2020-12-22(D) Gordon Jupp vs Andy Bagley German winHard fought game but the German sniper was deadly, taking out both the Commissar and the 9-2 leaders, which made life difficult. I took the STUG's but Andy didn't the KV's, so only 3 buildings required but his attack was met by a hardened German defence on Board 71 and it wasn't to be. (Balance for Russians taken - and pretty much required we think).
2020-12-22(A) Andy Bagley vs Gordon Jupp German winGermans took the AFVs and I didn't, so only needed three buildings, but still a tough one for the Russians. I took the obvious approach through the woods but found it well defended (what i guessed were dummies weren't!). I eventually took that first building, but it was costly - particularly from his sniper - and his AT guns were also well placed, accounting for two of my tanks. I would might have secured a second building but not the third as my desperate charge towards the I9 factory failed.
2020-12-06(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Erik Grande Russian winThe russian got the balance and none of us chose the AFVs. That meant that 4 buildings needed to be taken. A bit halfhearted forward defence did nothing to the russians. It was clear that the western buildings were the target. A gun managed to kill a squad and a russian AFV malfed it´s gun and thing looked ok but then a very well conducted russian assault together with sub-par german rolling made it impossible. A shortlived dream of going around the russians to reclaim the southernmost building again was crushed by a ATR destroying my armoured car. In the end it was pure mopping up done by Eric.

2017-12-31(A) Andy Beaton vs Richard Hooks Russian winSwitched sides, the Russians didn't take the KVs, the Germans took the StuGs. German armour neutralized by T28 crit, ATR and DC attacks. Russian infantry went up the centre of board 71, bypassed the 105 and the AT guns until late in the game. Took two board 71 buildings then went right and left to take both factories with bogged T28s in them. The Russian sniper was deadly, as was the commissar, but in a bad way.
