L6 which improbably missed a same hex shot) and things unraveled very quickly for the Russians thereafter, who conceded in Turn 3. Everything went right for the Germans, and the Russians - who had a good set-up - were dogged by poor DRs (including failed PAATCs), but this one seems hard on the Russians absent a strong intervention of fate. The Russian 76Ls are not a very compelling weapon against the German tank force without more side-shot opportunities. Allowing some Russian set-up on Board 69 and/or adding the T-34 as HIP might make this more interesting.
2024-03-26(A) Rob MacGinley vs Stefan Fiedler Russian winI did mainly a left flank atatck and up the middle - my unit that reached out were cut to pieces and I reached the CVP cap quick and lost teh game halfway
2023-12-29(D) Richard Jenulis vs Tycho Granville Russian winClose game. Russians won on last German player turn by pushing the Germans over the CVP.
