Overview:

In mid-April 1945, the time had come for the Red Army to cross the last major natural obstacle before Berlin - the Oder river. One of the many planned crossings was the 61st Army's effort to get the 8th Penal Battalion across to the south side of a destroyed rail bridge near the town Neu Glietzen. The penal units were made up of ex-POWs deemed not trustworthy, political prisoners and soldiers who had conducted "unauthorized retreats". Preparations were hasty, and the crossing was to be done in boats of make-shift construction.
Attacker: Russian (8th Separate Penal Battalion, 89th Rifle Corps)
Defender: German (Jäger-Regiment 56, 5. Jäger-Division and Panzerjäger-Kompanie 1005)

2021-06-05(D) nathan wegener vs Doug Kirk German winRussian over stretched on turn 3 and the reinforcements saved the day.
The river crossing was a sideshow.
2021-03-21(A) Eric Topp vs Ron Oxford Russian winRon and I made a couple of tactical mistakes with this scenario. I didn't put a MMG in M20 to cover the road. Ron forgot that the Russians have PF (SSR 5) and the JgPz met a fiery end.

My Russian jailbirds failed a lot of swimming rolls (E6.1) but eventually most of them got across the river and dug in. Without armoured support, the Germans could not eliminate the beachhead.
