Overview:

As the Russian 1st Belorussian Front reached the Oder river, units of the newly-formed Heeresgruppe Weichsel were issued their marching orders. Himmler's order number 831 reached no-one less than the infamous Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny, in charge of the SS-Jagdverbände. Skorzeny was to form a bridgehead east of the Oder large enough to fit retreating units - all in preperation of a counter offensive. The Russians soon realized the danger of the bridgehead and its intact bridge, and it was repeatedly attacked.

2024-05-21(A) Andy Bagley vs Mike Grogan Russian winInteresting and enjoyable scenario. As the Russians, I concentrated my attack on the southern flank, and as expected the Germans executed a controlled fighting withdrawal - though they were unlucky to lose a couple of squads in the process. I captured the required buildings without too much trouble, but the bridge was a tougher proposition. On the final turn, I smoked the victory hexes as much as I could, then risked a couple of AFVs (successfully) to overrun key defensive positions; I then had a fanatic squad that was able to withstand the remaining German firepower to take the bridge hexes. So I probably had the better of the luck in what I rate as a well-balanced scenario.
