By the time the 1944 Soviet summer offensive was unleashed, heavy Panzer battalions were used as fire brigades to plug the inevitable gaps. At the Sujewo Heights, the sector of the entrenched German 121st Infantry Division, the Soviet advance rolled on toward the Pleskau-Ostroff road. A catastrophic breakthrough loomed, one that could result in complete collapse. The Schwere Panzer Abteilung 502, equipped with PzKfw VI “Tiger tanks, was rushed to the area to close any breach.

GAME:  Shoot Charlie!
GENERA:  WWII Naval
HOST:  Ian McCandlish
RULES:  Supremacy at Sea
SCALE: ​ 1/2400th
PLAYER SLOTS:  ​8  
SCENARIO: 
In May of 1941, the war had just begun.  The Germans had the biggest ship, that had the biggest guns--- Ah, but it's not the Bismarck we are directly concerned with. Assuming Rodney and Nelson are both with the Mediterranean Fleet when Hood is sunk by Bismarck, it becomes imperative to get them out into the Atlantic to block Bismarck's escape. But those vile French have gone over to the Axis, and in concert with the Italian navy will try to prevent the British ships from getting to Gibraltar, and thereby save the Bismarck and curry favour with the Fuhrer. But Vice Admiral Charlie is on the bridge of Nelson, so we know it will be an epic battle
