Overview:

As the Soviet offensive of 1944 swept through Belorussia, it soon reached the borders of Poland and the Baltic countries. On August 1, the 3rd Russian Mechanized corps of the 51st Army broke through the weakly held German defense lines between Aux and Mitau. The Russians quickly overcame the scattered German delaying units and reached the town of Tuckum, just a few kilometers away from the Gulf of Riga. There they met a counterattacking German emergency combat unit, SS Panzer Brigade Gross, consisting of two weak tank companies made up of old PzIII and IV tanks, the 103rd Heavy Tank Battalion (Tiger tanks) with panzergrenadier support plus the adhoc 1st SS Armored Recon battalion.

2023-06-29(A) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås vs MichaelA Russian winI had a great game of WCW7 Eye of the Tiger in the VASL League against Michael Hastrup-Leth, attacking as the Germans with German balance. Prinz Eugen rubbled two buildings so I had to take 5 of the remaining 8. The attack in the middle went well, but my right flank was stopped at the walls. A very brave fanatic 6-5-8 almost got over the road on the left flank, but got pinned by the last crucial shot. My lone surviving AFV (the tiger) burnt one T34 and killed another, leaving the vehicle crew to retake one Building in the last russian movement phase for the win. Tight, fun game, well chosen scenario by my opponent, and I had a great time. Well played Michael.

2022-02-03(A) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'Archeveque German (SS) winWhat started off as a normal game went south when the Russian dice went super cold in the second half. Earlier, the Tiger went down to an IF side shot from the AT gun and an AC was eliminated by an ATR, but no other vehicles died. The "naval" OBA took out two squads.
