Saturday the local HMGS-South group played a game of Bolt Action at the Dogs of War shop. The scenario was Soviets vs Germans in Byelorussia, July 1944. The Soviet 168th Rifle Division is advancing toward the key city of Lida in Byelorussia when they run into a roadblock centered on a small village. The roadblock is manned by elements of the German 211th Infantry Division.
No troops yet deployed. Soviets will enter on the right.
The Soviets advance, trying to stay in cover.
Firefights with the German HMG in the largest building (rubble pile actually) whittle away at both sides.
The left flank German squad is reduced to three men and pinned down (failing several order attempts).
Soviets assault and take the first building.
Soviet assault on the fresh right flank German squad is crushed, but the surviving German troopers are down shortly thereafter. More Soviets move up, but the game ends (6 turns) with only one building taken (a draw).
