Valuable Assets - After Action Report


Somewhere near Kursk, during a Soviet counter-offensive, Summer 1943... The German offensive has been halted and cut in two by the Soviets. A German Heavy Panzer platoon is desperately trying to salvage some equipment and get back behind German lines, to lick their wounds while a German Infantry Division is trying another counterattack to gain control of an important railway line. The Russian defenders have orders to hold the strategically important high ground and destroy any retreating Germans...

  The first turn started with the Germans moving their infantry into the village at the west end of the table and probing forward. Meanwhile the Tiger platoon failed to move after forgetting to attach the tow-rope properly! A bad start for the tanks.
 

The German infantry continued to probe forward and sent a section forward to probe over the railway line and into a wood adjacent to the higher ground objective. However the cunning Russians had anticipated this and held their fire until the rest of the platoon had advanced into the open and mowed them down, leaving the advance section isolated in some woods.

 
  The German player then brought up a couple of MMGs to give covering fire but the Russians carried out some reactive fire and suppressed one of them. The Russians continued to fire at the MMGs during their own turn and managed to kill one squad.

The Germans then advanced some more platoons on towards the railway line to try and maximise their firepower against the defending Russian platoon. And the Tiger crews finally figured out how to tie a rope properly, and the platoon advanced.

 

The Germans continued to try and suppress the platoon defending the hill but after a few turns of not getting very far, they decided to try to probe towards the other higher ground objective further along the rail embankment. They dropped smoke in front of the defending Russians so they could advance safely across the open ground and managed to move virtually a whole Company into some woods near the other hill.
