Overview:

Colonel General Andrei Kravchenko's 6th Guards Tank Army was attacking towards Vienna with the intent that the 5th Guards Tank Corps and the 9th Guards Mechanized Corps would bypass pockets of German resistance and close their western and northwestern escape routes to the Danube. SS-Brigadeführer Hellmuth Becker (commanding the rapidly disintegrating 3rd SS-Panzer Division) tasked his division's remaining two Tiger I tanks to protect the northern routes out of Judenau which lead to the vital Danube River bridge at Tullin. Obererscharführer's Georg Wimmer and Alois Tassler positioned their Tigers in anticipation of the Russian attack. The morning as sunny and 57 degrees when the Russian attack began.

2025-02-18(A) neal ekengren vs German German (SS) winFun scenario. My Russians could not get past the SS Ordnance setup all in the town center. Most of the Russian Infantry and Armor advanced around the town center to the left and made great progress. Russian Human Wave turn 2 to clear out the whole left. Turn 3 and 4 coordinated assaults on the center failed in all attempts. A few Russians managed to get into the backfield but not enough manpower left to take the building objectives. This seems fairly balanced but an inexperienced Russian will certainly fail.
2025-01-31(D) nathan wegener vs Doug Kirk German (SS) win4 hrsWhacked the 9-2 and 1.5 sq on turn 1. Russians ran out of troops.
2025-01-22(A) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker German (SS) win4 hrsI got the AFVs off but was too slow to get 3 of the buildings. Great to have schwerpunkt back.
