German Artillery Phase.

It's on in earnest now folks. The german commander has called in one artillery strike and a Precious Nebelwerfer attack, right on the troops in the centre.

Shells and rockets come in like hail. The German artillery is still warming up it seems and the Russians suffer no losses. Amazing. There are two suppressions and two disorders though so that will put a dent in the advance speed at least.

German Offensive Fire Phase.

Speaking of dents, the PAK fires again at the KV. This time a disorder is achieved with the KV crew getting upset at being picked on like this.

If you think of a PAK 40 as having a sound like Bang and an 85mm being a Blam then imagine an SU-100 - more like a KerBlam!!. The Germans happen to have something that is similar.

KerBlam!! There it is now. The Sherman crew doesn't know much about it as they are too busy baling out of their tank which is now doing an impression of a toaster trying to cook petrol. The shot came from the light woods in front of the town. There is something there that the Russians now wish wasn't.

It is now the German movement phase.
