Overview:
The bridgehead position at Graudenz was declared a fortress on 27 January 1945. The fortress defense was manned by the remaining elements of Division Hermann Goring, as well as various other Wehrmancht, Luftwaffe, police and Fortress units. The Russians relentlessly pressed the attack, inflicting staggering casualties on the defenders. By February 22nd, very few artillery and anti-tank guns remained functioning within the fortress. There were, however, still a large number of dangerous flak guns. In an attempt to remove these threats, the Russians resumed the attack the following morning reinforced by armor and supported by fire from nearly an entire artillery division.Attacker: Russian (37th Guards Infantry Division)
Defender: German (2nd Regiment, Hermann Göring Training and Replacement Brigade)

| 2024-03-14 | (D) Andy Bagley | vs | Mike Grogan | German win | I reckon this is a tough one for the Russians unless they can get their artillery to land. Unfortunately they couldn't in this game, through a combination of difficult LOSs (it's hard for the leader with the radio to get a good position) and unlucky chit draws. My German sniper also had a really good game, killing one Russian leader, wounding another and breaking several squads. I also packed the smaller factor with dummies and lower-strength units, leaving my elite to guard the larger factory, surrounded by mines and wire. Sure enough, the Russians took the smaller factory, but with insufficient time to move some of their best units across to the other factory. In the end, with most of their tanks falling to panzerfaust shots, they were left with insufficient forces to take the larger factory. | ||

| 2022-12-18 | (D) Kevin Duval | vs | Dwayne Duval | German win | Used Russian balance. Germans drew attackers to larger building & kept them tied up there long enough to concentrate defense around other VC building. By the time Russians gathered for final push they were too ground down with zero Leaders left. Never set foot in the final objective. | ||
| 2022-02-20 | (A) Stefan Fiedler | vs | Christoffer Strand | Russian win | Fun Scenario. Russian had a hard time to get the steamroller going, especially with the radio X:ng out wih no shots fired, but when the defense of the western factory was opened up by a timely 122mm hit and the russian started to make their morale checks things opened up by T2-T3. A smoke combo with tanks driving into the factory cracked the first VC by end of T4. The flakvierling was placed in between the factories an dealuyed lateral movement to factory 2 but a smoke and a dashing hs killed the crew and opened up the middle. Then the tanks swarmed factory2 which had no leaders left due to sniper kill of the lone leader there. Tnaks in the back prevented rout and heavy fire from the forn tmade the German player to throe in the towel and give up. Fun scenario but Russian must keep his timetable in mind so that forces can divert from factory 1 to factory 2. Germans shoudl strive to delay and hinder lateral movements. |
