Overview:

The Fuhrer was dead and the Soviet juggernaut was fast closing in on the remnants of the 1st SS Panzer Division (Leibstandarte). Now, even these, the most fanatical German troops knew the war was over. None of them wanted to be the last to die, or even worse, become a prisoner of the Russians. On 2 May, Untersturmfuhrer Warnecke led a detachment of former Tiger tank crews from SS-Panzer Abteilung 591 to the Nibelungen Work to draw two new Jagdtigers and bring them back to the division headquarters. From there, they road-marched to Waidhofen where they formed a kampfgruppe with ten newly delivered Panzer IVs. Their mission was to delay the lead elements of the Russian 20th Guards Rifle Corps while the rest of Leibstandarte retreated to the west, taking the last open corridor to surrender to the American army. One Jagdtiger was immobilized and had to be destroyed by its crew before the fight even started, leaving the last Jagdtiger to wait in ambush with the Panzer IVs. Soon, Russian tanks came into view. . .

2023-06-17(A) Mark Thompson vs Carl Nogueira (Germans) German (SS) winThe Russians approached both flanks of the German concentrated defense centered in the last cross-roads of the victory road segment relatively unscathed, removed the .50/.30 cals from the M3A1 Scout Car (more later), and teased out the JadgTiger and one Mark IV on the German's left. In the ensuing dance of death, two T-34/85s were brewed-up by PFs, but took out one Mark IV and Shocked the Jadgtiger, prompting its demise in Turn 4 CC by swarming infantry. Three more T-34/85s fell by PFs while attempting to push the Germans off the cross-roads. In the final turn, the Russians had their last T-34/85 in the victory conditions hexes, but it could not hit the remaining Mark IV in F14, and the Russian infantry were in position to undertake CC with all German squads in/adjacent to the road, but could not reach the Mark IV due to shifting AFV fires that screened the German withdrawal and doubled the Russian's MFs. In retrospect, the Russian flank move on the German right went too wide - a more direct approach would have saved time and allowed more concentrated fire (especially with the .50 which is too many PP to move far). DM attempts against the JagdTiger may also have been more fruitful, and the T-34/85s needed to hold back out PF range (1945!) until the infantry cleared their counterparts. Remembering that the Russians have 2 - count them 2 - M3A1 Scout Cars may also have helped..... Duh.
