Overview:

In the sector of the Russian 1st and 3rd Guards Armies the Axis defensive lines on the Don and the Chir Rivers had been shattered. As Russian mobile formations poured through the line and into Axis rear areas, various formations were cut off. The Romanian 7th Infantry Division was one of these. Since the opening of the LITTLE SATURN offensive this division had been steadily driven back. As the front lines evaporated on December 19th, the 1st Guards Mechanized Brigade and 197th Rifle Division encircled the Romanian Division at the town of Kruzhilin. The next day the Russians launched concentric attacks on the surrounded Romanians.

2020-08-23	(A) Rich Weiley	vs	Raphael Ferry	Russian win	Round Three of the 2020 Asia Pacific VASL tournament. Played with the Soviet balance (T34s were radio equipped) which definitely helped. Wrong footed Raphael's defence as he expected me to cross the stream at the bridges. As it is frozen and doesn't present much of an obstacle I attacked straight up the middle.
2019-04-16	(D) Ulric Schwela	vs	MC	Romanian win	Many interesting choices for both sides. Romanian receives 5 Guns and 3 MMG/HMG which can be set up in many different ways. Russian enters from two opposite sides of the map and can choose the terrain it wants to attack across. SAN of 3 for both sides keeps it fairly quiet. In our game the Russian had the balance and used the radio-equipped T-34s a little too eagerly. One succumbed to MOL while another was unlucky to park adjacent to a hidden ATG. The KV-8 was superbly effective and sent scurrying anything its flamethrower could lick, only Xing out late in the game, and continued as a mobile nuisance after that. Romanians used MOL as often as possible, and one attack vs infantry set fire to a VC building, which proved a boon in denying that hex as a jumping off point for the next VC building. The 81* MTR was vicious until the KV-8 reached it, while all of the Russian MTRs hardly got a look in. The Russian first liners struggled, while the elite group seemed unstoppable. Losses were fairly low on both sides until the last two turns, when the Romanians still had about 8 GO squads in a line centred on the last VC building. Then every Russian attack met a wall of fire which they simply couldn't overcome, and the red tide ebbed away. Ultimately the Romanians managed enough low rolls with their weak FP troops, supported by interlocking MG fire lanes and supported by the ART Guns, that the final assault was stymied. Very intense.
