Main Event IV: M1A1 vs. Schwerpunkt

[Ratzki]

Mr. X comments - "Gentlemen of the jury! I surely hope that you did not lay all your fortunes again me! I am not claiming victory, but this will not be a one way battle! OK, my problems are considerable - my right is caved in and I have suffered enough casualties to bring me dangerously low morale. In fact I have almost no infantry left that is available to take flags on my right flank. He is poised with infantry and tanks to take that flag. That will give him two large and two small - which his a victory for him. My support weapons in the center are low on ammunition and suffering casualties. My advantages though are also worthy of winning this game IMO. I am not certain, but I think there is another KO'ed Ivan tank. I am not certain on a KO from the battle film, but I had at least two penetrations on his center tank and heard the motor stop on the second hit, but my opponents reaction to the turn was somewhat of a confirmation! I certainly have enough infantry to take and hold the left and left center flag, especially with my tanks free to move soon. If I can fight off his tanks with my Crack Panzer and AT gun, then I can use the Vet and Reg PzKwIV to move about, confront his infantry and support an advance. I think at this point that he spent too much on armor and does not have a hoard of infantry hidden like I do. I will be hard pressed, but I still think that if I end his armor threat, he is mine!

Your Hero, Mister X"
