Overview:

While pushing into the industrial area of the city, advancing elements of the 389th Infantry Division isolated a contingent of the 308th Rifle Division in the crucial Dzerhezinsky Tractor Works. The German command decided to crush this island of resistance and to help, brought up a crack team of assault engineers. However, the Russians had noted a critical weakness in the ring around the Tractor Works and had decided to launch a major counterattack to relieve their garrison there.
Attacker: German (389th Infantry Division: Company A, Assault Engineer Battalion 50 / Kampfgruppe Tienhan / Kampfgruppe Stahler)

2022-05-22(D) James Forrest vs Russian winGermans entered the factory from the East early, and managed to hold for a couple of turns. Accurate Russian fire pushed them out after a few turns with heavy losses. Not able to mount another offensive effectively.
2022-01-06(A) Simon Staniforth vs Russian winGermans moved first and got an early lodgement in the factory but were thrown out. Meantime KG Stahler was holding firm and keeping the counterattack at bay until T3 when some strong Russian Prep just about broke all of them allowing the Russians to HW getting 3 squads and the Commissar across to the factory. With the balance of this force comfortably able to follow next turn, and most of the original Fanatics still holding the Factory, I couldn’t see a German win from here so called the game. Old school ASL with mighty FGs led by -2 / -3 leaders blasting away at each other, great fun but a few good rolls for either side and the game quickly turns.
2021-12-09(A) Jeff B vs Bronson Banhart German win9.25 hrsGermans moved first (a must), but were unable to make much headway the first turn. They did, however, manage to hold off the Russian horde in the west. Turn 2 saw them much better positioned, having cleared the whole eastern side of the factory and position themselves ready to move in next turn. The Russian 9-2 was also lost, obviously a major blow to the defense, and many Russians were broken with little place to go, But a FT would start a fire that would (in the end) engulf almost the entire building. Turn 3 saw the Germans storm the factory in force, and by the end there was only a sole berserk squad remaining. The Russians still had not taken any of the western stone buildings, and from there out the Germans were just too well positioned for the Russians to overcome them. Always fun, but really dependent on if the Germans move first.
2021-05-20(D) Steve Smit vs Chris German win2nd live game in a long time. Germans moved first, with all flamethrowers inoperable on their first shots. However they managed to get across the road in into the factory for a grinding assault engineer blast a thon. The Russian pushed hard to get into the factory from the north but couldn't get enough firepower into the factory before it fell. Good game. Lots learned.
2021-03-16(D) Grant Hewitt vs Lee Hyde Russian winRather weighted towards the Russians, this one. German moved first. Good sniper activity in turn 1 gave the advancing Russians the advantage, advancing rapidly to and reinforcing the factory. The Germans conceded at the end of their turn 4, despite the Russians foolishly casualty reducing an entire stack of 5-2-7s and wounding a 9-1 leader with boxcars on FPF.
2020-11-10(A) Nate Gregg vs Chris Gregg German win
2020-11-10(D) Chris Gregg vs Nate Gregg German win[Imported from ROAR]
2020-04-04(D) Gordon Jupp vs Simon Church Russian winThe German Engineers made rapid progress but so did the Russian Counter attacking troops, with the Factory in German hands at T4 it looked grim for the Russians but the reinforcing troops plus rallying of brokies swung the balance and by T6 the factory was retaken completely; large number of snipers!
2019-10-21(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna Russian win
2019-02-03(D) O Ramaille vs Russian winThe German engineers from Greup were not as effective as expected. It was Tienham with his men that first entered the factory and would held the southern portion during a long time. The Stahler group tried to resist the Russian counter-attck from the 295th Rifle Division, but leaks in the defense quickly began to appear. In the factory, the Germans resisted a very long time against overwhelming odds but in the last turn they were forced to rout away. A complete Russian victory despite heavy losses.

2017-09-16(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Russian winThe horror...the horror. As the Germans, I found a way to lose the game in less than 3 full turns! Woohoo!!!

2012-09-10(A) Richard Carter vs Eric Russian winI have not done a lot of griping about the sniper, but his sniper killed a 9-2, a 10-3, and an 8-1 in this one. I was really crippled by it. I got overrun more or less and was unable to get more than one hex in the factory
