Prague, Czechoslovakia 1945-05-08 (3 others)

Overview:

On the day the war ends in Europe, the fighting in the city of Prague is just approaching a crescendo. German units - still in control of the city - are battling the local Czech partisans who started the Prague Uprising several days previously. The partisans, desperate for help in any form, invite the Russian Liberation Army to fight the Germans for them, in return for asylum once the war ends. Unfortunately for the Russians under General Vlasov, the communist partisans have no intention of allowing Russian traitors asylum, and brutal three-way fighting erupts throughout the city.. . . . . One of the few, if not the only, ASL scenarios ever published involving 3 players where all three players are fighting both other sides. The partisans sport a French armored car with a 12.7mm main armament. The SS has the use of a couple of powerful tank destroyers and a Pz38(t), while the ROA has a couple of captured T-34s, a Hetzer, and a few German halftracks, one of which is armed with flamethrowers. To top it off, all three sides are given some form of panzerfaust ability, and the partisans and SS each have a panzerschreck. You can just imagine the carnage of scrap metal that results.
