After action report: Soviets stops German march to Berlin!!

Mr_G · 03-26-2006, 10:51 PM

I've played a 200 pts scenario today using the new units from my set 3 case.

I fielded an (almost) all Soviet army while my opponent fielded a German army.

-The builds were as follow:
**Soviet army**
1x Sturmovik
1x Commissar
1x Cossack captain
1x 82 mm mortar
1x red army forward obvserver
1x 40mm Bofors
3x Mosin Nagant
2x Ppsh
1x Fanatical sniper
1x IS-2
1x KV-1
1x T-70 1942

**German Army**
1x King Tiger
1x Stug III
1x Jagdpanzer IV
1x Flak 38
1x panzerschrek
3x panzergrenadiers
1x Wermacht sniper
1x SS Stormtrooper
1x Junkers Stuka
1x Messerschmitt 109

-The battle map configuration was Urban Combat.
German choose to set-up first. They set-up on the far side from the objective, forming a line near the city. Soviet player set up forming an infantry line on the other side of the city with a KV-1 with forward observer mounted in the forest at the right.

-turn 1:
Soviet goes first. I quickly get my troops into the city. I advance my KV-1 to the front of the forest. My IS-2 quickly takes ground in the city. German player advances along the road at the side of the map. His jagdpanzer and stug forming the rear and shooting all the while. I decide to let my Sturmovik off the map for the first few turns. German player attacks with his stuka and messerchmitt. Both planes miss. The messerchmitt is killed by Antiair. The T-70 and the Stug disrupt each other.

-turn 2:
Germany goes first. German troops lag behind as they are shot by a forward observing mortar. The T-70 is finished up by the stug and the IS-2 pounds the Stug with overkill. KV-1 approaches the city. cossack captain is disrupted by remaining Stuka while the stuka is shot down by antiair and 2 lucky and close PPsh.

-turn 3 to 5:
King Tiger advances in the city with stormtroopers. Panzershreck is destroyed by KV-1. Flak is disrupted by indirect fire from mortar. The fight now becomes a close combat city fight. Disrupted Cossack captain is destroyed by advancing stromtroopers. The flak 38 is killed by the mortar and the fanatical sniper. King tigers destroys KV-1 at turn 4. The Sturmovik and IS-2 score a damage on the KT, and they destroy it at turn 5 (damaged IS-2 rolls 13 successes out of 15 dice! Amazing!). Bad luck from the German player takes it's toll as heavy casualites become more frequent. The Jagdpanzer makes a bold move avoiding 2 disruptive fire to damage the IS-2.

-turn 6:
The Sturmovik destroys the jagdpanzer in a single shot and the remaining german army is too far away to make it at the objective by turn 7 (only one infantry, the SS-stormtrooper, can make it and it has to cross 5 soldiers).

-Victory: SOVIETS!!

It was just a title I made up meaning that a Soviet army won against a German army in an A&AM match

Thanks. The battle was fun. There was nice die rolls and bad ones. In all fairness, the German player could've placed his King Tiger and Jagdpanzer better and placed a few more good shots at range. I could have made better use of my KV-1, but I was afraid to lose it to his KT.
