Overview:
By mid-September, Army Group North had been stopped short of its goal of the capture of Leningrad. What they had been unable to achieve by force, they now hoped to accomplish by starving the city out. Leningrad was entirely cut off except for the Lake Lagoda route. The only real relief possible would have to be some breach of the land blockade. During the month of September, Russian troops fought furiously to crack the blockade. To the south, in the area of Starays-Russa/Demyansk, the Red Army planned to break through the German defenders and swing north to hit the flanks of the German armies assaulting Leningrad. In the villages of Kirilovschina, Grutiki, Chilkovo, and Lushno, the soldiers of the Totenkopf were about to face this Red onslaught.Attacker: Russian (34th Soviet Army)
Defender: German (SS) (SS-Bataillon 2, SS-Division 3 "Totenkopf")

| 2023-10-06 | (D) Kevin Duval | vs | Dwayne Duval | A | German (SS) win | German HMG went on a rate of fire tear as the Russian Human Wave was mowed down in Turn 2. Not enough Russians units left to fullfill VC. | |
| 2023-03-05 | (D) Ric Hammond | vs | Don Nordoff | German (SS) win | Was over by Turn 4. Two human waves repulsed on turn 1. Broken and reduced Russians all over the place. | ||
| 2022-03-11 | (D) Dave Mareske | vs | Craig Renier | German (SS) win | Tried this again with Craig switching sides. The Russians crept forward on turn 1, but were not set up right for a Human Wave, which might have changed things. Even so, they were able to get into a couple of CCs. However, those Melees lasted too long and eventually made exiting not a viable option. Loosing one of the tanks to MG fire also made exiting improbable. Turning their attention to getting the buildings then, the Russians were slightly out of position and the HMG made short work of anyone that tried to creep out on the road. | ||
