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.

2020-11-14(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck German winVery well performed assault by the germans. Gun failed to do any good. HMG did a good job in the beginning but that wasn´t enough t stop the nazi horde. The germans managed to secure the VLs before the russian reinforcements came and with the good leadership, plethora of MGs the russians failed to get a HW going by missing out on one squad which took the force out of the final assault. Only one conscript squad managed to get close enough to enter into CC and victory was lost anyway since the sneaky germans also had stuffed a squad in the cellar.
2020-11-13(D) Stephen Solomon vs Chris Graff Russian winChalk this win up to the vagaries of ASL. A placed DC explodes with no n/e. Russian defenders in both OBJ hexes go down quickly due to seriously low DR. Sgt. Esser zerks in Turn 2 and eliminates my Russian 9-1 w/ 458/HMG. Game looks like an easy German win by Turn 2. With no other option, Russian reinforcements join up with the two remaining good order units in a HW, survive withering fire in OG, and take back the eastern bldg. They hold on for the win.
2020-06-12(A) Ken Rutkowski vs Bill T Russian win
2019-08-02(A) Jeff B vs John Malaska German winThe 9-1 rolled a "1" at game start but no Russian was in LOS. He ended up succumbing to the sniper on Turn 2 anyway. Germans setup a kill stack who's job was to pound three hexes into submission. They eliminated a squad and MMG on Turn 1, while another squad went down via CC. Two more Russian squads were dealt with on Turn 2 as the Germans made it into both VC hexes. Losses were fairly even from there on out. The commissar, gun, and HMG were tough to deal with across the way, but eventually they were rounded up and things were well in hand. The Russian mad dash at game end saw a CX commissar and crew make it to one of the VC buildings, but the guarding German squad simply broke and routed upstairs preserving the victory.
2019-07-13(D) Tom Abromaitis vs Chris Edwards German winGood scenario. Came down to the very last CC roll...
