verrückter Pinguin considered the situation as he worked his combat knife. On one hand, you could clearly argue that the assault had been a failure, on account of how none of the objectives had been reached and pretty much everyone was dead. On the other hand, he wasn't one of them, which was always a win in his book. His squad were carefully watching the front of the building, to make sure that no Soviets pushed across the courtyard to attack them. In the meantime, Pinguin was in one of the back rooms, furiously scraping at the mortar between the bricks in the back wall of the building with his knife. If he could just get a few bricks out, him and his squad could bail out of the back of the building, without having to use that damn front door again... Thanks for the videos Hapless, really enjoyed it and looking forward to your content in 2024.

And the fighting ends not with a bang, but with a whimper. Looking forward to the AAR on this one, it’s definitely got a lot of lessons to learn!

Well, it ended with a bang for some of the pixeltruppen...

Well the chance for victory in this one was slim, unless you had the blessings of "RNG Jesus" bestowed upon you. The constraints placed on force selection and not having time to isolate and reduce key defensive positions in a proper manner made this scenario play out as a "hasty" rather than a "deliberate" assault. It did however, give us a good idea of what happened at the actual "meet and greet party" that the Soviets hosted when the Germans first pushed into the area.

Hugging, bumrushing and focusing everything on the left seems even more viable when the fog of war is gone.. That AT hit with the mortar would have sent me into a bloodrush, (I'm not letting that one go), whitch probably would have ended even worse 😅 Get em next time Hapless, love your content

Wow. A surprisingly ignoble end. I'd be delighted to see how easy (or otherwise) this scenario is from the other perspective!

It feels like tight time limits are a bad immersion breaker. Of course making a video series of 120 turns where first hour not much happens would not be good for KZitem.

The advantage to the shorter battles is that if they're a disaster, they're over faster ;)

@@usuallyhapless9481 True that 🙂. But for example here, when German commander sees the tanks and knows destroying them is very unlikely, he could try to delay the attack until he gets something that could destroy them. Try couple hours later. Also not knowing anything about enemy locations is a bit unrealistic, that makes the short game time worse. If Germans have planned to attack, they would have observation posts keeping check where anyone is seen etc. And defender knowing the time limit, which is also very unrealistic, makes things worse. But it is a fun game nonetheless :).

I am glad it's over. The premise was great but the game felt a little bit too gamey. With what was in your disposal it was an okay attempt, although I feel like the far left flank was undeveloped and forgotten about. Then again, with the resources at hand you probably expected a more "lore accurate" soviet defense headcount, but alas.

Hauptman DeadSalmon didnt know the battle was over till he saw his men run backwards past him, he still hadn't found his damn radio.

Sad that the match ended so early, but good try nonetheless. Still a bit puzzled by the way you chose to go about it, though. Will there be an after action report?

The forces seemed a bit too even for an assault particularly in such difficult terrain. I think you needed more infantry and more fire support like an assault gun or 2. Better luck in the next one.

Do you think a bit of movement up on the flanks might have helped? Those tanks are a real problem though.

Potentially some movement up the far left might have helped, but probably not much against mobile enemy armour even disregarding the time it would take to redeploy over there
