The Grumble Jones December Scenario GJ052 - Desperate Yuletide depicts the efforts of the German 8th Panzer Division to escape encirclement on Christmas Day 1943. Inspiration for this scenario comes directly from the Osprey Publishing Campaign Series book - The DNEPR 1943 "Hitler's eastern rampart crumbles" by Robert Forczyk. An excellent color plate depicts the close up fighting as the Germans attempted to move through heavily wooded terrain.
Hopefully this scenario captures the feel of that desperate Christmas Day as Germans and Russians collided in the snowy woods of the Ukraine. This will be the final scenario for 2017. My thanks to Dan Best for his thoughts and ideas to enhance this scenario.
As always these monthly "Basement Quality" Scenarios are offered for fun only and as a thank you to the readers of this blog.
