Overview:

Many Axis soldiers in Arbuzov arose on a bitterly cold Christmas Day to discover that they had been abandoned. The main force had apparently continued on their retreat without rounding up all the soldiers in the column from their scattered nighttime resting places. The abandoned soldiers, about 1500 in number, mostly Italians, believed they were doomed and decided to sell their lives dearly. Soon they heard the sounds of approaching Soviet troops. . .

2020-11-01(D) Paul Works vs Doug Leach Italian / German winSioux City Street Fighting Tournament; round one. Doug had a good attack with one platoon coming in toward the south-east clump of buildings, one platoon from the north with the tank, and his main force coming in directly from the east. His SE force got shot up moving to assault the buildings on the east side of the street and posed no further problem. His northern force shoved through my weak screen and into the north side of the village. His main force started off well, but got held up on the north-east side of the central crossroad. The Russians were able to break my stacks (and ELR many Italians), but I was very hot on my rally rolls; I rolled numerous "3s" and "4s" to rally Italian and German DM brokies (and even a "2" to battle harden an Italian squad!). My wounded 9-2 got a sequence of two low DRs to smash up a stack of Russians on Turn 3. The Russian Prep Fire on Turn 4 did nothing to my troops and by the end of the German Player Turn, I still had Good Order troops in five of the buildings on the south-west corner of the crossroad - the Russians had four broken MMC in addition to their losses of four full squads. Doug conceded at this point. This is a enjoyable, and stressful, little scenario!
2020-10-27(A) Dave Mareske vs Wynn Policky Russian winWe had a great game in the Sioux City Street Fighting Tournament. It came down to the last CC roll. Having one of the German walking wounded squads go Berserk in the final German turn made it tough on the Germans. The Russians had to muscle through 8 "12s"...many of them in CC allowing the Axis to escape and fight on. By the end the Russians had lost half their force, had to crash their tank into a building to overrun and break a squad one of the final squads and then gang up on the Berserk squad, narrowly eliminating it in CC.
