Overview:

The Soviet encirclement of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad in mid-November posed a great risk to the entire southern half of the German front. Hitler refused evacuation of the pocket and ordered Gen. Manstein to organize a relief expedition. The newly arrived 8.Luftwaffenfelddivision were among the miscellaneous troops gathered and they disembarked at the city of Morozovsk on 25 November and moved eastward across the snow-swept steppes. They moved through the town of Nizhe Chirskaya, expecting to find retreating German troops of the Sixth Army. Instead men of the Luftwaffe ran headlong into the hastily constructed defensive positions of the Soviet pincers that had snapped shut around the German Sixth Army.

2020-10-19(A) O Ramaille vs Macari Samuel Russian winThe first turns were a real cakewalk for the Germans who progressed quite unmolested through the blowing snow. The arrival of a strong Russian reinforcements forced the Germans to change their plans and cross open fields under Russian fire. Several deadly shots stopped the German progress. On the last turn, there was still several opportunities to exit the required EVPs for the Germans. But neither the snow nor the accurate Russian shots helped. A KIA, a casualty MC and a wounded leader wiped out their dream of victory. Only 7 EVPs out of 9 needed made it.

2020-07-22(D) Pascal Boileau vs Jean-Carlo Debolle Russian winA short scenario with many SSR. The issue of the game was decided by the IFT DR of the Russian fire lane in the last turn. I was pretty lucky on this one.
