Overview:

After a long night of struggling to secure little more than a tentative hold on the north bank of the Psel, the Totenkopf's Panzer Regiment received ordered to expand the bridgehead and explore the Russian defensive positions in the region. Unbeknownst to them, the reinforced 95th Guards Rifle Division was moving into positions overlooking the village of Krasny Oktabyr. As the Germans moved up from the river's edge, the two forces collided under a summer squall, mutual surprise giving way to ferocious fighting.
Attacker: Russian (95th Guards Rifle Division; 178th Tank Brigade)
Defender: German (SS) (3rd SS Totenkopf Division)

2011-10-02(A) nathan wegener vs Albert W Russian winReally enjoyed this one. A great taste of Kursk in a small package. My T-34's got good rolls and took out the PzIVs as his Tigers slowly picked them off. The SU's stayed on the hill out of site to defend the rush. The Tigers had to rush the hill to win and the SU's came thru and picked them off.
