AP62 Shouting into the Storm v. Ernie Cameron; completed 2 of 6.5 turns of a late-war, heavy metal slugfest.
A bit of a change from regular playtesting to play a scenario from the NWASL Championship in order to familiarize myself with it.
The Germans horde starts on the other side of Frigid stream with a lone stone bridge to cross without suffering Replacement.
When said horde I meant it: 12x 5-4-8, 3x 8-3-8, 9-2, 2x 9-1, 8-0, toting a myriad of LMG, Psk, FT, & DCs 3x Pz VIB King Tigers, 4x StuG IIIG(L), and a StuH 42(L) with an ELR of 4 and not to mention 30x PF 45. Don't forget the Smoke making capability.
The Russians aren't slouches either 6x 4-5-8 and either 3x 4-5-8 or 4x 6-2-8 with some LMG, .50-cal HMG, FT & DC, 2x 57mm ATG and possibly a 100mm ATG with either 3x IS-2m or 1x Su-100 & 3x T-34/85.
The Germans have to capture 4 objectives each denoted by a yellow "v".
Thus far, a Russian 57mm ATG managed to Deliberately Immobilize a Pz VIB King Tiger, but was quickly taken out. The German also had a 5-4-8 stray in the clear LOS of a Russian 4-5-8+LMG directed by 9-1 and was KIA'd on a IIFT DR of 3.
Far back in the rear a StuG IIIG(L) Bogged trying to turn an leave the woods.
Looks daunting for the Russians as their tank reinforcements did not enter on Turn 2 (50/50 chance) but will enter on Turn 3.
For Turn 3, the Russians will have weather the German firepower storm until their tank support arrives.
