Overview:

On 1 December, Generalfeldmarschall Gunther von Kluge launched one final and furious bid to seize the shortest route to the Soviet capital-the Minsk-Moscow highway. Attacking at 0500 hours, XX. Armeekorps struck the Soviet 33rd Army's defenders in the vicinity of Naro-Fominisk, hoping to break into the rear area of the Soviet 5th Army. By noon the penetration had reached two miles in depth, splitting the 5th from Lt. General Mikhail Grigoryevich Yefremov's 33rd Army. General Georgy Zhukov, commander of the Western Front, ordered a counterattack to be launched against the breach.

2025-11-20(A) Andy Bagley vs Mike Grogan Russian winWe gave the Russians the balance in this one based on ROAR results, but this probably wasn't necessary. The Germans suffered heavily from extreme winter, with unlucky DRs breaking down several of their guns on the first shot, and hindering the movement of units which started on the flanks. German firepower was also hampered by heavy snow for much of the game.
As the Russians, I went for a strong attack in the centre and used my tanks to keep German forces on the flanks in check, which worked pretty well. Germans conceded on Turn 6, by which time three of my tanks had already exited and lots of infantry was about to leave too. A fairly comfortable Russian win, although I certainly had the better of the DRs.

2024-04-14(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wallace Russian winPoor setup - too many units committed to centre of the map where they were isolated by T34s on overwatch on the hill and unable to redeploy in time to counter the main assault down my left flank. Extreme winter was also a factor, both ATGs on my left flank malf'ed (both rolling '10s') on their first shots, as did one of the StuGs. And the only successful sniper attack of the game KIA'ed the German 9-2 and broke the accompanying squad manning the MMG.
