Overview:

After the reduction of the Kiev pocket in early September, the German High Command convinced Hitler that Moscow could still be taken before the winter. The dictator approved Operation Typhoon, a massive offensive aimed at destroying the Soviet forces before Moscow. In a special message to the German soldiers, the Führer urged them to deliver den letzten gewaltigen Hieb ("the last mighty hew") to the enemy and thereby decide the war in the East. On 30 September, Guderian's 2nd Panzer Group. including five Panzer Divisions, hurled itself against the Soviet defenses near Sevsk.

2025-12-05(D) nathan wegener vs Wes Vaughn German win4.5 hrsHad my MLR in the center of the board with the KV up front to make the Germans work at the first stone building. It fell but he couldnt clear the area and I retook the stone building in turn 3 as he pushed around to reach the rear. It fell again to the 9-2 platoon in T6. Ultimately it came down to a CC where I had 2 conscripts and he had one squad 1:2 and he rolled snakes to clear me out and my return attack failed. Great game - several options for both players.
2025-12-02(A) Andy Beaton vs Stephen Slunt German win3.33 hrsExciting, fast paced game. The Germans had one turn where the Russians couldn't buy a dice roll, followed by a turn where 3 German tanks bogged or were killed by ATR fire. In the end, there were more Germans in the Russian end zone than the surviving Russians could stop.
