Overview:

The German drive east for the Don and the city of Rostov had become an obsession. Units bypassed Russian formations, while others unexpectedly ran head long into them. One such occurrence happened near the town of Romanowka when the Reconnaissance Battalion, Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler unexpectedly drove into the Russian Ninth Army Headquarters.
Attacker: German (SS) (Stabs-Aufklarungsabteilung supported by 3/Flak-Abteilung and 6/Batterie Artillerie-Regiment, all of LSSAH)

2016-12-30(A) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'Archeveque Russian winBruno L'Archeveque and I had a second playing of LSSAH14 A BIRD IN THE HAND to see if I could do any better as the German attacker. I did better than him, but still conceded on the German sixth turn (of eight). On paper, the Germans have enough firepower. To use it, however, is difficult because there are only six squads (against nine Russian). The rest of the firepower is towed ATG and soft skin flak half tracks. We cannot see how a competent Russian player could lose this scenario.
