Overview:

Operation BARBAROSSA was only a day old and the Soviet High Command was in disarray. Field commanders were given contradictory orders or none at all and organized resistance was slow to materialize. Left relatively unchecked on day 1, advance elements of the 6th Panzer Division continued the juggernaut in search of suitable roads and bridges to support the bulk of Army Group North not far behind. One such important landmark was a major road junction that converged on the small Lithuanian town of Raseiniai, where local Red Army commanders decided to make a stand.
Attacker: German (Kampfgruppe Raus and Kampfgruppe von Seckendorff; 6th Panzer Division, 114th Motorized Infantry Regiment and Panzer Recon Battalion 57)
Defender: Russian (2nd Mechanized Corps, 15th Mechanized Division and 11th Tank Division)

2025-03-08(D) Doba Serge vs Pascal B. Russian win
2025-03-08(A) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba Russian winVery nice scenario. A smart defensive play from Serge and the Germans fell short of some buildings in the last turn. AT mines were deadly and Russian AFV were unbreakable !
2024-03-04(A) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna Russian win
2023-07-28(D) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker Russian winGreat scenario. Meaty, lots of options for the defender to really push the Germans into having to work to win the game, despite the attacking force being superior. Our game came down to the last movement phase and we'd both felt like we'd lost, because it was that tough on both of us!
2022-02-07(A) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall Russian winUsed an inferior approach as the Germans.
2021-12-02(A) Michael Rodgers vs Rich Vieira Russian winThe Russians defending the hill woods mass strongly, which delayed my Germans too much to take the town.
2021-09-17(D) Simon Staniforth vs German winFirst recorded playing of this one from the recent HazMo pack, seems well balanced with the Germans winning in T8 of our playing and fun to play a larger scenario. The Russians weren’t able to delay the Germans quite enough on the hill / getting into the village. Also overall a few too many break / ELR / Disrupt results whereas the Germans when broke were able to Rally back and stay in the fight. Would happily play again with a tweaked setup
2021-09-17(A) Ian Morris vs Simon Staniforth German winThe Germans look strong in this, but the dual victory Conditions make it a close game. My opponent is too charitable to mention that I diced him with some extremely lucky rolls at key times, allowing me to neutralise his best units. Would definitely play this again.
