Overview:
The German offensive to retake Kharkov put the Russian Voronezh Front in disarray. Shortages of fuel and ammo hampered the Russians. The siutation got worse on March 13th when the Grossdeutschland Division attacked north of Kharkov along the seam between the 40th and 69th Armies. Penetrating deep into the Russian lines, the armored elements, including a company of Tigers, turned northeast in the direction of Tomarovka. The Russian command committed the 3rd Guards Tank Corps to slow down the German advance.Attacker: Russian (3rd Guards Tank Corps)
Defender: German (Panzer Regiment, Grossdeutschland Division)

| 2021-02-07 | (D) Jonathan Townsend | vs | Myself | German win | A close win, the Russians exited 2 and killed four (including a Tiger) but the Germans killed seven. A fierce furious fight. Helped me to digest the intricacies of Prep, Bounding, and Bouding FF - along with Motion or moving tatgets or firers. |

| 2021-01-30 | (D) Jason Mr. | vs | Tony Fermendzin | Russian win | My first AFV battle, I hadn't even pushed counters around yet, just read the rules and watched a couple Tactical Tuesday battles. I want to thank Tony for his patience while I tried and failed to make tactical decisions and walked me through my DRM mistakes. The Russians had balance and were halfway across the map spread pretty evenly. My decision to meet the Russian T-34s head on in the open proved deadly as 3 out of 4 Panzers were destroyed in the West, then the decision to defend the East with Tigers on elevation, created point that the Russian tanks just drove around and swarmed in and past with no issues to end the game in 1 1/2 turns. I would like to say it was fun but my brain just exploded. I will learn from my mistakes and continue to learn. Thank you again for the Game Tony. Log file added to user files. |
| 2021-01-25 | (A) Jonathan Plott | vs | Steve Boro | Russian win (VASL Log) | Another in the Tactical Tuesday Game of the Month series, Another go at this scenario after my debacle a couple of weeks back. Rather than try to stand and fight against superior tanks, the initial plan was to run the Russian tanks as far and as fast as possible towards the southern border. For this particular scenario, the Russians received the balance. It turned into a close-in running gun battle. Movement was the key to the strategy, and the T-34's made NO Prep Fires in the game. 4 Russian tanks made it off the board, and 6 died on the field; a Tiger crew Shocked/UK and two Pz IVs wrecked as well. Thought that where the game would end, then my very able opponent rolls a 4 for shock removal in the German Turn 3...and the Tiger dies. A Russian "win" by the barest of margins and with incredible luck for the Soviets. This was born out by the DR stats: I had the best game I've ever played, 6.30 avg; my great opponent Steve B was deserted by Lady Luck with a 7.05 and an untimely MA Malf on a perfectly positioned Pz IV. Great game, Steve! |
