Hi,
Turn 6-20:
The fight started!
UK fired 3 inches mortars on soviet forces: few soldiers get hit.
Some infantry units are encountered but quickly eliminated by soviet forces.
Soon, engineers discovered few mines placed by the UK.
Fighting in the wood is hard.
However, through judicious use of mortars, losses are limited to ten men; mostly RECCE units...
Unfortunatly, a IS-3 is immobilised during the fight.
UK mortars (smoke) are located. Soviet 122mm, 152mm and Il-10 are ordered.
SURPRISE! 6 pdn AT guns fired at our tanks: T-34/85BTU and a IS-3 are dommaged.
Soviets halt their advance, order air support and bring some reinforcements to keep the ground.
Several UK units are in the center of the map and we dont want to be surrounded by them.
The RECCE plane, after several uses, is hit...
Thank you!
