Savage Defense of Skybyn - Ukraine 2022 (15mm Wargame - Part 2)
Join us as we finish up our 15mm wargame of the Battle of Skybyn during the opening weeks of the Ukraine War.
As discussed last week, this fight took place when Russians of the 90th Guards Tank Division made their way down the E-95 Highway to threaten the northeastern approaches to Kyiv. After taking hideous damage to a series of Ukrainian antitank ambushes at the village of Skybyn, they then tried to shove their way around the east side of the town, resisted by units of the Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade.
We’re using the Seven Days to the River Rhine system by Great Escape Games to play out this scenario. The Russians have lost quite a few tanks, but they’ve managed to shoot down a Ukrainian attack drone and heavily damage their infantry. Will the Russians crack the Ukrainian defense, or will the 72nd hold the line again?
