Overview:
The men of the 35th Infantry Division were exhausted after their long trek across Russia. First mud, the severe winter weather, then stiffening defenses had blunted the spearhead of Operation Typhoon’s drive to Moscow. Now, with the spires of the Kremlin in sight of the invader, the Russian defenders were pulling out all the stops. Red Army officers organized local factory workers, supported by ad hoc armor elements, to drive the Germans back from the outskirts of the capital. General Winter once again took control, gripping the aggressors tightly. This would be as far as the Wehrmacht would get.Attacker: German (Pioniere Bataillon)
Defender: Russian (Red Army Officers and Khimki Factory workers/Ad Hoc Armor Support)

| 2021-03-04 | (A) Shane Pask | vs | German win | I had considered an attack on one of the factories before the game started but quickly changed my mind. The game ebbed and flowed with the Russians considering conceding around turn 4 - both of their tanks MA malfed on turn 2 with one immediately disabled. The only MOL the Russians tried was available but unsuccessful landing back on the thrower. Turn 5 the second T35 fixed its main gun and immediately killed my 9-1, hero and broke my fanatic MMG squad. This let the Russians grab the required number of buildings - just. On the last turn I only needed to recover one building which I did for a close win! The snipers did not like the cold. Despite many SAN rolls, the Russian stayed indoors with a bottle of vodka and mine fired 2 shots - one pinned a broken squad (ie no effect) and the other shot the only Russian leader in the head. With only the Commissar to rally troops (and shooting many of them as cowards) I soon collected a lot of prisoners. I think the Russians are actually the attacker in this scenario. | |||
