Overview:

At dawn on 26 January, the Volksdeutsche, Dutch and Scandinavian volunteers of the SS “Nordland” Division stood ready for battle outside the village of Gubanitsy. A request for armored reinforcements had been denied: they were forced to rely on a few anti-tank guns and Stummel halftracks. Fortunately for the defenders, these weapons were in capable hands, including those of Dutch SS-Rottenführer Sporck.

2023-10-30(D) Richard Jenulis vs Tony D'Andrea German (SS) winTony's Russians hit hard along my right flank trench line, guarded by the 9-1, 3 squads, a LMG and PSK. The Germans did a fair amount of damage, but the bulk of the armor were able to pass through. The trench line (which surprisingly held until the game end), was able to delay enough time for the defenders to reposition. The Russians exited 5 tanks for 10 VP and needed to take one building for a win. The Germans denied them entry at the doorway. A close game that came down to the last turn. Good replay value for the scenario.

2023-07-29(D) Mark Thompson vs Chip Wertenberger (Russians) Russian winMy Germans slanted their defense toward exit prevention, placing both ATs near the Board U road exits and a Trench system between. Unfortunately for me, Chip's Russians had no intention of exit, and used skillful combined arms to push into the village after wiping out Sporck's Ht in an overwatch position with a CH and wound-eliminating my 9-1 leading the MMG team. Snowfall turned heavy during the Russian attack, which also hampered DF, but the remaining German Hts could not get into position to cause real damage and Chip skillfully avoided the ATs once he deduced (correctly) their HIP location. Well-played attack.
