Introduction

LENINGRAD FRONT: The Soviet reaction to the encirclement of Leningrad was immediate and desperate. The 10th Rifle Division, supported by factory-fresh KV-1 and KV-2 tanks, launched an early morning attack on the 113th Motorized Infantry Regiment's positions in and around the village of Malaya Kabosi.
Conclusion

Lacking artillery support, the ill-prepared attack failed, but only barely. The heavy tanks almost made the difference. By nightfall the Soviets could make no further progress and halted the attack.
Display Relevant AFV Rules
AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle
  • Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
  • AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8). They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank leader in order to carry out combat movement.
  • AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
  • Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn (either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more (11.2).
  • Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
  • Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire (7.44, 7.64). Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire, but not both (7.22, 13.0). Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
  • Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
  • Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
  • AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
  • AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
  • Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
  • Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
  • Tank: all are closed-top and provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable

Scenario PaGr030

I picked this one to play because it looked quick and it was in the Battles for the Day list of the day I was reading the list. And, I have not played one from the original game in the long time. This is a straight forward assault on a town scenario with a Soviet Rifle Battalion, supported by tanks attacking across the open ground of the Steppes to assault a town held by a German infantry company reinforced by tanks and supported by air. The Soviets know they will take their lumps and just go for it. They attack head on at the town with the tanks coming in from the west to engage the German Pz III platoon.

Although some Soviets are sent scurrying away from German indirect fire and small arms the Soviets manage to get to the town in relatively good order using the cover of smoke (I used the Fire in the Steppe special rule to see if they would get smoke). By mid-game the Commies had a foothold both on the north end of town and on the west flank. The KV-1s push back the panzers but not before a lucky shot kills the KV-2; this loss is sorely felt as that firepower is needed for the continued assault. The Germans counter and retake the west hex. It goes down tot he wire with the Soviets one German step loss away from victory while the Germans could still through the Commies out of the town for the win. Neither side can accomplish either task. This goes down to the wire where either could win but don't. An exciting play for this old scenario.
