Another big scenario for this one, and with snow and big slow tanks it was a bloodfest!

The Russians are forced to split their forces somewhat so it was mainly infantry and AT Rifles in the woods, but with Gun support as well. Around the airport were the excellent tanks with some infantry dug in. The Russian position was formidable indeed.

The Germans attacked from the South East and immediately hit the Russians in the villages. Again as in the last game this caused a bit of a bottleneck for a while. Both sides caused casualties at this point but by 9.00am the villages were cleared. At this point the German tanks were heading north on the road and not against too much opposition. It was soon found by the Germans that the trucks were useless and so foot transport was required.

Now both the infantry and tanks hit the main Russian line and mayhem ensued. Massive losses on both sides and the German attack really bogged down fairly early. Despite this a section of Tigers made it to the Airport only to be destroyed before support arrived.

All in all a excellent game. I like the shorter scenarios as you have a real sense of pressure when attacking and hope when defending, and especially with the Fog of War rules.

Now to a smaller one hopefully
