Overview:

The German 7th Infantry Division was defending in the area of Karniewo with Haputmann Fritz Schock's 507th Schwere Panzer Abteilung in support, when elements of the Soviet 48th Army struck. Leading the attack was the 29th Guards Tank Regiment. At its spearhead was Lt. Ivan Khitsenko, commanding an IS-2 tank. Through mist and across snow covered ground, Khitsenko advanced to within 100 meters of the Germans, at which time a furious tank gun duel erupted with a company of Tiger I tanks. Khitsenko rammed one enemy tank and managed to knock out at least two Tigers tanks with deadly accurate fire from his 122mm gun. The remaining tank commanders fired a volley of main gun fire that set the offending Stalin tank ablaze, incinerating Khitsenko and his entire crew in the process. For his leadership in this action. Khitsenko was posthumously awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union medal on 29 June 1945.

2018-12-05	(A) X von Marwitz	vs	Gerrit Gericke	Russian win	This time I played this as the Russians. A quick and dirty action which was over at the start of German Turn 2 as due to his setup I could pick off 3 Tigers in the first Russian PFPh. Full AAR to be found under this link: http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/index.php?threads/rpt105-flaming-star-aar.149685/
2018-07-11	(A) Jeff B	vs	Elmo Menon	Russian win	All Tigers were eliminated by the end of Turn 2. Without them there is absolutely no way the Germans can stand up to the Russians. Even with them the Germans have no answer for the heavily armored Russian tanks. The best bet is probably for the Germans to setup all tanks in buildings and just sit there concealed as long as possible. At best this makes for an extremely boring defensive game. At worst this one is a complete walkover.
2018-06-29	(D) X von Marwitz	vs	Michael Koch	Russian win	1945 East Front action with Tigers on the German side and IS-2's on the Russian side. I had the Germans in this one and found it diffcult to come up with a good defence for the situation. My defence may have been sound, alas I overlooked one crucial location for a Russian tank from which he could unhinge my armored defence. To stand up with Tigers to IS-2's is audacious, but without Tiger support, the German infantry is in trouble. I did not contrieve to find a satisfactory solution for the problem, so my opponent won in a pretty straightforward way with his Russians.
2017-10-02	(A) Michael Rodgers	vs	Rob Banozic	Russian win	German player started all Tigers in wooden buildings. Tigers had trouble vs IS-2 armour. Russians hid from Tigers on turn 1. After three turns, four Tigers were gone and one IS-2 was gone. German conceded soon after.
2017-04-08	(D) Tom Yetter	vs	Mark Harms	In progress	The initial setup for the Germans had all Tigers in concealment terrain to preclude any early easy shots at them. Once the Russians had committed their armor the Tigers moved forward to engage them along with some supporting infantry. Using a short halt fire approach I was able to take out 3x IS-2s in fairly short order and immobilize another at a cost of a Tiger down & another immobilized. The infantry was able to take on the immobilized Stalin and knock off another. When the last IS-2 ran afoul of his ammo limitations it became fairly easy to take him ion and knock him out by a combined arms effort. In my last turn the Germans just roamed around mopping up any remaining infantry. A fun and challenging scenario.
