THE MAIN EVENT! Walkure vs. Herroberst

[Der Kuenstler]

A DESPERATE ATTACK FAILS

Minute 32 of 33+:

Herroberst plans an atack with the few remnants he has available near the main flag. He wants to send half of his force into the woods straight ahead. The other part will do an end-around through the two empty buildings to the South. The T34 is to fire on the rubble in support of the attack.



But it all fails miserably. Within five seconds the sickening "whoosh" of a hidden German shrek is heard and the T34 is knocked out after firing only once. The two battered squads sent through the supposedly empty buildings find the last one already occupied with Germans hiding with a cover arc - they are mercilessly cut down. Of the two squads sent into the woods, one is pinned before it ever gets out in the open, and the other makes it about halfway before German small arms fire hits them from every direction and routs them, killing four of their 8 men.



We can see from Walkure's side schrek OBG Jobst in position - he is only a regular - his shrek partner has already been killed in action and he only has two shells left, but he is in command of a +1 combat, +1 stealth leader. He only needs one shell. "That is for my good kamerad Hans, you dirty Russian SOB" Jobst says to himself as he quickly ducks into the rubble to avoid the small arms return fire.



To the South, Walkure's men continue to threaten. Herroberst stubbornly refuses to move his T34 or his M5 halftrack back - they are firing their MGs into the light building which has some Germans in it. Nearby Unt Van Cutsem is leading a crack squad - there are only two healthy men left, but they still have some potato mashers and a schrek, and they have managed to get withing 30 meters of the last surviving T34. Will this be how Herroberst loses his last precious tank?



Message from Herroberst:

"Well, rushing the central flag didn't work. My last good squad on the left flank objective paniced. Maybe the T-34 and HT can hold it. My rear platoon continues up without opposition... so far"
