Overview:

The Russian Army had been bordering the Vistula on its length, holding three bridgeheads on the German side. On the 12th of January, Marshal Koniev unleashed his first Ukrainian Front and cleared the German lines of defense. At mid-day, the first and second lines were breached and Koniev had seized his main axis of penetration. He immediately ordered the introduction of his tank units to exploit the gap in the German lines. The Germans tried a desperate action and immediately counterattacked the lead Soviet units.

2022-11-17(A) O Ramaille vs Jeannot Russian winRussian victory with the last CC DR. Despite the loss of a JS-2, the Russians began the game quite well by destroying a lot of German tanks (Sturm and Marder). But the German Elefants showed that they too knew how to aim and little by little it was the Russians who found themselves in difficulty. In the last turn, the pressure was on the Russian side. They still have to exit at least 3 tanks or 2 by destroying a tenth panzer. Of the 4 Russian tanks still able to move, one is destroyed and the other immobilized by changing gear (ESB failed) and only got out by avoiding the shells and FP attempts. Eventually, the bravery of a Russian squad decided the fate of the battle, by climbing onto the back of an Elefant and finish off the monster.
