Overview:
In October 1941, several unsuccessful raids carried out by the Soviet Air Force against the Romanian oilfields convinced Hitler to conquer the Crimean Peninsula. The first difficulty lay in the Russian position on the Perekop Isthmus. Obviously, the 51st Army had fortified this natural 5 mile wide route to the south of the peninsula. Impossible to bypass the obstacle, it had to be taken by with a frontal assault. At 5:00 AM on 5 October, German artillery unleashed a rolling thunder barrage over enemy lines.Attacker: German (54.Korps, 11.Armee)
Defender: Russian (271st Rifle Division)

2021-11-30 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | German win | The German barrage was not as effective as the Germans needed. The German Kill stack with both MMG's went on a rate tear and broke three of the five remaining Russian positions. The Russian sniper got revenge and popped the German 9-1 with the MMG's. The game ended on Russian phase of Turn 5 when the final 4-4-7 was broken by the last two good order German units...both of which were 2-4-7's. It was a bloody mess of a game...and bloody good fun. | ||
