Grenadiers
Walkre Regiments were organized like regular Grenadier
Regiments without heavy weapon support. Tey were
assigned as Home Guard units in Germany and as such were
trained but had never faced combat.
When infantry divisions began to disappear rapidly under
Soviet attack the Walkre Regiments were sent east as re-
placements. Since they arrived with all their weapons and in
full regiments they were immediately assigned to supplement
depleted infantry divisions.
Replacements
Tis would allow an infantry division to keep one regiment
of veterans in reserve while having two regiments of Walkre
replacements in front. Tey could also integrate remaining
veterans within the Walkre Regiments to provide leader-
ship and training.
Tough the idea seemed feasible in practice the swift de-
struction of infantry divisions during Operation Bagration
saw the Walkre Regiments hastily assigned under infantry
divisions that had been severely depleted.

Te 1065. Grenadier Regiment, one of the frst Walkre
Regiments to reach the front, was immediately attached to
the 170. Infanteriedivision as it was hurriedly reforming at
Molodeczno just prior to the fall of Minsk. Its frst mission
seemed wholly appropriate for a Home Defence unit.
Tey were to assist the 221. Sicherungsdivision as part of
Kampfgruppe Lendil in keeping the rail line open between
Minsk and Molodeczno.
Events however overcame their initial mission as the
Soviet spearheads began to threaten not only the Minsk-
Molodeczno rail line but the entire area northwest of
Minsk. To this efect, the regiment found itself in a front
line combat struggle with Soviet mechanised and armoured
formations.

Remnants of the 14. and 299. Infanterie divisions
were married with the 1068. and 1069. Grenadier
(Walkre) regiments near Molodeczno. With these new
units, Kampfgruppe Metz grew to become one of four
Kampfgruppen under Kampfgruppe von Saucken.
It incorporated Kampfgruppe Lendil with additional
units and was sent eastward to assist the other three
Kampfgruppen of the 5. Panzerdivision in their attempts
to halt the Soviet ofensive northeast of Minsk near the
Byelorussian town of Borizov.
Tough unsuccessful in stopping the Soviet ofensive,
Kampfgruppe von Saucken held up the Soviet advance
long enough to allow many units of the 4. Armee to
escape encirclement at Minsk.
Kampfgruppen
In essence, though the infantry divisions retained their
support and headquarters units, its combat units were more
and more made up of Walkre regiments. Tough fully
manned, these Walkre Regiments lacked the experience
and heavy weapons to stop the advancing Soviet army who
had just decimated the regular infantry regiments.
Some Walkre Regiments were thrown into Kampfgruppen
by themselves but most were attached to existing Infantry
Divisions. If the division survived through the summer of
1944, they formally picked up their Walkre regiments
when the division was eventually reconstituted.
Walkre regiments were some of the frst reinforcements to
reach the eastern front during Operation Bagration. Tey
were quickly integrated into the retreating infantry divisions
to form Kampfgruppen in a hasty attempt to halt the Red
Army.

Many more Kampfgruppen were formed
in the attempt to halt the Soviet
Ofensive in Operation Bagration. As
the entire front collapsed the retreating
German Army would marry up with
any units available. Tis included in
place security, reserve, replacement, and
training units as well as reinforcement
units of arriving Panzerdivision and
Walkre Regiments.
Initially, because of the serious lack of
mobile and mechanised units in Armee
Gruppe Mitte, most Kampfgruppe were
formed as Sperrverband in hopes of
holding back the Soviet tidal wave long
enough for remnant units to escape to
the west.
Once reinforcements began to arrive
near the end of June the panzers and
panzergrenadier units became the core

rated as Fearless Veteran. Von Saucken may join a German company for +65 points.
counterattacK expert
Von Saucken was repeatedly called upon by Der Fhrer to prevent Soviet breakthroughs
with thrown together forces. Von Sauckens proven ability to organize and launch mobile
counterattack became his forte, having demonstrated his tactical skill many times on the
Eastern Front.
All platoons within Command Distance of von Saucken may re-roll any failed Skill Tests to
make a Stormtroopers move.
panzers marcH
Von Sauckens keen tactical abilities and strong leadership skills provided his forces the
opportunities to provide decisive force when needed to stop Soviet spearheads. Time and
again, across the Eastern Front, von Sauckens units managed to apply the right force at the
right point in meeting Soviet advancing formations.
Each turn von Saucken may re-roll one die rolled to receive Reserves for his company.
Veteran Tank-Hunters
Walkre can both utilise platoons of the newest Tank-
Hunters whether it be the 7.5cm PaK40 auf RSO or Hetzer.
Tese platoons can provide the mobile anti-tank support
required to bolster the defence against armoured attacks.
Both are capable of taking out Soviet tank companies with
their Manoeuvre and Fire or Shoot and Scoot attributes.
flak nests
Walkre companies also incorporated the assets of the
Luftwafe that had been defending the towns, cities, and
depots throughout occupied Byelorussia. Teir inherent
frepower can greatly increase the defensive abilities of the
lightly armed Sicherungs and Walkre troops. In particular,
the open bunkered FlaK Nest can provide the higher rates of
fre needed to defeat light armour and infantry.

