Given that the COI 110 is considered highly unbalanced towards the Axis (old SLlist had it at Axis record of 13-2); changes were made in the ASL version (A9 from the ASL ANNUAL ’89. latter #136). That too was unbalanced per the ASL ROAR with a record of 51-11 (as of 170914); the postponement of the German reinforcements was implemented as a potential remedy.
MUNCHENEBERG, German y 19 April 1945: With the Third Reich in its death throes, the Soviet juggernaut began to pick up speed. The German defense line on the Oder had been broken; one town after another fell to the Russian armies as they advanced on Berlin. Hitler was determined not to fight the final battle in the city itself, but rather on the front of the IX Army. Throwing whatever troops were available into the path of the onrushing hordes, the Germans plaid a bitter price for every day’s delay. One such instance where heavy fighting occurred was in and round the little town of Muncheneberg; there the Germans momentarily mounted a semblance of organized defense. Here, just 20 miles east of the capital, mixed units of the 56th Panzer Corps mad a gallant effort to forestall the inexorable advance of the 8th Guards army.NORTH
