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.

2023-05-21(A) Yuqi Xiong vs Gregory Russian winDefinitely a great classic intro scenario, but all Russian player needs to do is to retreat as many units as possible, into the formidable fortified building X4. Fabian strategy works all the time.
As German player, I should have used detection rule more aggressively, as fortified location can also be detected. In the contest of the X4 building, I need to form FG wisely and limit the movement of defenders.
2023-05-05(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Marino Manfroni German winIt's always fun to play this classic.
2023-03-07(A) Rob Schmitt vs Mitch Davis Russian winGermans had a good advance up to the point of assaulting the main objective fortified building. The Russian defensive fire completely broke up the assault into the building. German was not able to regroup and breach the building. Definitely a good scenario to play.
2023-02-16(A) Terrence Dorsey vs Solo German winGermans won on the last turn. Russians made a few tactical errors, starting with my initial misunderstanding of fortified building rules. If I'd grasped the requirements for fortification better, I think the balance would have been in favor of the Russians in this playing. I'll play both sides very differently next time.
2022-08-14(D) Craig Renier vs Tim Keller Russian winThe German advance for the first half of the scenario was cautious resulting in few casualties. However, the slow approach cost valuable time. In addition, the Russians were able to withdraw to the VC building with the majority of their force intact. The Germans became bolder, but the Russians had too much FP making it extremely difficult to breach the building. With a final desperate assault, the Germans suffered under withering fire leaving few units remaining.
