Overview:

Operation Bagration, launched by the Soviets on June 23, was turning out to be highly successful. German reports noted that the Russians no longer attacked as in the early days with masses of infantry across a broad front but instead employed concentrated groups of infantry supported by well controlled fire from heavy weapons with follow up forces available once favorable forward positions were established. In addition, the German high command did not believe that this was the major portion of the Russian summer offensive and refused to send strategic reserves immediately. Finally, however, the situation on the ground proved threatening enough that the 5th Panzer Division with Tiger tanks of the attached 505th Heavy Tank Battalion was sent to assist.
Attacker: Russian (3rd Guards Tank Corps)
Defender: German (Army Group Center Security Forces/Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505 and 5th Panzer Division/Pionier Bataillon, 5th Panzer Division)

2024-05-10(A) Justin DiSabatino vs Russian winThe first turn was general maneuvering; Germans laying down a bit of fire to slow the Russians, and three Russian tanks aim for the tM10-vU10 gap to flank around the Germans. On turn 2, the German luck took a turn for the worst. The Russian tanks move forward to engage the Tiger, the HIP 50L manages one shot before malf'ing, and one of the Shermans manages an incredibly lucky shot to take out the Tiger. On Turn 3, the Russians rush forward to hold ground before the German reinforcements arrive - this sets up the next two turns where the Germans struggle to take ground towards the objective buildings. The Germans manage to hold one briefly before being repulsed and then the remainder of the Germans were decimated.
