Overview:

Two things were becoming clear by mid-morning of 8 July. The first was that Soviet counterattacks were uncoordinated and mostly unsuccessful in spite of the voluminous artillery support. The second was that the attacks would continue due to 13th Army Commander Lt. General Nikolai Pukhov's seemingly limitless supply of men and ammunition. With all the Ferdinands down for a "recovery day" and grinding through mine-filled farm fields far too slow a process for his tastes, Generaloberst Walter Model reasoned that the best way to capture Ponyri quickly was with a quick assault on the town itself. Oberst Hans Hahne's Grenadier-Regiment 507 was ordered into the breach once more.

2025-06-07	(A) Fred Jordan	vs	Walter Fox	Russian win	As the Germans, I attacked straight on with some supporting outflanking elements on my right flank. The sappers did a fantastic jog getting rid of the wire used to protect the center of the Russian line. On turn 3, it looked like the Germans were on a roll with the Russian center is disarray and two Russian AFVs destroyed. However, the progression in the congested area of the strain station slowed down. One Stug got destroyed and the other one got recalled after disabling its MA. In the end, the Germans controlled the train station as well as most of the area around the water tower but fell short of destroying the remnants of the Russian defense (including a concealed gun). Overall, a very entertaining scenario.
2025-05-11	(D) Eric Partizan Eric	vs		Russian win
2025-04-25	(A) walter mcwilliams	vs	Tony Hutton	Russian win	A grind for bothsides. Tony's Russians seemed invinciple to German firepower as they passed numerous 2MC. In the end I feel short, Thinking this a bit difficult for Germans however, I baddly managed my left flank supporting attack and it failed to turn the flank an pressure ther Germans from two angles.
