The scenario is from the Kustrin supplement for Battlegroup rules which aims to combine a Soviet advance over three days into one scenario. The Soviet attack is split into three waves when one exceeds it Battle Rating it will be removed and replaced by the next wave.
The first wave was repulsed in turn five.
Three T34/76s lead the first wave with tank riders.
Supported by a lend-lease Valentine.
With additional support from a M3 halftrack.
The Germans well dug in await the attack supported by two Waffen-SS Tiger IIs
Turn five the first wave is repulsed.
Bring up the bad boys T34/85s supported by two SU76 assault guns.
Come along Ivan we are waiting for you.
Eeek! An off table Katyushka strike precedes the assault.
Resulting in one pinned infantry team, really!
Abandoned! While over on the other flank others are destroyed. Turn eight the second wave is repulsed.
Bring on the last wave, more T34/85s and two ISU152s the 'Cat Killers'
It soon makes an impression.
KABOOM! But it is too late losses on the T34s results in the waves Battle Rating being exceeded the attack is repulsed. History is repeated although it only delayed the inevitable fall of the city.
A grand game full of drama, shocking dice rolls by both sides adding some amusing interludes for us both along the way.
Until next time KBO.
