Overview:
Throughout the grueling month of October, determined and costly German assaults had steadily shrunk the Soviet defensive perimeter. By October 24, Panzer Division 14 had reached “Bread Factory #2” just to the south of the Barikady and commenced its assault the next day, only to be rebuffed by the fierce defensive fire of the 138th Rifle Division. The remnants of Motorcycle Battalion 64 were crouched in the ruins opposite the Bread Factory, slain and wounded leaders scattered about them. There seemed to be no way across the deadly street, but Sgt. Esser could no longer stand the tension. Screaming “Forward!” he led his twelve men out into the road and into the adjacent building.Attacker: German (Kradschützenbataillon 64/Panzergrenadier Regiment 103/Panzer Division 14)
Defender: Russian (768th Rifle Regiment/Ad Hoc Reinforcements)

| 2021-09-05 | (A) Pascal Boileau | vs | Arnaud | German win | A really good scenario. The Russians fought valiantly but they were decimated by the HMG and the German 9-2 leader. The reinforcements were badly delayed by accurate German fire. In the end, the Russians led by the commissar charged across the street to take back one building hex. The issue of the game was decided in the CCPh of the last turn. |
| 2021-07-13 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Erik Krommenhoek | German win | An aggressive German setup kept the Russians from being able to skulk at all. The Russian Commissar was able to maintain a strong fighting force to include the MMG and AT gun in the Bread Factory. But ineffective defensive fire followed by strong morale checks allowed the German forces to gradually surrounded the Factory weakening the peripheral defenses. When the MMG and AT gun malfunctioned in Turns 4 and 5, there was little the Russians could do to stop the nearly intact German force. With the Bread Factory firmly in German control in Turn 5 and few Russian forces available to counterattack, the Russians conceded. |

| 2021-01-27 | (A) Igor Stolyarenko | vs | Konstantin Klyuch | German win (VASL Log) | I launched a slow attack with all my might and tried not to lose anyone. Destroying the cannon immediately after its discovery helped me. Everything was very cinematic. |
| 2020-12-28 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Tony Fermendzin | German win | On Turn 1 the Russians got two lucky shots against two German stacks, breaking a sizable portion of the German force. However, that was the limit of the success for the Russian defense. Despite laying down Defensive Fire, the German advance was relentless. When the Russian Commissar broke with its accompanying MMC, the door was cracked open for a full German assault against the Victory buildings. The Russians held up in CC and counterattacked reinforcing the Melee, but the Russian losses were too great while the German force was nearly intact. With no Good Order units remaining, the Russian conceded in Turn 5. |
