Overview:

The Soviet advance during their summer offensive was rapid and, combined with Hitler's "No Retreat" order, led to many German units becoming trapped inside cities. At Vilnius, remnants of two German regiments under the command of Luftwaffe Major-General Rainer Stahel battled encircling forces from the 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps. In response, two German Kampfgruppen were formed primarily from Panzer-Division 6 and Panzer-Regiment "Grossdeutschland." After rounding up the Lithuanian partisans, one of the Kampfgruppen, led by Major Walter Pössl, began to open a 50-kilometer escape route for the Germans in Vilnius. As the Germans began to pull out of Vilnius, the 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps counterattacked.

we called it a draw due to running lateMy russians had 8 of the buildings at the time
2024-10-01(A) Michael Augustine vs Rich Domovic Russian win0.08 hrsRussians got early momentum by executing a successful Turn 1 Human Wave. There were various swings back and forth throughout the game, but the Russians carried the day with a little extra to spare. Sgt Rock comic book event was a DC toting 9-1 leader ran into an adjacent open ground adjacent to the Marder (that was out of HE). A nearby infantry fired, and the 9-1 HOB'd to a heroic 9-2. The Marder fired its BMG and broke it. It then fired AP 3 times at it for no effect. The leader placed the DC poorly (no attack on the Marder itself), but the Specific Collateral Attack resulted in a 1KIA (STUN) on the crew.

2024-02-07(A) Andy Beaton vs Jim Fardette Russian winGerman armour was outgunned by the Russians which put the Germans on the back foot - the Russian tanks stayed at 3 range and blasted the Germans out of the village. Hot dice aided the Russians and cold dice hindered the Germans ability to rally the brokies.
