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.

2022-04-12(D) Alberto González Ramírez vs Alberto German winGerman mortars were very important for the victory.
2022-04-02(A) Tom Kearney vs Mika Harviala Russian winI don’t recall taking a beating this bad in the 36 years I’ve playing ASL. Mika played a great game and I played horribly.
2022-03-25(A) nathan wegener vs James Treu German winSwept north edge like a blizzard. Russian dice were as cold as the snow.
2022-01-10(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winGermans made a run along the north edge and managed to slip past a single 4-4-7 with an LMG. The Russian reinforcements came in on top of my escaping Luftwaffe boys. I managed to break 2 squads and then one last squad entered into CC with my pinned 9-1 and got stuck in Melee when they just wounded the 9-1. My boys made a final run for the exit and got 14 off for the win.
2022-01-10(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
2021-10-08(D) Enrico Saletti vs Alessandro Poluzzi German winFinally FtF, but another setup mistake (too forward... should have set up much nearer the German exit zone). Snow "light dust" kept voiding residuals. And, last but not least, more mistakes entering reinforcements. I would play this again, keeping the Russian side, but trying a different defence.
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.
2020-10-19(D) Macari Samuel vs O Ramaille Russian win
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.
2020-03-27(D) David Garvin vs Chuck Tewksbury German winRound 1 of the virtual Nor'Easter, COVID-19 Edition.
2020-03-20(A) Teddy Horan vs Russian Russian win
2020-02-25(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna Russian winGermans got the balance, but in the end, the Russians won in spite of a late gust to help his movement.
