Overview:

The Fuhrer was dead and the Soviet juggernaut was fast closing in on the remnants of the 1st SS Panzer Division (Leibstandarte). Now, even these, the most fanatical German troops knew the war was over. None of them wanted to be the last to die, or even worse, become a prisoner of the Russians. On 2 May, Untersturmfuhrer Warnecke led a detachment of former Tiger tank crews from SS-Panzer Abteilung 591 to the Nibelungen Work to draw two new Jagdtigers and bring them back to the division headquarters. From there, they road-marched to Waidhofen where they formed a kampfgruppe with ten newly delivered Panzer IVs. Their mission was to delay the lead elements of the Russian 20th Guards Rifle Corps while the rest of Leibstandarte retreated to the west, taking the last open corridor to surrender to the American army. One Jagdtiger was immobilized and had to be destroyed by its crew before the fight even started, leaving the last Jagdtiger to wait in ambush with the Panzer IVs. Soon, Russian tanks came into view. . .

2020-07-10(D) Ulric Schwela vs Stefano Cuccurullo German (SS) winA very spread out and off balance German defence soon got chewed up by the Russian, and the infantry was destroyed piecemeal. While the scout cars were misused, the T-34s overwhelmed the JgdTiger losing only one, but then the Pz IVs proceeded to pick off every T-34 trying to make the exit, making for an automatic win even if every last German infantry was eliminated for little Russian loss, right in the last CCPh. A tense game that swung both ways repeatedly.
2020-07-02(A) Simon Staniforth vs Russian win
2020-06-28(A) Andy Bagley vs Steve Hunt Russian winVery close - thought I was going to lose after making very slow progress and losing two T34/85s in the first couple of turns. However, I eventually managed to immobilise the JagdTiger and subsequent fire forced the crew to bail out, and the luck then started going my way. I was kept in suspense as one PzkwIV managed to remain concealed until my very last turn. I finally found and destroyed it in the AFPh by surrounding it with three T34/85s, whilst another T34/85 managed to rush past the other PzkwIV to exit as required, and my last CC attacks then finished the job.
