THE MAIN EVENT! Walkure vs. Herroberst

[Der Kuenstler]

RECON SHOT:

Herroberst's M5/T34 column moves out in a smooth formation - no snarls until - wait - the second T34 in the second tank platoon enters the roadway a little late - the third T34 bumps into him and begins backing. The SU122s then bang into it - a traffic jam!

But Herroberst's M5s are already far down the road - they have turned into a field just past the first crossroads. The mounted SMG troops will likely be running into that patch of woods ahead - it will be tough to get them out of there once they are set.

The first T34 platoon has turned at the first crossroads and is heading on "fast" towards the "X" where Walkure's two spotters are focused. Their mounted infantry may take a beating and the tanks may lose some commanders in the blasts but the M5s will be safe for now.

The 57mm gun to the right is rolling into a nice high patch of woods. Off the screen further to the right another 57mm is being pulled forward on transport.



Below is a shot of the traffic jam to the rear - LT BAKSOV in the MG carrier shouts "Get that @#$% tank moving you fool or you will be driving in Siberia!! We are losing precious time!!"



It could have been worse - the SU122s are not carrying anyone and so their late arrival shouldn't matter much.
