This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a Rapid Fire scenario based on Soviet efforts to retake the Baltic States in the Fall of 1944.
Before deploying the Russian forces, the players plan their attack. The main objective is the fortified artillery position at the end of the table. Cutting the road to the right is a secondary objective.
The Russians advance across the rail line.
An AT gun hides next to a building.
The main objective in the far distance.
Russian troops attack through the woods.
The gully provides temporary cover in the advance.
The first defense line (StuGs and infantry) is taken.
A lone Sherman reaches the main defense position.
The main objective is never threatened by the Russian attack.
The Russian attacks got near the secondary objective, but German reinforcements were positioned to stop them when we ended the game. A difficult but fun scenario, with lots of tactical choices for the players.
