Overview:
The evening of June 24, Infantry-Regiment 505 was established within 12 km of Liepaja in Latvia. The following day, jointly with Kriegsmarine commandos led by Lieutenant-Commander Schenke, the 505th attempted to take the maritime fortress by surprise but the attack had failed. On the 27th, the men of the 505th got a foothold in the southern part of the fortress. The following day, a bloody street battle was engaged against the particularly combative Russian defenders.Attacker: German (Infanterie Regiment 505, Infanterie Division 291/Kriegsmarine Sturmabteilung 530)

| 2025-08-28 | (A) Tripp Killin | vs | Phil Watkins | German win (VASL Log) | 6 hrs | Germans popped smoke for days, and the Russians had some very bad early dice rolls. The Germans were able to make it to the 1X4 building with their forces intact and work their way through the building. Phil's strong fall back defense and a impressive Commissar took it all the way to Russian Turn 6. But German Final Fire broke the remaining, encircled Russians in the upper levels and the game ended. | |
