Overview:

Marshal Zhukov mustered six tank armies within the 1st Ukrainian Front and, on March 4, launched them with the town of Tarnopol as a key objective. The "Mud Offensive" was successful and 200,000 Germans under General Hube became trapped, victim's of Hitler's no retreat order. Fortunately, by early April the Germans managed to skillfully extract themselves from Hube's Pocket. The 5,000 defenders of Tarnopol were not so lucky. German armor units were tasked to break the stranglehold but received an unexpected guest. . ."Joseph Stalin" tanks armed with 122mm guns.

2022-07-16(A) Andy Bagley vs Burnie Hegdahl Russian winI couldn't find a way through my opponent's excellent defence as the Russians. Rather than defending in front of the hill, he concentrated his forces on the edge of the hill, and often one hex back from there. Which meant that I couldn't hit him from range, and got hit with PBF as soon as I climbed to Level 1. It also meant that all of his units were close to the four victory buildings and were able to defend in strength when I eventually got close.
I tried to counter this but surrounding the hill and looking for weak spots, but this left my units too spread out, and inadequate to advance when they took casualties - which they did. I also planned to use smoke, but the Mortar ht got hit by his AT Gun and my Stummel malf'ed on its first shot. The IS-2s placed in the middle of the village also proved impervious to any attacks, swinging round to knock out a panther with a lucky shot when it attempted to creep up from behind.
So all in all not my finest hour, but a good game all the same.
