Default T4

NF> Alls quite the depression is about 500m across with trees splitting, if the other side is empty will take up positions to exit across its width, if AI smoke is any indication may be enemy towards N end of.
CF> Scout can see part of next depression & is by it, a few units are taging along for the ride & 231s are exploring a line of trees as an aproach, slightly risky but high grass restricts view.
Scout at South end getsin place & a squad goes recieving fire, 233Fu routes him. Hes on L1 & we have some woods we can use, rest move up but will not be in position properly till following turn, my armour is closing fast to provide support.
SF> To many targets vehicles have to work some magic here or we will take loses, as it looks like no ATGs cover the depression concentrate fire here & once rout everyone troops move to see outcome. This produces another 3 squads one in the woods who by the end of the turn is the only ready unit.
Scout moves to level 1, big smile as discover grass & earth restrict nearly all view to 500m, order given & tanks roll up the road. My glea dies slightly when I realise half of the 8 squads here are using it as cover but we route2 & pinn 2. 4 tanks + same number of sqauds are at level 1 & we have taken no loses.
It is becoming obvious these Russians were not expecting this, no onslaught of fire is required they are folding easily especialy if we cast our minds back to the Greeks & how dogedly they continued to fight on. I am sure several will rally but they are only needing a little prompting to get their heads down.
spotters are flying NE this time for a look at if anythings heading for the smoke.
AIT> 1 squad loses 2 men but Russians lose there first squad
