BATTLEFRONT: Breaking the Tide ("I Want My Grandma!!!")

[TRDG]

Thanks for all the effort and pic here Mag, my 1 question is, starting from the BACK END of the Jagdpanther, those are all Russian units except the one lonely German one next to the toasted T-34/85, correct?

Cheers, until the last round is shot!!

The only German troops left in front of or in line with the JagdPanther are the unit in the trench and the one behind the burning T34 (brown).

The counter attack isn't going well at this stage but I am enjoying it......

[TRDG]

Sounds good Dave, I beleave we are all having fun here as well, both sides to!!

Cheers

German artillery phase.

The target area is the Russian units and SU at the trench nearest the JagdPanther.

There are four Russian sections in the blast area and the SU. The end result is that
the disordered unit at the trench stays disordered. The MMG unit behind the first line
is wiped out. The other three units including the SU are all suppressed.

The mortar in the town opens up and suppresses the Russian section in the light woods
between the Panther and the trench.

Nice shots this time but is it enough ?

It is now time for the German offensive fire followed by movement.

[MAGNA]

The German troops use every available weapon they have to mainly target the depleted group which includes the SU. Really really lucky for the Russians this time. One suppression is the only result, although that may make it tough for them to continue their advance or even stay where they are.

One Russian section in the light woods next to the Panther is hit hard and is wiped out, with the MMG of the same group (other side of the Panther) being suppressed as well.

The Russians note the fire of a HMG coming from the town (suspected target), and see a Hannomag next to the buildings which has also fired it's HMG.

Since all the German units have fired and done their reorder rolls there is no movement.

It is now the Russian defensive fire phase.

Someone is going to need to put in a few good shots to break the deadlock here....

My dear Watson, it appears as if the game is afoot!

[TRDG]

HHMM, are there still options for getting an extra turn or two Dave? I hate having a draw here....Hagen, are you up for another turn or two if our dice rolls still suck by the end of the next turn (the last "official" turn) and none of our forces run/KIA??

Cheers, let me know guys if you would, orders to be sent soon, before work tonight maybe.....

There is another option: We are willing to accept your surrender
