Overview:

Elements of the German 294th Infantry Division held a line with a series of strong points, with the 429th Regiment defending the village of Bairak. Just after dawn, the Russian 169th Division's artillery opened fire on Bairak to soften up the defenses. Shortly thereafter, the 680th Rifle Regiment's 3rd Battalion made its assault on the town. They established a toehold, but help was needed. 1st and 2nd Battalions followed up to reinforce and exploit the 3rd Battalion's gains. The German garrison was forced to withdrawal under pressure. A rear guard covered the Germans while the remainder of the main body pulled back.
Attacker: Russian (Elements of the 680th Rifle Regiment, 169th Rifle Division and 2nd Battalion, 84th Tank Brigade)

2025-08-16(A) Dave Mareske vs Bob Piepho Russian winRussians carefully moved forward encircling Germans as they went. With no upper levels route paths were hard to maintain. Eventually the last alamo building was surrounded with too much firepower for the Germans to withstand.
2024-10-31(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Francesco Berucci German win
2024-06-15(D) John Garlic vs Jay Harms Russian win
2023-04-25(A) Simon Staniforth vs MA Russian winA couple of tricky LOSs that the German player hadn’t seen meant the Russians were able to take out the Panzer IIIs early and this allowed the T-34s to get into the “back field” and encircle / cut rout paths. A T3 HW with all the Conscripts broke the German position around the W2 victory building leaving 3 turns to take Z1. Plenty of AFV freezing allowed the infantry to move up and the remaining German Units were eliminated T5. No doubt it would have been a much closer game if the German Panzers were in play for,longer. A very enjoyable tourney size scenario which is pretty balanced on c25 playings so far
2021-10-12(A) Tony Fermendzin vs Steve Boro German winSee Steve's write up below. Scenario provided some really interesting options for both sides. The Russians seemed to have a lot to do in this one, and it always felt like they were a little behind the clock. I think I could have done better with the tanks. Really enjoyed the game. Thanks, Steve.
