Overview:

To the south of Borodino, the SS Das Reich was committed to several actions aimed at breaking the Soviet lines in order to rush towards the east. The Der Fuhrer Regiment, fighting on the southern flank of the Division, had regrouped and was to seize the village of Yudinki, whose forward defense consisted of some of the finest Russian youth - the Lenin Cadets.

2023-08-24(D) Shaun Andrews vs Jeff Talor Russian winThe Germans got bogged down on turn two via being tied up in four different CC that all lasted for approximately three turns. This created a favorable timetable for the Russians to win.
2023-08-06(A) Mark Thompson vs Steve Blunt (Russians) German (SS) winThe SS attacked with alacrity and the Russians responded with an effective fighting withdrawal through the forest but fate intervened rather heavily mid-game in favor of the SS in the form of DRs, an X'd-out Russian intensive-firing HMG, and ineffectively DC attacks by the Russian HIP'd 3-2-8s. The SS then flanked and overwhelmed the defenders and took all 10 buildings by the SS turn 6, prompting Russian concession. Well-played by both sides with few mistakes, probably decided by "the bot". Key to SS victory is to heavily deploy, move 3+ hexes forward each turn, relentlessly press, infiltrate, flank, and encircle the defenders, and assiduously avoid CC.
2023-06-24(D) Indy Lagu vs Magnus Rimvall Russian winThis one is apparently a classic, and I can see why.

It is a textbook fall back; as the Russians, your decisions on when
to fall back and how far are crucial.

Most of my units were in the woods on the Russian right. The evil
SS put most of their units there as well...makes sense as the other
flank is open ground.

Magnus played a very good game, and could have won if it weren't
for a couple of crucial DR at crucial times. I felt this match was tense
from the first wind change DR to the last Russian turn. The Germans
surrendered in their last MPh as they could not capture the requisite
number of buildings.

A classic scenario; well worth a playing.
2021-09-08(D) nathan wegener vs Scott Martin German (SS) winFought a good delaying action but lost the open flank a turn too soon and ran out of troops to defend the last turn. Close match.
2020-12-12(D) Christopher Graff vs Stephen Solomon Russian winA hard pressed victory that came to a win due to CVP. SS were bloodied badly on turns 1-2 and had a hard time recovering from initial assault through the woods. Eventually came back to push the Russians back towards the village. Steve did a great job pressing me with him flamethrower and elite troops, but it just wasn't in time. A great scenario that I really enjoyed.
