FINALLY got round to gaming again. Last game was July 29 and was too busy to get anything done since then. Prepping a house for sale (and getting rid of the accumulated stuff in it) can do that for you. Getting Covid and being knocked out for two weeks didn't help either.
The scenario is slanted towards the Germans (and I was the German player) so the German win didn't feel like one.

| The Germans had FOUR Tiger tanks enter on turn 4. The Russians most likely have to capture all the multi-hex buildings before that but the Russian player this time waited till after the German reinforcements came on to go for the final building down near the bottom center of the map. By this time Germans troops were there in force with Tigers to take out the enemy tanks. Due to some misses with the Tigers and attempts at IF shots, one of which was boxcars and the other an 11, the Germans were down to two functional tanks. I really did not need to bother since the Russians could not kill a Tiger to save their lives (literally). One Tiger was taken out by the Russians but in exchange two Russian tanks were as well. Then the remaining German tank with functional MA killed two Russians (yup, the IF worked that time). This left it at one Tiger with MA and another with MA malfed but not gone yet versus two Russian tanks, one of which was stuck in Melee with a German squad due to being immobilized in CC. Infantry wise the Germans had more troops and better leadership and did not have to move to get the win. So the Russians conceeded. |
