sid_burn Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hello, I just recently finished the scenario Snow for the Hungry (part of fire and rubble). I didn't want to do too in-depth of a rundown on it (it is a great scenario and I recommend it to anyone). So I figured I'd do this miniature AAR. I'm just going to briefly recount my match in a few small posts. 2 platoons of understrength Panzer Grenadiers and a group of about 7 tanks (3 tigers, 2 stugs, and 2 panthers) are going to try and relieve Konigsberg. As part of it, we have to secure the road leading to the city and clear out some Soviet units along the way. There is a heavy blizzard going on that enables us to move in relative safety and take the objectives in detail. Here is the plan: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid_burn Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 With the threat of the T34s gone, the tanks return to shooting up liberating the village and the Panzergrenadiers are dismounted to storm the buildings. On the road to Konigsberg, our Stugs run headfirst into some T34s. 3 T34s are destroyed for the cost of 1 Stug. The 1 Stug, after seeing some soviet infantry in the tree line retreats back to a hull down position and watches the road for a bit. (After a bit of time I eventually just move it down the road and leave it there to get the obj and catch any incoming soviet forces). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid_burn Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Here is the plan going forward after the capture of the first objective. Likewise, Panzerschrek teams have been sent out into the woods to screen for any tanks waiting in ambush. The small village on the route to the 2nd objective is cleared easily. As expected, there are some Russian infantry there, but they don’t put up much resistance; a lack of any AT weapons means they are taken out quite easily as the tigers and panthers go to work. The tanks also find and destroy a T34 waiting in ambush 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yes, a very good scenario and always interesting to see how other players approach the challenges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid_burn Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 The assault on the second objective (Waldburg) has commenced. It actually ends up being relatively quiet as well. We do lose our first and only Tiger to a T34. A panther quickly gets revenge. With that last obstacle, a rather uneventful march onto the last objective occurs. The occasional Russian takes a pot shot, but it doesn’t do much given the presence of the tanks to cover. Sadly, organizing the attack on Waldburg and making sure it is clear takes up the rest of my time and the game ends. We achieve a respectable tactical victory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its one of my favorites from F&R. I could see it turning bad for the Germans quickly if they lose any of their tanks as they are lacking in real infantry strength, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
