Overview:

0630-hrs Panzer Battalion Großdeutschland had already successfully repulsed the early morning Soviet tank attack.

2026-06-18(A) Michael Rodgers vs John Garlic German win4 hrsI played the Russians stupidly by coming down the road during the “screen phase”. It caused me to take unnecessary losses on the first turn. I conceded just before the Germans reinforcements came on.

2021-06-11(D) Jason Nichols vs Jason Wert Russian winI found this to be a real struggle from the start. The Germans are faced with Russian occupation of the town after the sequential setup.

I probably made a mistake in splitting my forces and attacking from two directions, neither of which force had enough firepower to overcome the defenders. When my reinforcing armoured cars were also picked off I conceded.
