Following Operation Uranus, which encircled the Sixth Army, the Red Army consolidated its gains in the Stalingrad Pocket. The German High Command sought a quick breakthrough, capitalizing on the element of surprise.Attacker: German (6th Panzer Division)

| 2024-08-09 | (D) Indy Lagu | vs | Rob Oler | Russian win | This was a strange one. My Russians only have one leader to start with, and my defence was a bit spread out. After turn 2, when Rob's Panzers had run roughshod and put me down 3 squads (of 6), I thought my defence should have been a bit less dissipated. However, I ended up getting a bit lucky on Rob's turn 3. Two point blank CH's with a 45L AT Gun and a recalled Panzer convinced Rob to resign. He didn't have a lot of infantry left, and my main defensive position was intact when my reinforcements were arriving. I was sure on turn 2 that I was not going to win this one. We would play it again. It's nothing special, but is a solid scenario. Edit: Turns out I cheated. I had an LMG at start instead of a MTR. Rob very graciously said he didn't think it would have made much of a difference. | ||
| 2024-06-20 | (A) Andy Bagley | vs | Simon Staniforth | Russian win | This felt tough for the Russians, though partly because of my opponent's skilful defence. The ground snow proved more of a problem than I expected; that extra MF uphill/downhill made quite a difference to my exit attempts. And the 45L AT Guns' relatively low TK number was offset by their high RoF, meaning several chances to get the low-ish rolls they needed. Even so, it went down to the final turn, but I conceded when it was evident that the Germans could not exit sufficient units to win. | ||
| 2024-06-20 | (D) Simon Staniforth | vs | Andy Bagley | Russian win | My opponents has already written this one up. I was lucky to get one of the tanks with an IF CH and took another out in CC. A few breaks at the wrong time for the Germans and there were insufficient numbers in the Exit area to achieve the required VP | ||
