@Kohlenklau I'm glad that you're back with us. I hope you have a caring nurse.

Battle is over (time left 1:00). In last few minutes I was able to drawn into the trap and destroy enemy Panther so battle results with 3 enemy Panthers K.O.

@kohlenklau get well soon. Do not overextend yourself and listen to doctors. We need you on the front lines.

If we outnumber them we may have a chance to destroy remaining forces. I think that there are two Panthers and two King Tigers left. If only I had some 122mm gun on tracks... Terrain is on our side - short distance reduces enemy gun advantage. Enemy infantry suffered some casualities and there is no more than 2 plt. I saw one 75mm ATG. If we can replace our armor losses I am in favor of continuing the attack.

SITREP T2B Axis Assault 9:42 (-0:13) Attack on the right flank failed. A few rounds bounced off from KT's armor and after a while both of my SU-85 was burning. KT with the support of the Panther recorded another victory. I withdraw infantry under fire to defensive positions. Till now, our air force carried out only one raid Slowly'm running out of resources, I'll buy time for the price of infantry life. So far i lost 4 x SU-85 3 x SU-76 2 Inf Platoons Enemy lost 2 Panthers, few tank commanders, one truck and around inf plt

So far I counted 2 KT and 4-5 Panthers, After last sitrep enemy lost another Panther (magic shot from SU-85) and flyboys hit something on the rear (mobile AA maybe?, I've heard AA fire) so I think that there is 4-5 tanks left. I lost next SU-85 and 76 trying to hit KT in the center. These beasts are invincible!

SITREP T2B Axis Assault 9:27 (-0:28) Counter-attack on the left flank was unsuccessful. SU-76 has been destroyed when tried to sneak to King Tiger and win the chance to shot him from behind or flank. Before SU was spotted and destroyed he managed to fire twice, but direct hits into KT's turret did not cause any damage. Enemy tank fired only once and SU exploded. At the same time the SU-85 tried to approach from the front, but enemy commander apparently foresaw my intentions and directed Panther tank near my destroyer. SU-85 could not decide if he prefers to fight with KT or with Panther and as a result did not shoot anyone. Enemy vehicles do not have such dilemmas and after a while the SU-85 was burning. Infantry accompanying destroyers was minted by mgs and cannons fire and not have any chance to throw grenades and satchels onto enemy vehicles... After that enemy tried to exploit that temporary success and rushed one of his Panthers into front of my defensive lines. She was stopped by my SU-76 fire. Again shells from SU ricocheted from the enemy armor. Panther's single shot was enough. Moments later, Panther received a hit from SU-85 and that ended her raid.

SITREP T2B AXIS ASSAULT A few minutes ago we saw enemy forces advancing along road leading to Migoyo. Scouts reporting heavy armor and infantry approaching our positions. We form defensive lines but without armored support we will be crushed. I hope that the promised support will not come too late. Meanwhile i try to delay enemy advance with existing forces. Over and out Cmdr Snols

King Tigers and Panthers against SU-76 and 85s? I have a bad feeling about this... I volunteer

I hope you will find someone.

SITREP T1B PANZER BATTLE 7:30 On the road near Migoyo My orders was simple - "Delay enemy advance, inflict maximum casualities to enemy force, if possible hold the line or retreat." I deployed six of my remaining tanks along the N-S road and infantry took up a position in two small groves. Due to the small forces I focused on the western side of operations area. The battle began successfully for us - in the first few minutes we eliminate 3 enemy tanks, losing one machine. Soon, however, an enemy motorized infantry began to tour our positions using undefended eastern flank. To counteract that I send one T34/76 to the SW farm buildings and move my tank to cover avenue of approach. At the same time enemy infantry began to approach to the northern grove and one of three my tanks remaining at the NW buildings was destroyed. Enemy tanks stopped being obscured by buildings. On the eastern flank a lone T34 destroyed three Kubelwagen and opens fire on their passangers. Then things went bad... In order to help infantry advancing on the on the east side enemy moves one PzIV at high speed. My crew was firing at a enemy halftrack and ignored fast moving target. Meanwhile tank commander of the lone SE T34 was killed by enemy soldier. The crew panicked for a moment and move back their tank - straight under the barrel of the arrived PzIV. Three direct hits have eliminated the tank and the rest of the crew. Simultaneously, my attempt to break the deadlock in the northern buildings failed - with the loss of another T34. Now I have only two operating tanks. I misjudged the enemy forces - we were attacked by PzIV company supported by company of Panzergrenadiers. I ordered retreat, but it was too late. Over the next few minutes, my machine was repeatedly hit and eliminated from the fight. Tank fortunately didn't exploded or burn and we were able to evacuate from the destroyed vehicle. Ivan Stepanovich - my loader was fatally injured and stayed in the wreck, we left him with few R-1 grenades, I hope that he took with him as much as possible fascists... While retreating towards Migoyo I saw as our last T34 is destroyed in an unequal skirmish. From the whole battle group escaped only me, Starshina Sakon's team and three members of my crew. We destroy four enemy PzIV and one halftrack with 75mm gun.

Yes. 6 tanks

SITREP T1B PANZER BATTLE 7:01 After an unsuccessful assault on the forest, our depleted battle group has prepared an ambush on the road to Migoyo. Using lie of the land we taken a hull down positions for our T-34/76 tanks and prepared fire zones waiting for German tanks. We did not have to wait too long. At 7 am on the horizon appeared at least five enemy Pz IV, we also notice enemy trucks loaded with infantry. Sergant Oskin was the first who opened fire on enemy PzIV. First shot was to long, but second one hit and enemy machine starts burning. Now its time to take revenge for the fallen in the previous battle comerades! Few seconds later other T34's joined the fight. Enemy was totally surprised! His forces rubbed across entire width of the front and soon two PzIV apeered on the flank of Sgt Oskin tank. Lt Snegirev saw this move and managed to destroy one of this tanks, but second one fired on the move and knocked out Oskin's T34. One second later 76mm shell penetrated front armor of the triumphant enemy tank taking him out of action. For now, we have 1:3 kill ratio and battle continues...

так точно товарищ командир!

Who is in command now on the red side and what are my orders?

OK, I'll try to stop fascists or die trying! For Motherland

Hello, I'm on vacation so my turn rate will be much slower. I try to send at least one file per day.

I think that not all setup zone was visible by the opponent. Terrain has varied height and if I set up my forecs differently first minutes of battle would not have been so dramatic. A hard lesson for future.

FOREST BATTLE (0612) SITREP As soon as we entered a designated sector we found ourselves under accurate fire from hidden on the edge of the forest enemy assault guns. After a few minutes of the unequal struggle half of our tanks were on fire. We were able to recognize 4 StuG's, one of which we managed to destroy. Our tankers had big problems with tracking down enemy vehicles themselves being perfectly visible on the exposed area...

Still not started. I'm waiting for my opponent. Kohlenklau posted that my opponent should send first file today. I'll report when battle starts. Over and out.

Stug's in da wood's! "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday"

No. I have checked only overall outlook of the map in 3d mode. I assume that I start on the north (open) side of the map?

I looked at the map, penal company will be useful in woods. What are my orders?

I screwed up. I hurried too much and have to much casualities, Especially in 2nd Co. Long FOW tricked me, but that does not excuse me, I forgot that it's night and my troops need few more time to spot. I'm ashamed and have remorse abut my lost fellow comerades. I think some vodka my help...
