2024-03-09 | (D) Andy Bagley | vs | John Kennedy | | Russian win | Unfortunately the Germans never really got going in this one. They chose a southern flank attack and fell victim to my tanks on the hill and the hidden AT gun firing into sides and rear, By the end of turn 2 the Germans had lost all four tanks for the loss of just the Russian T34/85, and their infantry had stalled, so an early concession. |
2024-02-03 | (D) nathan wegener | vs | Scott Martin | | Russian win | My hilltop positions pushed the Germans to attack behind the woods. 45LL ATG had a chance at some side shots but missed and the Russian tanks fell to accurate panzer fire. The ATG started shooting up infantry on the German right flank which slowed the overall attack enough to prevent German from getting all 4 buildings. |

2022-02-24 | (A) Andy Bagley | vs | Peter Dunn | | Russian win | Things started well for me as the Germans when a HS with PSK was lucky to successfully bail out from a Panther and destroy the Russian IS-2. I then moved forward towards the buildings, with a few squads breaking but no serious losses, whilst a Panther took care of the T-34 and my PzkwIV had any number of 45LL AT rounds bounce of it.
I then made a serious error. The PzkwIV exited, and I could have got a Panther off as well, thus satisfying that part of the German victory requirement before the deadly Russian SU-100s appeared. Instead, I chose to keep in on-board in the hope of delaying the SU-100s, but fell victim to a lucky AFPh shot which destroyed it. I figured I had no chance of getting any infantry off, so needed one of the two remaining Panthers to exit. These had a much harder journey to exit, and neither of them succeeded. By this time I had managed to take all of the board 33 buildings, but probably wouldn't have held them either.
Moral for me: don't be over-ambitious with AFVs! Good fun scenario though. |

2018-02-03 | (D) John Gorkowski | vs | David Garvin | | Russian win | Our game play demonstrated the value of playing through your pain to the very last dice roll because luck is a fickle mistress who likes to switch sides.
The German main force of three Panthers and several squads surged forward into the leafless orchards of board 38. They simultaneously advanced one infantry platoon along the woods to their right and a Panzer IVJ through the wood line on their left to approach my Russian hill position on board 18.
My hilltop T-34/85 spied a tempting flank shot at a Panther in the orchards below. But I rolled boxcars to break my gun and fumble the opportunity of a lifetime. To make matters worse, my IS-2’s mighty 122 mm gun at the head of the orchard in the valley below flubbed its one shot. A couple of decent small arms attacks did take out a few German half squads.
But things got worse during my turn. My T34/85 failed to repair its main gun. The IS-2 missed again! And then, that scrawny Panzer IVJ scored a critical hit against my T34/85 that turned the hill top into a funeral pyre. Again, my Russian infantry nibbled at the German advance, but Jerry fired back at my foxholes to break my best leader, two squads, and their MMG.
I felt like quitting. There I was in the second turn of an infantry-armor scenario with no armor. The Germans hadn’t lost a single tank, although one Panther had a busted main gun. All I had left to “threaten” them was a puny 45mm anti-tank gun. But I did not want to deny David the sweet taste of victory. So, I soldiered on.
Then the dice changed. One of David’s Panthers drove deep into my position, to corner the broken 8-1, squads, and MMG, and so unknowingly ended its move adjacent to my HIP 45mm anti-tank gun. That side shot worked; the Panther brewed up. Then some tertiary small arms attack stirred the Russian sniper who took out the German 9-1! Both of his escorting 5-4-8 squads failed their leader loss morale checks and so routed to the rear with their LMGs.
Two German tanks exited to secure the necessary exit VP while one stayed behind with what infantry remained to secure the board 38 village. My two SU-100s entered, one on the left and one on the right, to put the one remaining Panther in a cross fire. It pivoted for defensive fire but missed. Then my CE SU-100 fired and hit. David and I both gasped when we realized that the Russian 100L had a kill number of 27! Bye, bye Panther. The other SU-100 later scored a critical hit against a German half squad and rubbled a building in the process.
The end game saw about six German squads trying to traverse a few open ground hexes to overtake about six Russian squads flanked by SU-100s guarding the village. The Russians held on to two of four critical buildings for the win.

2017-06-11 | (A) Paolo Cariolato | vs | Alessandro Demichelis | | German win | i was finally able to play this classic scenario against a very competent opponent, both german and russian needs to make no mistakes in order to win.
Stongly reccomended. |
2017-03-25 | (A) Vic Lauterbach | vs | MA | | German win | A few good die rolls tipped this one to the Germans: notably Smoke for the PzIV and a 75LL turret hit on the HD T-34/85, but it still came down to CC for building BB2 in the last Game Turn. Russian setup error contributed - did not block the road at Z5 with the 45LL or a squad in a 1S Foxhole. |
2016-09-13 | (D) Tom Kearney | vs | Al Saltzman | | Russian win | |
2015-07-11 | (D) Jim Kloss | vs | Bob Eury | | Russian win | The German player should use the armor in a Schwerpunkt type combined arms assault against the board 38 VC buildings.
The Russian 45LL, if placed on the small level 1 hill near the east edge of board 18, will have an excellent field of fire to slow or prevent the German's exit VC conditions. |

2014-10-04 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | José Tomás | | Russian win | I pushed through the woods and managed to reach beyond the buildings but in a strike of bad luck malf'd two Panther guns, one of them losing also a CMG. I used this Panther to exit the map to grasp 7 VP. Then I slowly pushed against the buildings and took them moving out some infantry for the exit conditions. But in the last building the Russians held three Melee rounds and finally I could not take it, so it was a Russian win. There were lots of PF blasts, blazed heavy tanks and overruns. It was a very tight and fun scenario where you could not afford to do a single mistake. |
2013-10-13 | (A) Alessandro Demichelis | vs | Adam Lunney | | German win | There are two maps but all VCs are on map 38, heavy metal toys plus several elite squads.

2012-08-06 | (D) Andy Beaton | vs | Ted Wilcox | | Russian win | The dice gave me this one pure and simple. Fun scenario though, and it looked very bad for the Russians until some key rolls showed up. The Germans just don't have time to be delayed. |
2012-01-20 | (D) Thomas Lynch | vs | Sean Finnerty | | Russian win | A few lucky shots from my IS-2 sealed this one up early. |
2010-11-26 | (A) Glen Taylor | vs | Dennis | | German win | Good scenario. Attack if force with the Germans and take the buildings quickly. Exit 1 Panther and 1 Mark IV for your victory exit condition. Then hold on tight for the counter attack. Fun! |
2010-10-29 | (D) Paul Jones | vs | Dave Schofield | | German win | Excellent scenario. Lots of options and could have gone either way |
2010-10-16 | (A) nathan wegener | vs | Albert W | | Russian win | Lost 3 panzers to CC. Was too aggressive with infantry and lost several due to FTR. Got the buildings but nothing to stop the counterattacking SUs. |
