Overview:
The Recon in Force on 22 June did not go entirely well for the 3rd Belorussian Front; however, all five forward battalions of the 5th Army were very successful. They easily cleared the first trench lines making penetrations of up to four kilometers, and Soviet forces shifted to a general offensive in the afternoon. They established a bridgehead on the southern bank of the Svkhodrovka River, and smashed tow regiments of the 299th Division and the 550th Penal Battalion. During the night Soviet engineers laid three 60-ton bridges, over which armored forces would join the attack the next day.Attacker: Russian (277th Rifle Division, 72nd Rifle Corps)
Defender: German (Infantry Division 299)

| 2023-05-16 | (A) Andy Bagley | vs | Mike Grogan | German win | This one turned out closer that I expected, probably because it's hard for the Germans to avoid sustaining CVPs. My opponent set up his defence well back (with a screen of annoyingly-placed units in front) and positioned the Hornets carefully when they appeared, but I still succeeded in knocking out four of them with charging T34/85s. I also managed to get three of my AFVs off and captured buildings worth 9VPs, but my infantry was too slow and none of them managed to exit. So despite having the balance, I fell about 10 VPs short of the total needed. This is a big scenario with lots to think about for the attacker, and I made several mistakes that could have made a difference. It might also have helped if the radio for my OBA hadn't broken down on its first DR and never recovered! | ||
