Knights Cross and Nashorns!!

[Mad Russian]

9 January 1944. Near Vitbesk, Russia.

During the night 9 January, 1944, The crew of Lt. Albert Ernst in their Nashorn named "Falcon" prepared to support a night attack by the 14th Infantry Division.

A Soviet assembly area had been identified on the left flank of the 14th Infantry Division. Lt. Ernst's platoon had been sent to support the attack. The attack would take place early in the morning of January 9th, 1944.

It would be here, in this small Central Russian village, that Lieutenant Albert Ernst would earn the Knights Cross. He would be awarded the decoration on 7 February 1944.

Can you take a section of Nashorns and make a successful night attack with them against a Russian tank assembly area? This isn't going to be easy but then winning the Knights Cross never is!

We'll see if you are good enough to win the KC here!

The Scenario is at The Scenario Depot. You will find it listed as HSG KC Lt Ernst.

Thanks for the kind words. They are hard but very winnable. This one is no exeception but it is very hard to learn to keep the Nashorns alive. Took me many playtests to make this scenario work for me.

There two other Hero series that HSG supports. There is the VC Series done by Warmonger and the Congressional Medal of Honor series done by myself. They both highlight the acommplishments of extraordinary actions and they too are mostly for play vs the AI and as you noted "super hard to win" but very gratifying when you do.

Cool. I'll check it out too.

It's always fun to play with the AFVs that see little action.
