Overview:

On the day of the German invasion of Russia, the main body of the Russian 30th Tank Division was located in the woods south-east of Pruzhany. Alerted by the distant sound of guns, the 30th Division's combat elements were redeployed to their pre-planned positions south of the town. Their orders were simple: stop Guderian's 18th Panzer Division. - - - - In "Barbarossa D-day", German tanks and infantry on motorcycles need to clear a small hamlet defended by infantry from the Russian 205th Motorized Division. Lacking any form of AT capability, things look dark for the Russians until six T-26 from 30th Tank Division appear on the scene.

2025-06-26(A) James Rimmer vs Martin Marquis Russian winAs the Geman I was very aggressive. Sent my bikes right up the road. Had him on the run into the T-26 came in. Was too aggressive with my tanks and lost them all by T4.

2025-06-13(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Russian win2 hrsVery fun scenario! My Germans struggled with dice rolls (as usual for me). I MALF'd both guns on the armored car on its first shot. Then I MALF'd a 50 MKIII and it was Recalled. Then I MALF'd the MA on the 37L MKIII. Despite this, the Germans knocked out 5 of the 6 Russian Tanks. But German infantry kept breaking and no rallies. At game end. Three broken German squads and only 3 in action. Russian victory as the Germans couldn't break the final two Russian squads in the village.
2025-04-24(D) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall Russian win3.25 hrsGermans approached relatively safely behind cover of the southern and western woods. The AC entered from the east and proceeded to break its MA on its first shot. It then lost its CMG the next turn. The Germans got a bit of a bloody nose pushing up into the hedge compound. Turn 3 saw the Russians lose a squad to capture and their commissar to elimination. The AC, which had made its way into the walled compound to cause trouble for these units, was flamed up by the much-needed reinforcing tanks. Turn 4 saw the Germans HMG break down when it was desperately needed to clear the walls. A 468 made it inside the walls, where a T26 busted its gun trying to oust him. A T26 immobilized one of the two Panzers encroaching on it, and probably would've had problems, but the Germans decided to throw in the towel before it got to that point after they were knocked down to 1.5 good order squads. Magnus' dice were ice cold in our last session, averaging over 9 on his 17 rolls. Mine weren't a whole lot better, breaking the 8 mark. So hard to really gauge this scenario from our playing, but I suspect the Germans need to move quite deliberately their first couple turns.
2024-03-07(D) Andy Bagley vs Stuart Brant Russian winFun scenario where German and Russian tanks chase each other round while the Russian infantry tries to hold out in a small cluster of buildings. Despite having to use platoon movement, my Russian tanks came off better thanks to some fortunate shooting, and although the Germans almost surrounded my infantry, they couldn't quite break in for the win.
