German (SS)Russian

Overview:

The II SS Panzer Corps had made good progress into the heart of the 6th Guards Army defenses. General Vatutin ordered the 5th Guards Tank Corp to prepare to meet this threat. The Russian “counterattack” was not successful in blocking the Germans, but prevented them from exploiting the penetration. The 51st Guards Rifle Division suffered heavily, and was forced into defensive positions around Bolshoi-Majatschki and Iakovlevo. The 1st Battalion, SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 1 was ordered to attack to the west to seize the two towns.

Attacker: German (SS) (Battalion I, SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 1, SS Panzergrenadier Division 1)

Defender: Russian (51st Guards Rifle Division)

2020-09-03	(D) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås	vs	Terje	German (SS) win	The Germans attacked straight into the village with a flanking force to the right. The StuGs played it very carefully to avoid being caught by the AT which was placed on the German left flank. The enormous infantry firepower overwhelmed the defenders.
2020-05-28	(D) Rob MacGinley	vs	Ian Willey	German (SS) win	A simple village attack - rolls went Ian's way so he pushed me out of the village methodically - Good simple Village defence game - may use as a teaching game
2020-03-08	(D) Paul Legg	vs	Mark Blackmore	Russian win	Heroes 2020 - A pick up game for Mark whilst he sobered up from the night before.
