Overview:
On 24 October, Panzer Division 14 reached its objective of “Bread Factory #2” just south of the Barrikady. The next day the German assaults against the buildings continued but were soon checked by fierce defensive fire of the Soviet 138th Rifle Division. Sgt. Esser, leading remnants of Motorcycle Battalion 64, crouched in the ruins opposite the squat buildings of the Bread Factory. Across the street lay his company commander -- dead. Behind him sprawled the motionless body of the platoon commander -- also dead. By his side a section leader groaned deliriously, a bullet through his head. Suddenly, Esser went berserk. Leaping to his feet, he screamed "Forward!" and charged across the deadly street, his twelve remaining men close at his heels.Attacker: German (Kradschützen-Batailion 64 and Panzergrenadier-Regiment 103 with Panzer-Division 14)
Defender: Russian (768th Rifle Regiment with ad hoc reinforcements 62nd Army)

2023-05-26 | (D) Pascal Boileau | vs | Serge Doba | Russian win | The Russians held the factory despite some losses. The German troops tried to attack from the North but their progression was too slow. The 9-1 turned berserk with 1 MMC on turn 3 and both finally died in CC. With no GO German units left in the South keeping at bay the Russian reinforcements, the game ended at turn 5. | |

2021-09-25 | (A) Peter Catchpole | vs | Paul Legg | German win (VASL Log) | At the start of turn 2 the Germans seemed further away from the victory buildings than at the start. However by the end of Turn 4 both victory buildings were under German control and the Russians were unable to take them back. The "crazy" 9-1 leader went berserk on Turn 3 and took two squads with him. Fortunately Paul read the scenario special rules (SSR) carefully as I had initially thought that they would all Battle Harden as there were no known enemy units in their LOS - the SSR make it clear that if there are no known enemy units in LOS then they should instead charge for the nearest Russian occupied location that is not in LOS. The berserk stack suffered a 2KIA result (which killed the leader and one squad, and "half squadded" the second), however the surviving berserk half squad went on an impressive rampage killing 2 squads and a 9-1 leader (through failure to rout) before succumbing. Note also that the railroads are embanked (see O2.1) I had initially thought they were ground level. However the logfile (attached) revealed the secret to German success ... from turn 3 onwards the rolling average IFT DR for the Russians was just over 8 and for the Germans it was just under 7. So to win just make sure you roll low |
