Rich Domovic's Russians defeated Paul Lauger's Germans in DB141 - Gut Punch.
It went down to the final die roll, a 3-1 CC attack which eliminated the last unbroken MMC in a building to gain the win for the Russians.
The battle went back and forth for the seven turns, some when I thought I was in good shape, some in trouble.
The Russians must eliminate all unbroken German MMCs in buildings on board 9b. The scenario sees a weak, 1945 German force of 12 squad equivalents, 9 conscripts assaulted by 12 Russian elite squads and 10 tanks. The Germans do have an 88L, 75L and an immobilized King Tiger.
Half boards 46 and 75 flank VC board 9b and the Germans must setup forces on all three boards, while the Russians must enter on all three.
Paul's Germans destroyed six Russian tanks with panzerfausts (6's were wild), one in CC, while I cellar-ed two tanks and immobilized one T34/M43 (which counted for the one remaining tank required). The 88L missed a 10 To Hit shot, followed by an IF malfunction. CC was my friend as the Russians eventually won all the infantry CCs.
The tiger effectively overwatched the middle huts, protecting concealed German halfsquads. The middle hut 75L succumbed to a 2+2 shot and a last turn assault took out the German halfsquads despite tiger fire.
A 236/8-1 sneaked back into a building near the upper two factories, setting up the final 3-1.
Enjoyed playing Paul.
