Overview:

With Kampfgruppe Frank mired in a minefield and bogged down in hand-to-hand fighting, Oberstleutnant Heinz-Werner Frank became concerned that the bridge over the Gniloi Tikich was wired for demolition. However, the objective still stood. He was well aware that it would take too much time to build a new bridge if they were to save the entrapped forces in the Korsun Pocket. While a bridge had been captured the day before at the hamlet of Frankovka, it did not appear heavy enough to carry their Tigers across. Leadership knew that any crossing was going to include this bridge most especially if the needed armor was to be part of the breakout.

2024-08-31(D) Michael Augustine vs Gary Bartlett Russian winThe scenario has a nice map and forces for both sides. One of the SSRs has a modified falling snow rule that would naturally have a higher likelihood of falling or heavy falling snow around mid-game. I immediately commented that falling snow favors the attacker, and hoped that the Germans would not get it. Well, my wish came true - falling snow never happened. This gave my Russian plenty of -1/-2 shots through the rather large gaps between buildings. Toss in that the German smoke discharges never went off, and Germans attacking on a narrow front, and the game was essentially over at about turn 3. Wild desperate charging for the victory bridge the last 2 turns were unfruitful. Russians won handily.
