Overview:

SS Panzergrenadier Division 1 launched its initial Operation Citadel attack up the main road toward Bykovka. The attack ran directly into prepared positions of the 151st Guards Rifle Regiment. Elements began to penetrate the first positions and race toward Bykovka. The 28th Antitank Artillery Brigade had established strong points throughout and north of the infantry positions along the main road. The guns cracked along with the piercing sounds of antitank rifles and machineguns.

2024-04-22(D) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd Russian winThe Russian were able to score two CHs, one on a Tiger preventing the SS from getting enough points exited. Though they were able to eliminate two guns and the 9-2 leader died in CC. One Tiger bogged in a trench trying to exit. A fun scenario with lots of action.

2021-04-03(A) Will Willow vs Jeff Waldon Russian win
2021-02-27(D) Vilis Pavulans vs David Garvin Russian winA fun and interesting game against David who is a fantastic opponent. A lucky placement of the russian Guns turned out to be key. Most of the lighter, german AFVs got punched out early and the german smoke laying capability along with them. Mid game all the lighter AFVs were gone and the infantry were advancing slower. Then, both Tigers came driving and parked right in front of a HiPed Gun and managed to halt one of them be deliberate immobilisation. in the penultimate turn the last russian gun unconcealed, turned three hexspines and fired into a moving Tigers behind. The rolled snakes bit the butt of that Tiger and the germans had no chance of getting their VPs. It was time to call it.
