Overview:
Many Axis soldiers in Arbuzov arose on a bitterly cold Christmas Day to discover that they had been abandoned. The main force had apparently continued on their retreat without rounding up all the soldiers in the column from their scattered nighttime resting places. The abandoned soldiers, about 1500 in number, mostly Italians, believed they were doomed and decided to sell their lives dearly. Soon they heard the sounds of approaching Soviet troops. . .Attacker: Russian (44th Rifle Division)
Defender: Axis ((Italian) Divisioni Fanteria "Ravenna," "Pasubio," and "Torino" and (German) remnants of Infanterie-Division 298)

| 2023-12-11 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Nick Faryna | Axis win | What a banger of a game! I came in from two sides with an aim of forcing his forces into a place where they could not rout. That didn't turn out how things went, but they went well enough for me to start. I used my T 60 to sleaze freeze guys, allowing me to get into CC. In the end, I was fortunate to have the wind change and put the smoke into the Germans' faces and allowed me to run in. That said, the Italians and Germans were remarkably resilient for a bit. I did capture some disrupted Italians (massacred them later). In the end, Nick's Germans held out in CC and got snakes on the final turn to guarantee the win. What a fun match! | ||

| 2023-05-07 | (A) Indy Lagu | vs | Rob Oler | Russian win | A tough one for the defender, I think. My Russians seemed to inexorably push the Italian/German defenders around. The Russian tank is almost invulnerable. I used it to cut off rout paths. I think my opponent lost two squads because of it. Of course, I lost my invulnerable tank...I used it to overrun an Italian elite squad in OG, succeeded in making the squad go berserk, and lost the vehicle to a CC DR of 2! There must be a trick to defending this one: one that neither my opponent nor I saw. Having said all of this, it came down to the last turn, but the end had an air of inevitability to it. I might play it again as the Axis, just to see if I could figure out what to do. | ||
