Overview:

Late in August the Germans had managed to grab two bridgeheads across the Lojnja River near Bolotina. The Soviet 19th Army counterattacked these positions, and the 38th Rifle Division retook 2 square kilometers of the bridgehead. The Russians then dug-in around a brush-covered wooded area. The 7th Panzer Division sent Schützen-Regiment 7 and its attached Flammpanzers to root out this tough node of resistance.
Attacker: German (Bataillon I., Schützen-Regiment 7, Panzer-Division 7 and Panzerabteilung Flamm (101))

2026-11-01(A) S. Slunt vs Rob Oler German winGood game with a good opponent. Slow progressive put by the German forced the Russian back. Using the Flamethrower tanks to good effect and forced failure to right
It came down to the last Russian CC phase where the Russians were eliminated
2026-09-03(A) Johan Vrijdaghs vs Adrian Carter Russian win
2026-08-01(D) Grant Hewitt vs Lee Hyde Russian winI thoroughly enjoyed this scenario, probably aided by good dice on my behalf that helped me see off all but one of the AFVs in the first half of the game with the Russian anti-tank gun. My Russians were dispersed in the woods running through the center of the set-up area and held on just long enough to enable a final retreat away from the advancing Germans in turn 5. The game turned on my conscripts breaking some German units in the final Defensive Fire phase in German turn 6 that helped stave off the prospect of close combat and then smoke hindrance from a burning PzIII helped enough units to stay in good order after fire in the Advance Fire Phase. Great scenario with excellent re-playability options.
