Overview:
After failing to halt the onslaught of Bagramyan’s 1st Baltic Front, scattered units of Grossdeutshcland Division were ordered to fall back to the northwest and regroup. One evening during the course of this retreat, some 300 of its men were surprised by a cautiously advancing Russian infantry regiment. After a short firefight, the Russians proceeded to dig in for the night, and initiated their renewed attack at dawn by advancing a column of tanks from a newly-arrived armored unit. The Germans, however, spotting the tanks, immediately withdrew, leaving only a small delaying force to cover their retreat. Armed with panzerschrecks, the rearguard set up three ambush points. Straight into them rumbled the tank column, without supporting infantry. . .Attacker: Russian (5th Guards Tank Army)
Defender: German (Panzergrenadier Division Grossdeutschland)

| 2025-03-12 | (D) Stephane Nolet | vs | Gabriel Nolet | German win | 3.13 hrs | My Russian opponent when straight for the objective to run across the battlefield, but whit HIP German handling Panzerfaust it proved to be a deadly run for the Russians. I chose to hide my German Units early between row R and row X, this would allow early contact to surprise the Russian four T-34/85 and three ISU-122 coming my way. By the ned of turn 2 The German had already eliminated two T-34/85 and one ISU-122 and only suffered a Casualty elimination upon a Boxcar Rallying DR. On turn 3 another T-34/85 lost it's Main Gun to breakdown, and one of the two remaining got stun and recalled by a nice Sniper headshot. Russian were already taking a heavy toll while a German half-squad became fanatic. On Turn 4 this German Fanatic HS received a Critical HE hit with 34 FP from a T-34/85 in the Prep Fire phase and resisted a 4MC to only get pinned. The T-34/85 ROF 3 additional times only to get nothing out of it. I love those Fanatice high morale units. On the same turn the Only Remaining ISU-122 breaks it's Main Armement. On turn 5, My hero team with the 9-2 Leader destroyed another T-34/85 with a front hull hit creating a fourth Burning wreck on the battlefield. Later on turn 5 The recalled ISU-122 left the battlefield leaving only another ISU-122 with disabled Main Armement and one T-34/85 to go for the remaining Goog Order German unit scaterred arond the battlefield. On turn 6 the Russian exited their first AFV and it was still possile to tie the game with elimination of 5 other German units , but turn 6 was theswan song for the Russian as a Leader creation from field promotion DR added another German leader. Final score Germany 5 Russia 2 | |
