Overview:

By mid-September, Army Group North had been stopped short of its goal of the capture of Leningrad. What they had been unable to achieve by force, they now hoped to accomplish by starving the city out. Leningrad was entirely cut off except for the Lake Lagoda route. The only real relief possible would have to be some breach of the land blockade. During the month of September, Russian troops fought furiously to crack the blockade. To the south, in the area of Starays-Russa/Demyansk, the Red Army planned to break through the German defenders and swing north to hit the flanks of the German armies assaulting Leningrad. In the villages of Kirilovschina, Grutiki, Chilkovo, and Lushno, the soldiers of the Totenkopf were about to face this Red onslaught.

2020-06-28(A) Jason White vs Owen White German (SS) winWe had a great time with this one. I was the Germans. Set up my gun too close to the front, but was able to take out one of the tanks early.

From there, it was back and forth all game. Lots of good rolls, some interesting snipers, a squad with a light machine gun was able to hold hte left flank. After some great rallies, a berzerk half squad charge and a merciless mortar that kept rolling crits, it came down to two melees in buildings for the game (it was tough to exit enough points, especially with the conscripts). Russians came in, desperately needing to win a 1-1 close combat. They rolled a 2. Then we shifted over to the second melee, where a full Russian squad was taking on a half squad. The Russians rolled poorly, and the last building needed for victory remained in German hands, contested. The clock had run out. I really enjoyed it. Reminiscent of Scenarios A and B, which, for us, have a lot of close combat, snipers, and craziness.
2020-01-11(D) Marco Pasquini vs Biserni Alberto German (SS) win
2019-05-15(D) Dan Best vs Dave Marekse Russian winSet up too far forward and the Russian masses were right on top of the forward units. Well played by Dave.
2019-05-15(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Russian win
2017-06-19(D) leo zhu vs Erwin Lau Russian winNot setup well in the beginning.When many Rus come from left blank, I have to move some units from the right.But terrible rice make me lost a lot of units.Finnaly, Rus cannot win by retreat enough units, they win by occupy all the buildings.
