Overview:

As the weight of the German attack on the fortified locality of Syrtsevo increased, the Soviet defense began to crumble. The surviving Soviet units pulled out of the line across the river Pena, leaving Syrtsevo to the Germans. With the bulk of Grossdeutschland mopping up the fortifications in and around Syrtsevo, the division’s reconnaissance battalion was tasked with continuing north and, taking advantage of the confusion, holding a corridor open to the town of Verkhoppenye – where a bridge across the Pena was still intact.

Attacker: German (Grossdeutschland Division's Reconnaissance and Assault Gun Battalions)

Defender: Russian (III Motorizied Corps and Reinforcing Tank Brigade)

2016-12-03	(D) Tom Kearney	vs	Walt McWilliams	German win	Very close.
2016-12-03	(A) walter mcwilliams	vs	Tom Kearney	German win	This beloved classic has been on my playlist for quite sometime, and when and old friend of mine Tom Kerney called me up and suggested we play this one, there was no way I was going to turn him down. I've let to much time pass between the playing and this writing to give a blow-by-blow account, but the scenario live up to it's reputation with Tom loosing by just four VP. In our post battle discussion Tom complemented me on my use of smoke and I think it's key, I used every available type including vehicular smoke grenades, which is a crap shoot at best. Tom's defense was excellent, but the dice on morale checks in the center woods were not kind to him and he was maybe to aggressive with the T34's. Be that as it may, it was a nail-biter and I highly recommend this scenario if you haven't given it a shot yet.
2014-10-28	(A) Richard Carter	vs	Dave Clemons	German win	Very fun scenario. Initial attack is a blitz into a town to try to secure a crossroads. Followed by counter attack. I was able to get in position quickly and interdict the reinforcements.
2012-09-05	(A) X von Marwitz	vs	Martin Mayers	Russian win	Cannot remember scenario rating, so put "Average".
1996-05-07	(D) Rich Weiley	vs	Simon Mugford	Russian win
