As the drive on Moscow slowed due to supply problems and general winter, STAVKA was given time to deploy fresh troops from other fronts. The 78th Infantry, Siberian veterans of the Mongolian frontier, were transferred 6000 miles to use skillful ambushes and delaying tactics to slow the panzer’s march on Moscow. Near the River Istra, they were finally ordered to halt and fight. The snow-covered fields and the medieval town of Istra itself would become a battlefield for several weeks. On 26th November, the 78th was renamed the “9th Guards Infantry”, but needed no special titles to display élan or heroism. Squeezing out of the pincers formed by 10th Panzer Division and 2nd SS “Das Reich”, the “marvelous Siberians” would regroup and launch a counterattack to retake the historic town.
Attacker: Russian (9th Guards Infantry Division)
Defender: German (SS) (2nd SS Division "Das Reich")

Honour to an heroic german MMC, barely invincible (or only very lucky). Reduced after two melee rounds against a russian MMC, then survived two more melee rounds against 3 russian MMC, fallen on the last turn melee.

I was losing pretty badly the whole game but i bounced back last turn making my oponent lose and she conceded. I really enjoyed this game and it was one of my better games. Underrated scenario that should have way more plays if i have to be honest!
