Overview:
As the Soviet offensive to secure the right flank of the drive on Berlin, a 50 kilometer gap still existed between two of the German divisions defending Pomerania. The Soviet 70th Army, which included the 1st Guards Tank Corps and the 96th Rifle Corps, was ordered to attack northward into the gap to exploit the situation. German 2. Armee commander Weiss was well aware of the gap but had only one mobile reserve available, Panzer-Division 7. SS-Grenadier-Division 15, a unit made up mainly of Latvians, was nearing the end of its strength and Weiss considered reinforcing it, but he decided instead to send Panzer-Division 7 to Konitz, behind the SS division to seal the gap. By opting to do so, he also sealed the fate of the Latvians. The spearhead of the Soviet attack into the Konitz gap, a strike force consisting of three assault guns with infantry support. The advanced through a thick woods toward the stream that lay across their line of advance and had a single bridge still intact. It was vital to take the bridge before it could be destroyed.Attacker: Russian (1st Guards Tank Corps)

| 2025-08-08 | (A) Paul Legg | vs | Mark Thompson | A | Russian win (VASL Log) | Friday Night Fight Mark went for a full deployment in the backfield of the setup area. This would prove costly as I was able to close quickly with his germans once they had fired especially when he laid firelanes. I entered on the left side using my infantry to check for possible PF ambushes. Mark had to relocate a lot from the right flank during his turn 1. During turn 2 my infantry screen discovered a number of units in the orchards and systematically destroyed them. Mark conceded in turn 4 when he was down to only a couple of GO hs. | |
| 2024-02-11 | (A) Vic Lauterbach | vs | JM | German (SS) win | This small, late-war scenario was fun and close. It's a great use of variable defender OB. I attacked both flanks to spread out Jim's small force, but my main objective was getting infantry into the 72Z2-DD3 woods. One SU-76 fell to a PF and the other two were burned by the arriving PzIV. I got 9 exit VP across with 4 more in the stream, but PzIV fire and a PSK shot broke all but one (and one in melee). Note that the VC EXC prevents the slease tactic of abandoning SU-76s in the stream and advancing the crews out on the last turn! Jim: I like the tricky trade off given the defender. I took the PzIV and 9-1 armor leader figuring its firepower and mobility could neutralize the SU-76s and then hammer Vic's main crossing force. That worked, but just a few missed shots would have cost me the win. | ||
