Overview:

On the eve of Operation Barbarossa, SS-Kampfgruppe Nord was upgraded to a full SS Motorized Division. Not only the outfit's designation was new to the men, but also their weapons and in many respects the whole concept of warfare. The attack route lay through rough and unscouted terrain swept in haze from the prepatory barrage. Under the worst possible conditions would the Nord troops receive their baptism of fire.
Attacker: German (SS) (Bataillon I, SS-Infanterie-Regiment 7, SS-Division “Nord” and Gruppe Tölke, Panzer-Abteilung 40 zBV)
Defender: Russian (122nd Rifle Division and 2nd Tank Battalion, 1st Tank Regiment, 1st Tank Division)

2025-04-02(A) Jon Jaramillo vs Chris Larkin German (SS) win2 hrsMy attacking Germans devoted most of their assets to attacking thru the woods in the south. I immediately found the ap mines with a full stack of troops but was able to clear them in my turn 2. Once I realized there were no AT mines I brought my afvs up to support the infantry and cut rout paths. I ended up capturing the bridges, the building, and two full squads plus my afvs were fully functional. On the Russian turn 4, he challenged my afvs with his and a rate of fire tear reduced both Russian afvs to wrecks. More than enough vp for an immediate German win. Fun scenario. My opponent didn't fall back quickly enough and that ended up hurting his chances.
