Overview:

Kampfgruppe Haack was a scratch organization of units hastily assembled to guard the left flank of VIII Armee. Urlauber Regiment Baake provided the infantry strength of the kampfgruppe. Comprised of escapees from units encircled in the Cherkassy pocket and troops recalled from leave, hastily organized into platoons and companies, the regiment lacked heavy weapons. In addition to guarding the flank of VIII Armee, the overextended kampfgruppe was ordered to establish contact with the right flank of III Panzer Korps, which was attempting to relieve the troops trapped in the Cherkassy Pocket. Directly in Kampfgruppe Haack's path was the Russian 325th Rifle Division, entrenched on Hill 204.8.
Attacker: German (Elements of Urlauber Regiment Baake, Panzer-Division 11 and Bataillon II., Pz.Art. Rgt. 119)
Defender: Russian (Elements of the 325th Rifle Division and Anti-Tank Battery)

2021-11-20(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winDan's Germans struggled a bit on Turns 1 and 2. Russians broke two AT Guns and Dan broke a German HMG. But the Germans then swept up on the hill and moved in for the kill on the reverse slope Russians. It was downhill (hahhahaa) from there as the Russians were tumbled out of their positions for a German victory.
2021-07-20(A) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger German winThe luck went back and forth in this one, first Russian, then Germans, then Russians and finally some key German shots to seal the win. I think the scenario probably favours the Germans though, as they have plenty of time, powerful OBA and several MGs to form kill stacks. Not to mention the OP tank which can fire with significant advantages as well as direct the OBA (see scenario errata). I used this plus the kill-stacks to basically blast the Russians off the hilltops, while the infantry came round in a pincer movement and managed to control three of the victory hill hexes fairly comfortably.
