Main Event IV: M1A1 vs. Schwerpunkt

[Ratzki]

M1A1's KV-Flame presents a tempting side shot for Mr. X's infantry, but at the last moment, the KV and some Russian infantry locate the German squad. Taking some serious heat from all angles, Mr. X's sneak attack fails this time, and the squad is decimated by machinegun fire.
The T-34s also fire at will on targets as they presnt themselves. The German squads try to hang on, but there is just too much combined firepower from the Russian infantry and armor. Mr. X is withdrawing his troops as well, seeing that this is not a good situation. I think he wants to lure the Russian tanks into sight of his AT gun an/or PZ IVs.

The German forces are being run over, flames, HE, and machineguns blast away and the ROUTE is on now. There are dead German squads spread out near the woods as they were caught in the crossfire. Those squads that are not eliminated are ROUTED and PANICED. The flame thrower is spouting death all over the woods and moves towards Mr. X's heavy weapons section containing the 50mm mortars and a couple HMGs. It will not take long before they to are going to be in the sights of the flame tank.


As the Russian force moves through, there is little to do but mop up what Germans remain. Mr. X is trying to put together some sort of resistance to slow the Russian tanks down. Will have to wait and see if it can be done.
