Overview:

On 12 July, Guderian's Panzergruppe 2 had two bridgeheads across the Dnieper; one east of Kopys and Shklov and the Bykhov bridgehead south of Mogilev. Mogilev's defenses had been under construction since late June, and were by now deep and extensive, with minefields, anti-tank ditches, trenches and log bunkers — all reminiscent of World War I. The XXIV Armeekorps was to attack out of the bridgehead to the north, and destroy the enemy southeast of Mogilev and open the Dnieper crossing, but its 4. Panzer-Division was quickly forced on the defensive.
Attacker: Russian (Elements of the 61st Rifle Corps)
Defender: German (Elements of I. Abteilung, Panzer-Regiment 36, 4. Panzer-Division and II, Abteilung, FlaK-Regiment 11)

2023-12-27(A) Richard Jenulis vs Will Fleming Russian winMy 88th scenario of the year. A very challenging scenario.
2023-10-04(D) Peter Palmer vs Steve Lampon Russian win[Imported from ROAR]
2021-03-09(A) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger Russian winGreat scenario, very exciting game. The German defence concentrated on the right (Eastern) side, so the Russians set up and came in mostly from the far western edge. Early German luck knocked out an armoured car and killed a gun crew on turn 1, and their tanks (but not infantry) quickly switched over to their left flank and took up defensive positions. The combined 8FP of the German tanks' MGs made them formidable opponents even without infantry support, and the Russians took heavy casualties as they pressed forward. Eventually though the Russian infantry, supported by two surviving armoured cars, was able to attack the German tanks from all sides, eventually overwhelming them with both DCs finding success, and a lucky CC result getting the PzkwIV.. The Germans conceded at the start of their turn 6; with just two tanks remaining and seven Russian squads adjacent to the road it was impossible for them to force the Russians back. Both of us had great fun though.
2020-12-08(D) X von Marwitz vs Lars-Peder Jensen German winPlayed the defending Germans in this one. My setup restricted some options for the Russians, who concentrated in the Grainfield. Nothing really went his way and he had the worst of luck. With 2 Armored Trucks destroyed and the MA of the other two malfed in the DFPh of German Turn 1 already, he had seen enough and conceded. A more precise AAR and evaluation can be found under the following link in GameSquad forum.

2018-02-07(D) Andy Beaton vs Spencer Armstrong Russian winFun, but I'd never play it for any kind of stakes. Both sides are too fragile and too easily undone by a small number of bad rolls. Losing 2 of my tank-fighting tanks to malfed MA's put me in a position of needing to take desperate measures to clear away the Russian AC's, otherwise the Russian infantry couldn't be attacked. Of course it went bad.
