Overview:

Sunrise on 8 July found Oberst Georg Zierhold's Grenadier-Regiment 508 in possession of central Ponyri, with Bataillon III, led by Hauptmann Erich Mundstock, having penetrated as far south as the schoolhouse. The Soviet 3rd Tank Corps under Major Ge·neral Maxim Sinenko had arrived late the night before, and Zierhold was expecting an all-out counterattack. His mission now was defensive, and preventing reinforcements from reaching the train station and resisting Sinenko's attack from the east was vital. Given little time to rest, Mundstock dug in around the sturdy concrete schoolhouse and braced for the inevitable hammer blow.

Attacker: Russian (3rd Battalion, 1023rd Rifle Regiment and 27th Guards Tank Battalion)

2026-06-20	(A) Mark Thompson	vs	Chuck Tewksbury	Russian win	Russians concentrated their attack in the South where the German defense was more sparse, complemented by a center and Northern force primed to use Armored Assault. The Southern wing made good progress in taking VC buildings but the center and Northern wings took time and casualties getting across the round to complete the pincer. Meanwhile, the 50L in S66 wreaked havoc on the Southern force. However, the pincer move eventually worked, collapsing the Germans in on themselves, but the Russian victory cost them dearly and was a near thing - only the margin in surviving mobile AFVs gave them the 10th VC point. A good scenario with repeat playability - the Russians need to move and take risks while also not giving back what has been taken.....
