[Mad Russian]

For anyone interested in seeing what I think 1941 battles look like see my HSG B series of scenarios at The Scenario Depot II.

HSG Barbarossa Scenarios

Take a good hard look at HSG B Each In Turn.


3 July 1941, Near Lipki Russia

The 18th Panzer Division is about to meet the Soviet heavy tanks. Each Panzer Division in their turn have all met them!

The 1st Moscow Motor Rifle Division has over 100 heavy tanks assigned to it. Their orders are to retake the bridgehead that 18th Panzer Division forced across the Berezina River near Borisov.

Can the 18th Panzer Division, the only Panzer Division in the invasion to be predominately equipped with the PzIII equipped with the 37mm gun, stop the Russian unit?

HSG B Each In Turn

Here you are going to meet the Red Army of July 1941. Certainly not a toothless tiger. But not a fire breathing monster that cannot be beaten with good tactics.

This is what I think combat in 1941 is all about. Green/Conscript vs Veteran /Crack. A few very tough Soviet tanks to deal with. Most of them not so tough but still capable of killing German armor. The difference is maneuver. The big deciding factor is how well you maneuver your forces.

Can you win? Yes. Can you lose this fight as the all powerful German invader? Yes.

For me this is a typical early war engagement. Try it and see what you think.

Good Hunting.
