A Winter Melee - The Matrix Games version of East Front II

[Best played against Human opponent]Following the Russian winter counteroffensive, the German were forced tofall back to isolated pockets in an attempt to survive both the Russians and the weather. In the resulting gaps, the Russians found useful employment for their cavalry in resupplying Partisans. Occasionally, however the Germans would sortie out of their pockets in an attempt to disrupt these Russian operations. On one such occasion a recon element of the 1. Panzer Regiment broke up a planned partisan-cavalry operation, and frustrated their attempts to re-establish themselves in the town. The Russians reacted strongly and threw in the only available reserve; an airborne drop by a battalion of the 204th Parachute Brigade. Soon the Germans found themselves in a wild melee with partisnas, cavalry, and paratroopers. [Squad Leader Conversion]
