Overview:

The first encounter with Soviet heavy tanks proved to be a shock for German panzer crews, whose rounds simply bounced off the Soviet behemoths. Even the Germans’ high-density AP rounds were of little use against the KV tanks. To break out of their encirclement, the KVs of the 2nd Tank Division simply rolled right through German tanks and anti-tank guns and into the lines of Generalleutnant Otto-Ernst Ottenbacher’s Infanterie-Division 36. Without FlaK or artillery, the Landsers could only hope to stop the iron beasts with high explosives – but to do that, they would have to get in close.

2020-11-29(A) Maurizio Mai vs Jeff Sewall Russian winVery nice scenario, played in PBEM. German was unlucky, the whole reinforcement platoon was wiped out in 1 turn. Last turn, KV2 hit the stone building and broke the last resistance.
2020-08-16(D) Andy Beaton vs Richard Hooks German winRussian tanks wandered into an ambush where 2 lost their tracks and 1 was abandoned, and were unable to clear the victory building.
2020-06-20(D) David Garvin vs Greg Barsness Russian win
2020-04-29(A) O Ramaille vs Eric Ricou Russian winDespite the early loss of a KV1 tank in CCRF during VBM, the Russians managed to take position in the woods during their assault. A hidden AT gun shocked another KV tank who promptly recovered. The AT gun was then quickly overwhelmed in CC. The German defense tried to restructure without much success due to heavy fire exposure. A Russian human wave forced its way onto the German defense giving the opportunity to the other Russian troops to move forward. The German armored counter-attack was unable to cause damage to the Russian heavy armor and on the contrary lost one tank and another in UK status. With too much broken troops and outnumbered armor, the German conceded the game.
2020-01-16(D) O Ramaille vs Eric Ricou German winA high German defense with a few half-squads disturbed somehow the Russian advance. The KV's were not threatening enough with evasive Germans. The arrival of Panzers took one of the KV1 by surprise using APCR. Several Panzer overruns on the Russian infantry created masses of brookies. The Panzers and the AT shot several rounds on the KV armor without success. The German infantry decided that it was time to withdraw north of the road. With 23 German EVP and only 8 EVP for the Russians, the battle ended in a German victory.
