Overview:

After Christmas, the retreating Gruppo Nord finally made it to the town of Chertkovo, where an Italo-German garrison took them in and provided them much needed fuel and supplies. However, Gruppe Nord was in no condition to continue. They waited for rescue by German units trying to beak through the encirclement. The Soviets launched a major attack to eliminate the survivors of Gruppo Nord. . .

2024-02-18(D) Louis Langdeau vs Lee M Russian winOverdeployed near the East factory, including two guns and an ATR guarding the North edge of Board 22. Lee forced his way straight through the front door, with all his troops swarming my poor quality Italians. I brought in all the additional Italians and the PzIVF2s as my reinforcement groups. When Lee pushed up on Turn 2, I revealed a hidden 50L to take out one of his T70s. I was in posiition to take out another T70, and possibley a T34, with my IVF2s coming on board. Unfortunately, Lee rolled two crits, once with a T34 on the Pz, and once with an ATR on the 50L. With those two gone, and my terrible deployment, I ended up trying to barely hold on with my fingernails. I got pretty lucky with some CCs, getting a couple 3s and a 2, but it wasn't enough. Eventually, I tried to make a play to pull back one side by rushing my last tank around behind a T34, but a thrown DC from one of Lee's squad ended my day.

Not sure if I liked this one that much. It's decent, but nothing in it makes me super excited to play again. All told, still a good scenario, just nothing overlyu notable apart from the pick-your-own reinforcements.
2022-08-23(D) Ken Rutkowski vs Bill Thomson Italian / German win
2022-07-13(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Federico Corso Italian / German winMy quickest game ever. It was all over on the first movement phase.
My opponent, knowing me too well, set a trap that worked like a charm.
he rolled 3-2-4 = 1KIA - 2KIA -1KIA
I was down 4 squad and my northern pincer was cut to pieces and more important 4 of my AFV were freezing italians with no infantry to support.
It was a well deserved victory for Fred, who for one time had the good rolls to reinforce his excellent play, I gladly conceded.
2021-12-06(A) Asad Rustum vs Jacob Elmqvist Italian / German win
2021-06-25(D) Macari Samuel vs Robin Reeve Italian / German winRussians conceded after the loss of a T34 and the stopping of a malfed one near the Axis Guns. Until there, it was a very tense game.
