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.

2021-01-13(D) Chris Anthony vs Paul Wright Russian winGood tense game. It was Paul's first full ASL game, with lots of lessons on smoke and urban fighting. The Germans ran out of time to take the whole building, but pushed hard to the end. 2 Soviet squads remained unbroken inside the factory at the end.
2021-01-08(A) manzoli andrea vs Raffaele Di Ianni German winreally a good teaching in using DC and thinking about at breaking the fortified locations..
2020-10-22(A) Shane Pask vs German winReminiscent of SL 2 The Tractor Works. Lots of low rolls early and an unreliable Russian MMG forced the Russians back to their strong point. A DC breach opened the way in and a FT squad and 10-2 leader snuck in the other end on T5 to wreak havoc and capture the 8-1. The commissar valiantly held out to the last turn with squads breaking all around him (and rallying with him - he only had to shoot one or two). However, when he was wounded on the last turn, everyone else surrendered (5 1/2 squads).
2020-08-30(A) Macari Samuel vs Jean-Carlo Debolle Russian winGermans lost almost 5 squads during the first turn. It turn to Mission:I Impossible but a better moment in the middle of the game allowed German to reach the fortified building. It wasn't sufficient, the lack of German forces made the Russians win.
2020-07-21(D) Raoul Duke vs JA Russian winPlayed under similar circumstances as Duke vs Brian K below, only with an even tighter margin. Germans must play VERY aggressively in the early turns, and probably need to enter the target building on or before Turn 4 in order to have a shot at winning. Rooting out the Soviets can be incredibly tough, especially if they can retain concealment.
