Overview:

On the eve of Operation Barbarossa, SS-Kampfgruppe Nord was upgraded to a full SS Motorized Division. Not only the outfit's designation was new to the men, but also their weapons and in many respects the whole concept of warfare. The attack route lay through rough and unscouted terrain swept in haze from the prepatory barrage. Under the worst possible conditions would the Nord troops receive their baptism of fire.
Attacker: German (SS) (Bataillon I, SS-Infanterie-Regiment 7, SS-Division “Nord” and Gruppe Tölke, Panzer-Abteilung 40 zBV)
Defender: Russian (122nd Rifle Division and 2nd Tank Battalion, 1st Tank Regiment, 1st Tank Division)

2022-01-19(A) Andy Bagley vs Matt Ellis German (SS) winGreat scenario, really challenging for both sides. For the Germans, moving Green squads through streams and woods is a nightmare, plus the danger of a -1 capture attempt against them in CC. And only two leaders slows things even more. The Russians on the other hand need to slow the German advance whilst not losing casualties, in order to keep under the VP level.
The Russians started well, with an upfront defence that retreated as soon as German units entered the stream, and the minefield placed just across the bridge on the main road. However, I eventually managed to take two bridges and the northern building whilst keeping both my tanks alive, so just needed to eliminate three Russian squads to win. This I did during turn 5, kindly helped by the Russian commissar (perhaps a mistake converting the 8-1 leader) who repeatedly failed to rally broken Russian squads/HSs. One Russian tank made a last dash to try to eliminate one of my tanks, but failed when a fanatic HS and hero caught it with CC Reaction Fire.
2021-08-31(A) Asad Rustum vs Bob Zinselmeyer German (SS) win
2020-04-15(D) Matias Dahlbäck vs Stefan Fiedler German (SS) winThings I could've done differently:
- change the AP-mines for AT-mines and put them towards the end of the road, near the village. A threat unrealized is sometimes more effective than a threat realized and overcome
- thought: have the HIPpie near the edge of the setup and have it reveal and re-take objectives once the Germans have rushed through and on their way towards the village?
2019-09-15(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Duenskie, Ron Russian win
2017-06-23(D) Paul Works vs Roy Connelly Russian win2017 Texas ASL Tournament.
