Terror in the Snow

Somewhere along the Dneiper River, 40 miles south of Kiev, early November 1943:
After the debacle at Kursk, the nearby German forces were refitted by Hitler 
within an area behind the river. With the Soviets dogging their heels, it was 
required to guard the east bank to allow retreating Germans across and prevent 
Soviet bridgeheads from forming. Nearly universally, elite units formed the rear 
guard; thereby compensating for the dearth of manpower through 'elan'. With such 
slim resources, however, even minor probes by the enemy could be ruinous.

*Night* Scenario: 3 hex Visibility

Game Length: 6.5 turns

Russians: AFV's
Germans: Squads, PSK's, PF's, LMG's, AT Guns, AFV

Boards: #4, #5, #6, #14

Aftermath: Although outnumbered and outgunned, the German defenders were still able 
to obliterate the Soviet's probe. However, the 'PAK Front' was disrupted with many 
subsequent attacks of which succeeded in driving the Germans to the river's edge. 
As was their usual response then, while the Soviet manpower reserves proved the 
difference.
