ASL Scenario VotG-12: Siberian Shockwave (Game Day 2)

 Game day 2 of playing Siberian Shockwave today.  We were ready for a meaty scenario after a lot of medium or small ones.  My Russians vs Tycho's Germans.






Picking up where we left off.  My arty should have been smoke last turn, my 81mm mortar got off one smoke shot and then malfed.  I need that smoke - maybe it can be repaired.

End of Russian turn 2 and the Mortar is gone after rolling a 6 to repair it.  Not good.  The Russians do start making progress on the southern push to take the docks.  The Germans have not gotten a stuka yet (33% chance each turn, they auto get one every third turn if they did not get one in previous two).  I also have a Russian unit in DD27.

ASL Scenario VotG-12: Siberian Shockwave (Game Day 1)

 Started playing Siberian Shockwave today.  We were ready for a meaty scenario after a lot of medium or small ones.  My Russians vs Tycho's Germans.


The start of the game.  The Russians have to hold all the docks at game end or hold 5 of them and have gotten 20CVP off the board.  CVP count double exiting off the south or west edges (Opinion - if the Russians can get units off the west edge the Germans lost BADLY already).  



End of turn 1.  I made a HUGE mistake by dropping the arty as HE instead of smoke.  My Russians have made no progress heading south toward the docks and have taken lumps getting into the buildings in the west.
