Overview:

The second phase of the 1944 Soviet summer offensive began on 13 July. By 18 July, the Soviets had broken the German defenses over a front of 200 kilometers and depth of 50 kilometers and had encircled eight German divisions within the "Brody Pocket". The Soviets sought to collapse the pocket by focusing attacks against the newly established 14. Waffengrenadier der SS (Galizien) which was made up of Ukrainian volunteers. On 20 and 21 July, the Germans attempted a number of breakout and rescue attempts. Althuogh several units broke through, the majority remained. On 22 July, several attempts were made from the southwest sector of the pocket. One such attempt was made by a large number of Ukrainian and German troops between the villages of Liats'ke and Iasenivtsi.

2024-10-30(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne DuvalD Russian winGalicians were held north of the road. Only one AFV and one squad made it through the gauntlet. OBA kept the relief force unable to offer assistance. Russian Turn 5 Groups sealed their fate.
2023-07-08(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German (SS) winReally not fun game. My Russian tanks got blasted right away with two destroyed. My other two went to the 58 high ground, but then got destroyed by the Tigers. This game feels scripted to let the Germans escape. Dan did an east board edge creep, which basically eliminated half the Russian force, which wasn't able to pivot effectively. My Russians got in some licks, by but Turn 6, the Germans had all the victory points exited...so that was game. Scenarios that overly script the action make for unsatisfying game play. This scenario could be better if the Russians had more flexibility in setup and in where they bring in their reinforcements. And allowing the German player to set up right on top of 4 Russian T-34's at game start...why?? Why do that? Nobody playing ASL enjoys having their backside handed to them at the very start of the game.

2021-06-20(A) keith Spurlock vs Andy Hershey Russian win[Imported from ROAR]
2020-05-12(A) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker German (SS) winBig slog of a battle, one of attrition and play-mistakes. There's a lot going on here. It's an interesting situation but some parts feel like the scenario needs a little more tweaking. We couldn't work out how to save the doomed tank platoon and the German reinforcements can be thrown away with abandon as they don't matter at all, which leads to strange situations where the Russians ignore them whilst they're running in front of MGs.

Not sure the setup of the Germans needs the ">=", also.
