Introduction |
---|
In the Summer of 1942, Axis troops reached the very edge of the Caucasus mountains, the line between Europe and Asia. German and Romanian troops fought their way toward the port of Novorossisk, while the Soviets threw in all possible reserves to stop them. While Red Army troops dug in around Abinskaya, the Black Sea Fleet sent its famous armored train "Death to the Hitlerite Invaders" to help. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Germans attacked furiously, but spurred on by their kommissars the Soviet riflemen threw back the invaders. Three days later a Romanian cavalry division relieved the German infantry and drove the Soviets out of Abinskaya, opening the door to Novorossisk. |

Setup: The Soviets stay in the town, forcing the Germans to approach across the railroad tracks on Board 3. The armored train and two HMG's are in defensive positions on the railroad crossing just north of the town. The Germans setup in two groups, one to attack directly from the north, the other to cross the railroad in the east then attack from the east. Play: The German move southward in their two groups, but stop to deal with the Soviet train from a distance. The 50mm AT gun and the armored train exchanged fire for a number of turns, until finally the German anti-tank tank fire destroys the train and the Germans move up again. Within three turns the outpost at the railroad crossing. The Germans then move up to the town, and do not waste time assaulting from the north, and the next turn the Germans moving in from the east slam into the Soviet defenders and the Soviets begin to crumble. The Soviets eventually break, and the Soviets retreat into the woods west of the town, leaving the town to the Germans. Result: German Victory. |
