Overview:

In February, seven Soviet Armies encircled the German 4th Army, which included the Hermann Goring Parachute-Panzer Corps, in the Heiligenbeil Pocket. The pocket contained 120,000 combat and 30,000 support troops, which could now only be supplied by sea. Ground activity decreased at the beginning of March, but Russian aircraft still attacked soldiers and civilians alike. The HG Parachute-Panzer Corps contained the HG 2nd Parachute-Panzergrenadier, the Grossdeutschland Panzergrenadier, and the 562nd Volksgrenadier Divisions. The Corps was responsible for the defense of the northern sector of the line where, beginning on 13 March, the Soviets launched a series of heavy assaults.
Attacker: Russian (28th Army, 3rd Belorussian Front)

2024-05-13(D) Eben Johnson vs Russian German winWow. This was back-and-forth the whole game. I made a couple of tactical mistakes, and I learned about upper-floor encirclement (when all the downstairs are blocked).

The key was to remember that I should never give up until there's no mathematical hope. Case in point: In our first game turn, his sniper killed both of my leaders and broke the units they were with. Tough. Yet, with delaying, careful moving, and uncharacteristically favorable rolls for me (DR averages of 6.85 vs. 7.45, respectively), I ran out the clock and won the scenario.

Fun round and a fun, patient, helpful opponent. Cheers
