Scenario LIWo007

This scenario did not start off well for the Iron Wolves when their first roadblock was spotted by the advancing German forces, only to come under OBA fire which rolled snake eyes on the first attack and eliminated a step, demoralized all the forces in the hex and KIA the 9-1-1 leader. The second roadblock, with the lone ATG battery, lasted a little longer but it too fell to the German OBA once it was spotted, at least it engaged the German armored cars at long range before it died, with no effect.

While this was going on the German cavalry decided to move north around the roadblocks only to be met by the Lithuanian cavalry in and around the fields on maps 4 & 5. At first the Iron Wolves got the better of the Germans with the timely support of a HMG company, but the Germans had numbers and just enough troops were able to slip past to exit off the map, seven total, casualties were heavy on both sides.

With one turn left both sides had victory in their grasp, the Germans needed to get one more unit off the map, they had two cavalry troops within easy reach of the east map edge, but one was disrupted while the other was adjacent to two Lithuanian cavalry troops. The Iron Wolves won the initiative but only got 1 activation, their DF roll was an 8, which was a moral check, which the German cavalry troop easily passed with the help of a Lt Colonel and his -2 morale modifier. The Germans just barely won a major victory, if their troop had broken the victory would have gone the other way.
