Overview:

With the VII Armeekorps drive to Voronezh stalled by both Soviet counterattacks and their own exhaustion from the summer heat, General der Artillerie Ernst-Eberhard Hell implored his landsers to dig in as "whatever they could not achieve with sweat would be paid for with a lot of blood." As General Mikhail Katukov's 1st Tank Army counterattacked along the Bol'shaia Vereika River, the fighting eventually broke through the defensive lines into the village of Gremiache, where Generalleutnant Arno Jahr's Infanterie-Division 387 was waiting with bated breath.
Attacker: Russian (237th Rifle Division with 89th Tank Brogade and 1st Motorized Rifle Brigade)
Defender: German (Infanterie-Regiment 542, Infanterie-Division 387 with Panzer-Regiment 33 and Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 201)

2024-10-10(A) Andy Goldin vs Jim Sevette Russian winASLOK 2024. Very intense game with crazy dice on both sides. I moved through the town pretty aggressively, getting halfway through it before his reinforcements arrived.
Dice highlights (or lowlights) include a 2+2 FP shot on his gun crew, causing an NMC on which Jim rolled boxcars. Later a couple of rate tears with my Russian 50mm mortar killed a squad and drove the rest bezerk. My remaining light tank then rolled a “2” on the TK on Jims Mk3, making it burn. Jim then disabled the MA on one of his Stugs, at which time he conceded. Tough game!
2024-04-13(A) Simon Staniforth vs DrawWe had to call it with time having run out and a couple of turns to go. As the Russians I had taken most of the hexrow L to R buildings but was weakened by losses and the German infantry counter attacking force was in good shape to push me out. We had exchanged most of the AFVs with only a single StuG remaining, the Russians had some prisoners, so it was shaping up to be a close finish on VP
2024-03-03(A) Richard Jenulis vs Greg Rodgers Russian winIt looked bad for the Russians the first half of the game. Turn 4 the situation stabilized. Turns 5 & 6 swung back in the Russians favor for the win. The Russian Armor came up big. Captured two German leaders ;)
2023-09-09(A) John Garlic vs Maurizo Grassi German win[Imported from ROAR]
2023-07-30(A) Dan Best vs Dave Goldman Russian winSt. Louis ASL Tournament 2023.
