Overview:
On the final day of the war, some die-hard remnants of the 4th Panzer Division defended a one-mile wide spit of sand called the Frische Nehrung. Now, after years of war, the Third Reich had been reduced to just a few acres of dunes on the Baltic Sea. Oberfeldwebel Hermann Bix commanded one of three operational Jagdpanthers and a small kampfgruppe that had withdrawn to the seventh of ten battle positions. Looking out from the dunes at the shattered hulks of Russian tanks, he could hear the enemy massing for yet another attack. He noticed the Russians building a strange barrier of driftwood but he could not figure out why. Alerted by the sound of an approaching vehicle, Bix surveyed the field again. Suddenly, the Russians dropped the barrier, revealing an ISU-152 pointing straight at him with a gun barrel looking as big as a culvert pipe.Attacker: Russian (Elements 4th Guards Tank Bde, 2nd Guards Tank Corps & 350th Guards Heavy SP Artillery Regt.)
Defender: German (Remnants Kampfgruppe Bix, 4th Panzer Division)

Failed PMC big time, German forces were down to 3 squad equivalent, half of which were about to be involved in cc and the other half were conscripts. 8 PF attempts resulted in 2 pinned units, 3 successful checks 2 of which blew up in my hands. No sniper from 6 rolls. | ||

| 2024-03-25 | (D) Andy Bagley | vs | Josh Kalman | German win | Short and quite dicey scenario but good fun. Unusual terrain (sand in Europe) and unusual SSRs which we kept forgetting but probably didn't affect the result. The Russians got two of my JgPzVs and almost all my infantry, but lost most of their tanks including both ISU-152s in the process. On my last turn, my remaining JgPz rushed into the victory area, then remained in motion and successfully put down smoke with his sN. The remaining Russians swarmed it, but couldn't get it either with firepower or in CC, so i scraped a win. |