of the Kampfgruppen formed. Tey
fared somewhat better against the Red
Army but they too were overwhelmed
by Operation Bagration.
However, some of these Kampfgruppen
were able to hold the line for a few
days and eventually began to retreat in
good order as the German Army began
to implement the old Soviet tactic of
trading space for time.
A Walkrekompanie uses all the German special rules on pages 241 to 245 of the rulebook.
Walkrekompanie
Te Walkre were the German Home Guard formations that
were fully equipped but had never faced enemy fre. Tey
arrived on the Eastern Front with a full complement of regi-
mental support but with no divisional support as German
infantry battalions.
Tey were quickly assigned as replacement formations for
the now severely depleted German infantry divisions. As
such they were thrust into the front lines with their only
support coming from the recently arrived 5. Panzerdivision
and 505. Schwere Panzerabteilung. Retreating Luftwafe Flak
battalions also provided some support.
With little combat experience the Walkrekompanie was
expected to halt the advancing Soviet mechanised forma-
tions. Luckily the veterans from the panzer divisions aforded
them a fghting chance.

Walkre platoons provide excellent infantry reinforcements

for developing a coherent defence against an advancing
mechanised enemy. Arriving fully combat equipped, they
can easily be integrated into existing formations to form a
ready defence.
Tough felded as full companies they were generally sup-
ported by more veteran formations. Tis allowed for a quick
development of a solid defence backed by crack combat
veterans able to stop, hold, and then counterattack enemy
incursions.
Te initial Walkrekompanie came from the home front.
Tese borders guards had been outftted with as full combat
infantry units but had been stripped of heavy equipment.
Having been trained as regular army they lacked combat
experience but were a ready made reinforcements for the
beleaguered German infantry.

As fully-equipped combat units the Walkre mortar platoons
can provide full artillery support to your defensive forma-
tions. Use them to slow down infantry assaults or provide
smoke to cover your counterattacks.
Two fully equipped machine-gun sections can provide the
fre support needed to defeat most enemy infantry assaults.
Dug-in and well-placed machine-gun nests provide the cor-
nerstone of a good defensive network.
Te MG42 heavy machine-gun has proven its worth time

manoeuvre and fIre
Experienced tank-hunters would prepare fring and
movement routes within concealing terrain to maximize
their efectiveness against advancing enemy armour.
Veteran Tank-hunter Platoons may prepare alternate fring posi-
tions. At the start of the game choose a single piece of Concealing
Area Terrain or Linear Obstacle that provides Concealment. If a
Veteran Tank-hunter Platoon is placed from Ambush choose the
terrain feature at the start of the Starting Step in the turn the
ambushing platoon is placed. Te selected terrain feature must
be at least partially within your deployment area.
As long as the whole platoon remains Concealed within or behind
the selected terrain feature, they may shoot using their full ROF
when they move, as if they had not moved. If the platoon leaves
the selected terrain feature, or is no longer Concealed from enemy
teams other than aircraft, they lose the beneft of the Manoeuvre
and Fire special rule for the remainder of the game.

You force may only have one Light Anti-aircraft Gun
Platoon equipped with Quad 2cm FlaK Nests.

Fielding anti-aircraft guns protect your soft rear-area assets

from enemy fghter bombers. Providing this point defence is
best accomplished when your guns are in fortifed positions.
Tis also afords some protection against enemy reconnais-
sance and infantry platoons. Te high rate of fre of anti-
aircraft guns efectively clears the skies of aircraft or brings
much needed support to your dwindling infantry when
fghting advancing enemy formations.
In a particularly ingenious idea to quickly protect their anti-
aircraft assets while still providing direct support for their
infantry, the Germans would place 2cm quad anti-aircraft
guns on the roofs, attics, or the top foors of buildings.
Tis tactic allowed the guns to fre at Soviet aircraft as well as
providing direct frepower against assaulting infantry.
By sand bagging and fortifying the house, the Flak Nest was
protected against all but heavy calibre high explosives.
A Walkrekompanie containing any Quad 2cm FlaK Nests
from a Light Anti-aircraft Gun Platoon as its only fortifca-
tions is not a Fortifed Company.
Quad 2cm FlaK Nests follow the Fortifcation Placement
rules on page 262 of the rulebook.
