Soviets vs Germans Spring 1945

 

So after watching a few videos of All Minatures Great and Small, I decided to run a game on my painting table with a Soviet force against a German force.

The Soviets came on woth an IS-2 battalion a T-34/85 battalion, an SU-100 company, and Scout car company, 76mm gun platoon, an SU-122mm gun battery, a rocket battery

Against 

Tiger 1 platoon

Panzer IV platoon

A Panther

A Scout car platoon 

A mortar platoon

A Panzergrenadier platoon with 251

An MG42 platoon

The Soviets advanced on the German town which was in ruins. The Soviets advanced without infantry. This would prove to be a fatal error.

The first probe by the Russians sent theor Scout cars in to see who would fire on them. Followed by the T-34/85 battalion. The Germans replied with their Panzer IVs and used their infantry to swarm the tanks. While this led to severe casualties on the Germans, it ground down the Russians. Despite a last charge by the IS-2 to try and flank the last Tigers, the German Scout platoon rushed ahead and eliminated the Soviet artillery. The final Soviet IS-2 platoon were swarmed by Germans. Amazing that the Germans beat back the Russians.

They need infantry
