Scenario KDoW001

Large meeting engagement between two SS PG regiments with minimal AT support, each regiment has two ATG batteries, one regiment with Pak41s the other Pak38s, initially going up against several Soviet tank brigades with 6 T34 & 2 T70 tank companies supported by four Tankodesanttiki SMG companies. Soviet reinforcements consisted of a Motor Rifle Brigade supported by a SPG regiment entered the game two turns later. The Germans had the edge in infantry & supports while the Soviets held the edge in armor.

One Soviet tank brigade was able to get to the town first & drove back a small SS force making a mad dash to get into the town before the Soviets. With the town captured they Soviets used their mobility to attack the gap between the SS regiments to establish a small bridgehead on the south side of the river, the SS beat up the tank brigades supporting infantry while trying to close the range so they could assault the Soviet armor, the SS had minor success.

Meanwhile the Motor Rifle Brigade saw an opportunity to establish their own bridgehead on the German right flank, but the Germans countered with accurate HMG & mortar fire and drove the Soviets back across the river, their lone Pak38 knocking out a couple SU76 & T70 steps.

The VCs are all on the Germans, they only achieved one which was not enough for a minor victory.

Since this scenario has four distinct fighting formations it could easily be played with four people, two to a side.
