Close game - German armour stranded due to lack of command card to activate. |
An aqgressive attack in the centre by the German armour & infantry early in the game clinched the axis victory. |
The Germans took an early hammering losing all of their armour units, but then poor Russian command and control (bad cards) led to the German infantry fighting their way back in it. Ultimately, they secured Sysoykin and eliminated Russian infantry in the centre to take the win. A close run thing! |
A brutal tank battle in the centre of the board! The score hides the fact that the Russian armour lost 6 figures, and two Russian infantry ended on 1 figure each, one of which was defending Nizhnyaya Kalinovka from a German infantry unit right next to it. The Russians managed to get infantry into Sysoykin too, which didn't help the German cause. Great fun, and a real challenge for the Germans. |
