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.

2020-05-14(A) Kai Glanz vs Steven Cook Russian winNice scenario to learn infantry city fights. Enjoyed the scenario a lot. A lot of toys like FTs, DCs on the German side.
2020-04-18(D) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba German winA really fun and furious game. I tried desperately to slow down the German progression toward the fortified building. However, this strategy was too costly for the Russians units. Only half of the defenders remained to whistand the final assault. It was not enough and the Germans seized completely the victory building during their last turn. A very nice scenario.

2020-03-24(A) David Garvin vs Matias Dahlbäck German winMy first smoke placement attempt was a 6. But after that, it was all Garvin. Matias forced me to keep the pressure on him and I was able to finally isolate the building and attack it from north to south, breaching my way into the fortified locations.
In the end, I forced his hand and was able to wrest the building from him.
2020-03-24(D) Matias Dahlbäck vs David Garvin German winYou know that moment when you think that you still have a chance but then you see that small slimmer of shining hope get extinguished in a simulated series of explosions and smokes and flames and the horrible anguished cries of your men, your soldiers, who trusted you? That moment? Yeah.
