Overview:

The 1. Skijager-Division was the first and only ski division in the Wehrmacht. Although created for the snow-covered north, the division would spend all its active time in the desperate battles of Heeres-Gruppe Mitte. The elite division received the new assault rifles, and heavy Grille and Hummel self-propelled guns. In early August 1944 the Red Army had established a small bridgehead across the Vistula at Annopol, and reinforcements and supply trickled in across a foot bridge. On 30 August, German artillery and rocket launchers fired a ten-minute bombardment. When the barrage lifted, Skijager infantry, combat engineers and armor attacked. . .
Attacker: German (Ski-Pionier-Abteilung 85 | Skijager-Regiment 1, 1. Skijager-Division)

2021-11-06(A) Richard Jenulis vs David Wolfe Russian winWest Coast Rumble 2021 - round 2: This was a very fun scenario. The game came down to two close combat rolls. As the Germans, I needed to be a tad bit more aggressive on the last turn.
2018-08-04(D) Stephen dedier vs Holt, Jim German winThis one was close fought. The Germans were overrunning the poor Russians when the ART went on a tear and mauled 2.5 squads and a leader. A couple of squads we holding out on the hill one in CC and another in a foxhole.
Russian reinforcements managed to get into a good position behind and in the rubble.
Start of the last Russian turn
1 Russian squad in CC in the victory buildng
1 Squad in a foxhole with a hero withn 2 of the victory building
3 squads in the Rubble and behind it.
So i had 4 squads in position (3 needed for victory) and a CC.
During the German d-fire 2x 4 +1 shots broke the unit in the foxhole and one behind the rubble and my other unit in CC was eliminated. Hope was lost with the Germans still having a turn to go.

Great game though.
