Overview:
The Russian armored forces fought a sharp engagement through the night, but finally managed to captured Krupki Station. As day broke, following up mechanized forces continued their westward advance, overtaking German stragglers as they went. The German 14th Infantry Division left its 11th Regiment as a rearguard on the approaches to Borisov, hoping to gain some time to allow the stragglers to get across the Berezina River...Attacker: Russian (5th Guards Rifle Division)
Defender: German (Infanterie Regiment 11, 14th Infantry Division)

| 2026-09-04 | (A) Rob Tyson | vs | Neil Bruger | German win | 2.5 hrs | My Soviets just couldn't pass a morale check. I was making some progress through the village, but by the end of the Soviet fourth turn I had only about 4 good order units left and one SU-76 while the Germans were sitting pretty (I did manage to take out his 75*. Still had a fun time and would play Neil again anytime. | |
| 2026-09-04 | (D) Grant Hewitt | vs | Douglas Leslie | Russian win | 2.75 hrs | Doug's assault was slow and steady, but my German's hung around until turn 6. I had a chance to win, but had to cross open ground and survive with a half squad (which pinned) while my three other squads were either caught in close combat, failed to rally in the last turn, or broke in the final movement phase. It was a fun scenario and I would definitely play it again. | |
| 2026-09-04 | (A) Douglas Leslie | vs | Grant Hewitt | Russian win | Managed to scrape home in this FNF game but it is hard work for the Russians, particularly when the Germans get the final turn. | ||
| 2026-09-04 | (D) Paul Legg | vs | David Goldman | Russian win (VASL Log) | Friday Night Fight My plan was to defend the wood line to the east and fall back into the village with covering fire from the village, with a final stand in the woods to the east in preprepared defences. Unfortunately the initial forces succumb, the village units effectively got trapped and fell to cc and only one unit made it to the prepared redoubt. |
