Decision Games GOSS Rule System

I have been a fan of the GOSS Series from Decision Games.  Unfortunately, until the last revision the quality of the rules writing was poor.  Even the latest version has errors in the text, but the issues with the rules system itself have dramatically been reduced in my opinion.

Anyway not going to go into details about the system today, but I plan to post and AAR of Wacht am Rhein from Decision Games.  The AAR will start after the end of the Dec. 17th Night turn.  Until then below are a couple of screen shots from the Vassal version of the game;

 

6th Panzer Armee Sector

5th Panzer Armee Sector

Guderian's Blitzkreig Turn 1b

 Russian Front, SE of Rosylov

The Soviet 279^th Strelkovaya Division was bombed and overrun by the 177th AG battalion and remnants retreated north.  With the bridge secure, 10^th Panzer penetrated the Soviet front and advanced to Kirov.  Elements (PzG regiment and Pz Battalion) overran the 173^rd Infantry in a fortified position.  173rd was sent reeling back but the KG did not press the attack to avoid losses At Kirov the remainder of the 10th turned north towards Spa Demyansk and overran the airfield SE of the city.  The attack was such a surprise ½ a squadron of Lagg3s were left behind.
2^nd Panzer, following close behind, headed north to Spa Demyansk proper, overrunning the remnants of 173^rd Infantry as they turned north.  Defenders in Spa were scattered easily, but not before destroying a few supplies.  At Kirov, truck convoys were established to allow the fortified position captured from the Russians to be used as a supply source.  A supply dump was established there.
A small KG consisting of the 192^nd AG battalion and the 276^th Hvy Flak battalion moved SE of Kirov to cut the Kaluga-Bryansk RR at Zhizda, but the objective was out of reach.
Finally, a railway repair battalion has started to convert the railroad to Bryansk.

  Opening moves for Operation Typhoon.  South Sector

East of Shostka

Above shows major advances south of Bryansk.  Objective is to cutoff troops defending Bryansk and drive on the city.  Capturing Orel cuts off supply to Bryansk from the east.  Breakthrough was achieved by a series of barrages followed by overruns along the axis of advance.  3rd, 4th and 18th Pz Divisions defeated 2 Soviet tank units in detail to achieve results.  17th Pz fought through a defensive line of inferior Soviet infantry divisions.  Total losses for Soviets, 2 Infantry divisions, cav div and an HQ.  No German losses.  Dogfight over L'Gov resulted in substantial Mig-2 losses.
