Overview:
As the Russian front spread with each German success, vast gaps were left in the main line. These gaps proved to be perfect avenues of approach for the far-ranging Russian cavalry. One such daring group, the 1st Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Division, rode deep behind enemy lines to the main depot of the 6th Army, near the town of Korosten. Waiting until twilight, they drew their sabres and came sweeping across the steppes like the Cossacks of old.Attacker: Russian (1st Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Division)
Defender: German (VI Armee/Infanterie Division 16 (Mot.))

| 2021-10-21 | (A) nathan wegener | vs | Dave Mareske | German win | Initial cavalry attack suffered heavy losses. I had just enough CVP to start exiting but needed to get everyone off and could not stay far enough away from the reinforcements. Highlight for me was capturing the AC and using it to whack a squad while driving off the map. | ||
| 2021-10-21 | (D) Dave Mareske | vs | Nathan Wegener | German win | This was a fun scenario. A good learning one for cavalry and halftrack overruns. The Russians lost a lot in the initial attack with some good DRs and even though the Russians captured the Armored Car they did not get enough off the board to seal the win. | ||
| 2021-06-09 | (A) Kevin Duval | vs | Dwayne Duval | German win | Used German balance. I was too slow getting my Russians into position which allowed Germans to recombine into squads which then proceeded to give as much as they were taking. Excellent use of German vehicles to prevent routing & keep placing DM was too much for the Russians. It was a debacle, just not for the side I had hoped! | ||
