Introduction
|
|
Under orders to move forward and attack as soon as possible, General V.A. Reviakhin pushed his 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division west. As soon as the lead regiment crossed the Vazuza River in the late afternoon, he ordered an immediate attack on the German-held village of Nikonovo, which had been bypassed in the initial advance. Another regiment rushed in behind to take the village of Maloe Kroptovo. Considered the finest division in the Red Army of Workers and Peasants, the 1st Guards went into action without waiting for their tanks or artillery to catch up with the hard-driving infantry. The fight began as daylight began to fade.

|
Conclusion
|
|
Soviet fighting spirit proved no match for German automatic weapons. The riflemen of the 1st and 3rd Guards Motorized Regiments advanced unsupported by artillery and armor and suffered horrendous losses, with fully half of 3rd Regiment's 3,000 men killed in action. By nightfall both regiments had been withdrawn, no longer a combat-effective formation.

Additional Notes
|
|
Soviet Guards transport counters may be downloaded from Avalanche Press. Otherwise, use RKKA trucks and wagons in place of the Guards counters as needed.
Gold Club members may want to use the Moscow Rifles divisional counter set for a little more historical flavor. |
