Overview:

In the town of Shklov, the German advance was frustrated by the determined defense of a handful of young Soviets. Skillfully using every advantage, the young officer cadets, known as “Stalin Scholars”, were able to beat back the advance of the regular German forces. In order to break the deadlock the Germans ordered the crack Infantry Regiment “Grossdeutschland” to clear the town.

2024-01-28(A) Bob McKenna vs Bob Trufanno Russian winThis was a great learning scenario. One of my first Full ASL scenarios. The Russians managed to hold the buildings, running upstairs to the second floor in two of the 5 buildings. One CC was won by Russuans rolling a 2. The scenario was fun, not long and had some armor. Learned a few things. Bob Trufano is a great teacher and we enjoyed the battle. Looking forward to more battles at J&D on 3/3
2023-09-06(D) Craig Renier vs Jim Vasilou German winThe Germans ordnance smoke and smoke dispensers were used with great effect, failing only once. Russian defensive fire was ineffective from beginning to end. But, the Russians were able to manage to maintain a defensive line, relying solely on the commissar to rally the many broken squads. The Germans made one mistake which cost a broken 10-3 and 3 MMCs, but this was very late in the game. For the first 2 turns the Russians averaged 7.43 IFT garning 1 German MC, which was easily passed. For the last 4 turns the Germans average rolls were 6.29, 5.61 on IFT while the Russians averaged 7.88, 7.67 on MC and 8.12 on IFT. Despite the huge difference between rolls, the Russians somehow managed to hold out until the German Turn 6 CC phase.
