Overview:
Kalinin fell to the Germans in the early winter of 1941. By late November, the German formations were on their last legs. The bitter cold and incessant counterattacks had taken their toll. Into this situation flew pilot Hans Ulrich Rudel piloting a Stuka, instantly recognizable by the two long vertical bars painted on its tail. As he landed on the outskirts of Kalinin, tank shells started to fall on the runway. The Soviets were attacking the thin screen of infantry covering the approaches to the airfield. In a flash, Rudel was back in the air, accompanied by HS-123 fighter bombers, determined to stop the Russians before they could overrun his base.Attacker: Russian (30th Army)
Defender: German (161st Infantry Division)

| 2025-02-06 | (D) Stephane Nolet | vs | Gabriel Nolet | German win | 4.33 hrs | This scenario helped us learn the Air support and Light AA fire rules. The German won with the help of the air support from Rudel Ju-87 Stuka and an old HS-123 aircraft. To win the Russians needed to roll or walk over the airstrips, but with only six turns, it is more an all out rush run for the victory conditions. I wished the scenario would be a turn or two longer to allow the Russians to advance more cautiously. Lots of thing to take account of for the Russians. The three T-28 M34 have no radio so they must use platoon movement wich was another rule we need to learn. On the first turn, my air support killed 2 squads and reduced a third one while evading AA fire. On turn 2, Rudel Ju-87 Stuka missed killing the main tank (Russian T28E M40) with his bomb rolling boxcars. So, no more bomb to eliminate the 4 incoming Russians tanks. On the other hand, the strafing runs of both air support German planes did terrible damage on the Russian Infantry troops, killing two squads, their Leader and breaking a third one. Needless to say, that we learned that when playing against air support, the better tactics would be to disperse your troops and not aligned them on the same hexrows. Later on turn 2, The German ATR eliminated the first Russian T28 M34 with a critical hit side hull shot. But that squad was later broken and reduced by another T26 M34 during the Defensive Fire Phase. On Turn 3, the same Russian T28 M34 eliminated two squads manning a LMG and the other the ATR in the wooden building in 14W5, opening the way for the infantry. Later on the movement phase, the German Hero Langer 149 destroyed another T28 M34 with a successfully positionned Demolition Charge and the third T28 M34 rolled a boxcar on ther start mechanical reliability DR immobilizing it. This Immobilezd T28 M34 would later on the next turn eliminate my Hero with a Critical Hit from the MA HE 76 mm round. On turn 5 the German kept eliminating the Russians squads with two other strafing run and stunned the only remaining Russian T28E M40 tank with another MG critical Hit just at the edge of the airstrips. On turn 6, it was still possible for the Russian to meet the victory conditions but when they start to move, Hans-Ulrich Rudel made another strafing run with his JU-87 Stuka miraculously stunning a second time the T28E M40 tank ending all hopes for the Russians to win the game. | |
| 2009-10-23 | (A) Paul Jones | vs | Justin Key | Russian win | Early success for Stuka but Russian tanks drove forward for runway and couldn't be stopped. |
