Overview:

After heavy fighting, Infanterie-Division 132 took the strategic town of Mekensievy-Gory, north of Sevastopol. Gefreiter Bidermann’s PaK platoon, reduced to only two guns, set up near the railway station. On the morning of 30 December, red flares sizzled skyward – the signal that a Soviet attack was imminent.

2022-11-18(D) Simon Staniforth vs Mike Davies German winAn enjoyable medium / large scenario with both sides taking the AFV reinforcement groups. By SSR the Russian tanks have to move first and in T2 as they threatened the Eastern factory I was able to spring an ATG ambush. It took plenty of APCR shots but the dice gods were kind and much ROF later, as well as the ART piece joining in, 4 of the Russian tanks were KO. Undeterred the Russians took the central factory and pressed the Western victory buildings which had only a skeleton / dummy defence pending the reinforcements. Fast forward to the final turn it’s in the balance and the up to now reliable T-28 finally fail a mechanical thus denying the Russians some much needed firepower to contest the last building. The Germans hang on for a win. An enjoyable game, would happily play again as either side
2021-12-18(A) fabrizio da pra vs Mario Aceto German win
2021-11-09(D) Rob MacGinley vs James Short German winRussians hit a hard wall of defensive fire that kept them at bay and they ran out of time to take all the VCs they needed
2020-12-22(D) Gordon Jupp vs Andy Bagley German winHard fought game but the German sniper was deadly, taking out both the Commissar and the 9-2 leaders, which made life difficult. I took the STUG's but Andy didn't the KV's, so only 3 buildings required but his attack was met by a hardened German defence on Board 71 and it wasn't to be. (Balance for Russians taken - and pretty much required we think).
2020-12-22(A) Andy Bagley vs Gordon Jupp German winGermans took the AFVs and I didn't, so only needed three buildings, but still a tough one for the Russians. I took the obvious approach through the woods but found it well defended (what i guessed were dummies weren't!). I eventually took that first building, but it was costly - particularly from his sniper - and his AT guns were also well placed, accounting for two of my tanks. I would might have secured a second building but not the third as my desperate charge towards the I9 factory failed.
