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)
Defender: Russian (106th Rifle Division, 79th Rifle Corps)

| 2026-04-17 | (A) Paul Legg | vs | Chip Wertenberger | German win (VASL Log) | Friday Night Fight - played with the new VASL 6.7.2 on 3.7.20 and had some problems which seemed linked to the 5/8 counters. Have included vlog but there were issues. I had low rolls in the early game and it looked like it might be a roll-over for the Germans. This meant I was able to interdict all the entry points for the Russian reinforcements. Things swung back around turn 4 or 5 which made it much harder but one of the bisons managed to get in two good hits and when it got a crit on the last turn which RS chose for both units Chip conceded. | ||
