...Command has great faith in your ability to get things done, as proven in earlier battles. Your subordinate tankers are slightly nervous you will lead them straight into eternity.  |
While keeping this in mind I assembled my forces and headed off to Artemouka to the west to liberate it form the enemy.
I had know doubt I would liberate the town but wondered how many of the troops would indeed be sent to eternity.
Fighting the Germans ,some surely would.
As I got toward the city center a German pak 40 opened up taking out a tank, the crew managed to all escape. As I pressed toward the victory hex just ahead hidden enemy positions revealed themselves, and T-34's were destroyed one after the other. Enemy artillery also was hitting us at this point.
As well as German air power.
Check attachment for sceenshot of the carnage.
Screenshot was taken some time after the battle occured.
At this point in the battle I got all remaining armored units headed south away from that area. I was panicked at this point because I didnt know what was in the buildings ahead.
I knew it probably wasn't good.
The remaining forces crashed through a couple lines of defense,losing another unit each time. Capturing a couple
victory hexes in the process.
The 120 mortars managed to destroy a few german artillery units.
Then a few more victory hexes were captued,though much easier.
Lost a few more tanks right near the end.
I sent you the savegame files.
Nice scenario ,thank you for putting it together.
