Overview:

As the Russian front spread with each German success, vast gaps were left in the main line. These gaps proved to be perfect avenues of approach for the far-ranging Russian cavalry. One such daring group, the 1st Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Division, rode deep behind enemy lines to the main depot of the 6th Army, near the town of Korosten. Waiting until twilight, they drew their sabres and came sweeping across the steppes like the Cossacks of old.

2025-06-22(A) O Ramaille vs Russian winThe initial cavalry attack suffered some losses. But then having dismounted, the Russians were able to cause heavy casualties on the German defenders. They were starting to withdraw when the German reinforcements appear. The halftrack pursued the Russian cavalry but they too suffered losses and were unable to prevent the exit of the Russian marauders. A decisive Russian victory with 45 inflicted CVP (1 AC and 2 HT among them) to 17 CVP suffered and 28 EVP.
2021-10-21(A) nathan wegener vs Dave Mareske German winInitial cavalry attack suffered heavy losses. I had just enough CVP to start exiting but needed to get everyone off and could not stay far enough away from the reinforcements. Highlight for me was capturing the AC and using it to whack a squad while driving off the map.
2021-10-21(D) Dave Mareske vs Nathan Wegener German winThis was a fun scenario. A good learning one for cavalry and halftrack overruns. The Russians lost a lot in the initial attack with some good DRs and even though the Russians captured the Armored Car they did not get enough off the board to seal the win.
2021-06-09(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German winUsed German balance. I was too slow getting my Russians into position which allowed Germans to recombine into squads which then proceeded to give as much as they were taking. Excellent use of German vehicles to prevent routing & keep placing DM was too much for the Russians. It was a debacle, just not for the side I had hoped!
