Introduction
|
|
Having taken Hill 257, the Storm Division next moved to secure Hill 253 a few hundred meters to its south. The meat-grinder of Ponyri Station continued to churn, and possession of this rise would keep Soviet reinforcements from approaching the station from the east. By this point, both sides had suffered heavy losses, with the remaining troops thoroughly exhausted. But accompanied by the six remaining Ferdinand tank destroyers, the Storm Division went forward again.

Conclusion
|
|
While the Storm Division took the hilltop, allowing the Germans to bring the road from Maloarkhangelsk to Ponyri Station under direct fire, the Soviets had poured in fresh troops from the southern approach. A Guards Airborne division and another tank brigade moved up to aid 307th Rifle Division at the ruined station along with an armored train. But while the Soviets had fresh divisions to feed into the slaughterhouse, the Germans did not.

Display Relevant AFV Rules
| AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle |
- Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
- AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8).
They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank
leader in order to carry out combat movement.
- AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
- Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn
(either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more
(11.2).
- Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its
printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
- Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire
(7.44, 7.64).
Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire,
but not both (7.22, 13.0).
Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
- Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
- Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
- AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
- AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
- Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
- Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
- Assault Gun: if closed-top, provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable
- Tank Destroyer: do not provide the +1 Assault bonus, even if closed-top (SB)
- Prime Movers: Transports which only transport towed units and/or leaders (May not carry personnel units). May or may not be armored (armored models are open-top). All are mechanized. (SB)
