German offensive fire phase.

This is probably an important time so good luck to both sides.

A HMG in the town opens up on the recce vehicle - a wipe out ! The recce vehicle is kaput.

The Ostwind behind the JagdPanzer fires at Russian troops next to the turretless T34 - no effect.

Blam - The JagdPanzer IV has a shot at the T34/85 cresting the trench at the top woods - A masiive shot that tears through the front armour of the T34. The crew bales but the tank does not burn for a change - either way it is finished.

KerBlam! - We know what that one was. The KV crew had an inkling of this and it's a gift they won't gracefully accept - the 88 shell doesn't worry about knocking, it just barges in anyway and distributes itself evenly about the interior of the KV. Another Soviet tank gone up to the JagdPanther.

The German infantry in the remaining trench fires at the one oncoming Russian section - no effect.

Once again the tanks have fired well but the infantry have not. Soviet infantry strength is still excellent even though the tanks are faltering. Tanks can't take the town though so the Germans still have a huge problem.

It is now the German movement phase.
