Overview:

Fighting had raged up and down the Minsk-Vilnius highway for over a week between Molodechno and Smorgon. Confronted with the collapse of Army Group Center and the imminent loss of Minsk, Hitler sacked Field Marshal Busch and allowed Model to release the 5th Panzer Division from Army Group North to try to stem the drive of the 5th Guards Tank Army to Vilnius. Backed by the Tigers of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 595, the division’s job was to hold the highway open in order for Army Group Center to escape encirclement and regroup behind Vilnius. The Tigers, fighting alongside the 5th’s Panthers, made a good account of themselves despite both marshy terrain and marauding Sturmoviks.
Attacker: Russian (3rd Guards Tank Corps)
Defender: German (Panzergrenadier Regiment 13, Panzer Division 5/Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505)

2018-09-21(D) Jeff B vs Steve Etzelmueller Russian winTake away the Russian air and this would be a good scenario. With it the Germans have no ability to reposition Turn 4 and later and their tanks are sitting ducks. It's only a matter of time...
2013-02-15(A) nathan wegener vs Albert W German winDidn't make it to the end but with no armor left mid-game for the Ruskies it looked bleak.
2011-10-16(A) Alan Peterson vs Lee Thornton Russian win
2011-08-20(D) Vic Lauterbach vs MA Russian winCVP totals at end of GT6 were Russians 35, Germans 42. Russians held bridge 13K6 and all multi-hex buildings except J2/K3 which was contested. OT-34 and ISU-122 were big factors. Another classic East Front clash!
2011-08-01(A) X von Marwitz vs Martin Mayers German win
