Main Event IV: M1A1 vs. Schwerpunkt

[Ratzki]

I can't even say that there is a right flank for Mr. X anymore. M1A1 is content to linger and mop up the ROUTED germans in the area. The Russians are moving as little as ppossible trying to conserve strength, but at the cost of time. That may be more of an enemy right now then any German units. This has been a time consuming fight here and gained only a small flag.



On the other side of the map, things seem to be heating up for a winner takes all tank battle. Mr. X is moving now to locate and KO the last Russian tank in this area. There are three German Pz's moving abreast towards the KV. It should only be a turn before the giants meet.
M1A1 - "Getting nervous, I must engage your tanks And I am scared..."



The worst has happened for M1, the German armor comes into view, and shots are fired from both sides. M1A1's KV gets four chances to score a hit on a stationary Pz IV but fails to do so. Eventually a second Pz IV comes into LOS of the KV and within seconds it is all over for the KV.
A lone 45mm AT Gun is firing at th Pz IV as well, it scores several hits but does no damage. It would seem that Mr. X will have free run on this side of the map from now on.
