Overview:

The Soviets ordered a counterattack on the right flank of the German salient with an overall objective of taking Dubno. The Russians made some good progress attacking from the south to cutoff the Germans. The 16th Panzer Division managed to wedge itself into the various gaps created and the Russian mobile forces soon encountered fierce anti-tank resistance. Around Tarnovka, 88mm guns destroyed the enemy in the forests. Then the infantry from 11th Battalion of Infantrie-Regiment 64 formed a pincer to take Tarnovka from multiple directions. A Russian tank-based counterattack followed shortly, pushing Infantrie-Regiment 64 back to its starting positions. Tarnovka shook from exploding antitank grenades, houses catching on fire, and all available weaponry sent to destroy the tanks. Unfortunately, the 50mm anti-tank gun was ineffective even at less than 400 meters against the heavier Russian tanks. However, a heavy infantry gun took out two medium tanks and one of the 8.8cm antiaircraft guns destroyed four tanks. When the attack was repelled, the wrecks of 22 tanks could be counted on the battlefield.

2026-05-07(A) Jeff B vs Steve Etzelmueller Russian winI sent about 1/4 of my troops through the western woods with two tanks, 2/3 up the middle with the KV to take the first building, and the remaining to tanks and riders swinging around in the east through the wooded road. Turn 2 saw these guys drive up and unload behind the woods, their main purpose being to make sure the brushy hill was clear of guns. My boys in the west crept stealthily across the open field while the tanks drove slowly through the light trees. In the center they continued to pressure the stone building while sending tendrils to check out the next hill. Some wind had kicked up but I didn't expect this to come into play. Turn 3 saw me clear the 2nd level hill (in the process spotting a concealed gun at the crossroads), while his buddy made his way to the woods west of the hill where some Germans had pulled back a couple units to protect. He was definitely hiding something there. My men in the west made their break toward the field and orchard to start to clear the way for the tanks, while the first building was finally captured and some lovely German prisoners rounded up. These would come in handy in multiplying the troops for the inevitable human wave. By the end of Turn 4 my men in the west had cleared most of the concealment terrain, the ones up north most of the woods, while those in the center set up for a human wave to assault the rowhouse. Still only the one gun had been spotted, and that one was yet a mystery (though suspected to be the 88L). So this brought us to the last half of the turn, with the human wave not quite taking the building, and the tanks all driving into VC position and staying in motion. I was correct about the 88L, which did its share of damage before overheating. The INF gun was just down the road from it, protecting the rowhouse. While the 50L was in one of the few patches of woods just north of the road I hadn't been able to clear. It was a disappointment when it only managed to knock out one T34, before overheating to IF. Some endgame shenanigans by the Germans saw a DC placement and numerous CCs vs the AFVs fail, and the final count was 5VP for the Russians. had expected this game to be cat-and-mouse, but it was much more boring than anticipated as it was way too much of a bug hunt, with the end feeling gamey. I knew, unless I wanted to risk an early suicidal human wave, that taking the buildings would not be an option, and thus the plan from the start was to protect the tanks and just drive them all into the VC area on the last turn. This one would be much more interesting to play as the defender and, despite the Russians so far being favored, I'd want the Germans every time.

2025-12-06(A) nathan wegener vs Wes Vaughn German winTook the front stone building and kept the T34s out of sight as much as possible to swing around behind. Had all 4 of them in position but the 88 tagged one on an IF shot and a DC got another last 1/2 turn. Great game.
