Overview:

In October the Soviets launched an offensive to take Königsberg. Their most direct route was through East Prussia. One sector of the front was defended by the 549th Volksgrenadier Division. The 276th Sturmgeschütz Brigade was sent to provide much needed armor support for the Volksgrenadiers. Together, both units defended stubbornly and slowly fell back. On the 23rd, a counter attack was made to take back Kleinshellendorf. Despite no sleep since the 20th, Leutnant Alfred Regeniter led seven assault guns with attached Volksgrenadiers through a wooded area, but soon encountered Russians preparing to advance west.
Attacker: German (1099th Grenadier Regiment, 549th Volksgrenadier Division and 3rd Batterie, 276th Sturmgeschütz Brigade)

2025-04-05(D) Mark Thompson vs Dan Lepore (German) Russian winThings looked dire for the Russians during the first 2.5 player turns with their mortar, an LMG, and one SU-76 malf’d, and the other taken out by a StuG. One bright spot that proved decisive: residual and a fire-lane put down by 3 squads(before their demise) and the MMG from the forward victory buildings prevented German infantry from turning the Russian left flank and breaking into the village. With VPs tied at the start of Russian turn 3, their infantry reinforcements safely reached the rear and two-hex victory buildings and their tanks decided to stay and fight it out (one stupidly attempting an OVR and being flammed by a PF - yes, Mark, the Germans have these deadly LATW called PF!). Faced with taking one hex in either the Church, two-hex, or rear victory building in their 5th player turn, the Germans concentrated on the Church with a secondary attack on the two-hex building. Here, Russian fortune turned, with Ground Level and Level One units in each laying down withering first and final fire (with many 3 & 4 DR on flat, -1, and -2 shots) that broke all adjacent German units save for a 7-0 and conscript squad incapable of wresting control of either hex in the two-hex building occupied at both levels. Tough one for the Germans IMHO unless they break into the village before reinforcements arrive. Must be aggressive while blocking the North woods rout exit to stop Russian AFV EVP.
