Imp is on a distinguished road
Default T15

TF> things are a lot quiter this turn though another maxim turned up qetting its quota of kills before succumbing, they are classed as my number one threat to be destroyed as soon as pos. My arty landed straight in the herded group so this should be easy as vehicles can route the guys on either side letting us move on
>> well they are in a fine mess go round them nah its the parting of the Red Sea as we cut a swath through them as well. I am sure a few have escaped & guns might open up but they are done for. HQ is at it again flaging down a motorbike & he is now the advance unit along with a MMG, they are sitting beside the road at the entrance to the next village waiting for runners, its going to be a blood bath.
Arty has done its job so its all on the move as have lost 2 already & CB seems to be having trouble finding a target.
CF> Won here getting the majority running for few losses though we are now taking fire from AAguns over a km away, saw some tanks somewhere not really bothered as not a great threat.
>>Things go better here than I expected make headway & nearly in a position to swing round the village, kill quite a few but have to be carefull of AAguns avoiding LOS where possible. Find one of those tanks its closer than I thought so a Mk3 & HT10 take it out, 2 other Mk3s are in position to possibly take on others & if not try there luck against the guns. On the other side of the village MMG & a couple of units are hosing down to keep this lot honest.
BF> Most units managed to evade the arty but 57 is history, in the centre about the 3rd squad to fire is some fanatic nut who soaked up all the fire from 8 units & still killed 3 men so yes we are in a bit of bother here as that left quite a few free to fire unopposed. It says they are normal rifle squads but even down South where fire was exchanged everyone but the maxim is alright only 2 are pinned out of more than a company which is not good. The OP truck was funny think it only took a couple of shots but it ended up driving round in circles trying to find a safe place to hide, its now back where it started.
>> Well this is ridiculous smoking & pulling back at about 400m 2 Mk3s & a Mk2 put 20 shots into him & MMG had a go finally pinning him, they are all staying put including a T-26 here that I can't target so hope is falling back means they will start moving again & become more vulnerable. Also they are getting to use the trees here so better cover. To the South it goes better but another toughie takes 3 sniper shots without blinking, 3 tanks & the platoon coming in from the West make there presence felt along with the support of a few other squads. Move towards the road getting the 5 squads here to shift & nearly killing the maxim. Get the OP truck several GazAAs & a T-26 leaving just 2 Gaz that I know about & a couple of squads.
