Overview:
The German juggernaut had reached the Russian frontier, having recently dissected Soviet resistance during it advance through the Baltic region. Here the Russians would make a stand, hoping previously prepared defensive positions known as the Stalin Line would allow time for the proper defense of Leningrad. The Russians, however, had allowed these fortifications to fall in disrepair and frantic efforts to bolster the defenses were underway as the lead elements of Kampfgruppe Raus approached.Attacker: German (6th Panzer Division, Motorized Infantry Brigade 6, Panzer Engineer Battalion57, Panzer Regiment 11)
Defender: Russian (8th Army, 10th Rifle Division, The People's Militia Army and remnants of the 12th Mechanized Corps)

| 2025-03-04 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Robert Zinselmeyer | Russian win | The Russians set up the wire and AT ditches forcing the German vehicles to risk bog checks or use the infantry to clear wire. The Germans advanced too cautiously and then bogged/immobilized in the wire. With only a couple functioning AFVs little time remaining, the Germans conceded. | ||

| 2024-04-29 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Craig Renier | German win | The Germans broke the ATR carrying squad early and made a steady advance towards the defended positions. Malfed MMGs and Cupolas aided the German efforts along with lots of SMOKE Dispensers. The Germans were deep in the village with a clear path to exit several points not needing to take the last building. Great scenario, fun, with lots of options for the Russians in defense. | ||
