Overview:

The elite German 18th Panzer Regiment, fresh from amphibious training, was among the lead elements of Army Group Center as they pressed deep into Russia on the day after ‘Barbarossa’. The Soviets, still confused as to the extent of the attack, ordered armored cars of the Northwest Military District to the border and return. As they advanced, commanders on each side looked for the other in the distance. Rounding a curve, they found each other at less than 100 meters range.

2019-03-02(A) Shane Pask vs DrawAbsurdly quick. Russians started with a lucky shot that took out my lead tank. Armour leader tank disabled on second shot. One Russian tank escaped.
2018-11-13(A) John Malaska vs Jeff Buser Russian winJust couldn't come to grips with attacking the Russians. Poor showing for me.
2018-11-13(D) Jeff B vs John Malaska Russian win1.75 hrsThe only thing that really makes this scenario interesting are the random entries and limited first German moves. In our game we both entered from the north and saw each other on the 3rd impulse. I have to think that is the earliest possible. It also meant, had the Germans just lined up behind the hedgerow, that they could have popped me off one by one crossing the hill from my entry hex. I wouldn't have been able to cross the hedges (truck movement) so it would have either been that, making a break for the exit, or piling 5 vehicles into two hexes. I would have chose the latter course except my opponent kept all his vehicles in motion. This allowed me to enter unmolested and line myself up waiting for him to come to me. I made the mistake of taking a crap shot and breaking one of my guns. After that is was strictly shooting at stopped vehicles. MA malfs galore in this one. I broke four guns (fixing two) and he broke two (fixing two). The difference was both of his repaired vehicles were blasted the same turn they returned to action. It ended up being the tank fight my opponent was hoping for, but his ammo just could not penetrate my armor, and mine found the mark most every time. This really isn't the best learning scenario for vehicles. It's also easily broken. I just won't say how.
