Turn 22

Enemy forces being pushed back in all sectors. Elements east of the South Woods have pushed into their deployment zone. One enemy take seen on the road, but it is an FT-17 with just a 7.5mm machine gun. There had been two other tanks on the road, but both were destroyed. One thing I'm finding very annoying is the enemy seems to smell when I plot counter battery because they are hitting my guns again.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: One FT-18 and FT-17 tanks destroyed and estimated 15 casualties.

Turn 23

In general, the rout seems to be on. A few enemy units are putting up resistance here and there, but most are running. Two enemy tanks showed up, but one was destroyed and another immobilized. I'm guessing those were reinforcements that came in. One flag was turned this turn. Looks like I have eight to go.

Enemy counter battery stopped again and for a change, mine had a chance to hit. I'm going to try to take out their on board stuff before I get to their back flag.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: One FT-17 tank destroyed and estimated 10 casualties.

Turn 24

Still a few spry enemy units left, but not many. One enemy squad ended up with one of my tanks. They traded shots, leaving the enemy unit routed. No enemy artillery this turn, but my counter battery is having is effective on the battery I targeted. One more enemy tank showed up and the immobilized tankd from last turn was destroyed.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: One FT-18 tank destroyed and estimated 20 casualties.

Turn 25

A few of my squads advancing through the woods stumbled into ambushes, but that was expected. I'm going to get out of the woods except in areas where it the shortest distance to a flag. I tore into other running enemy infantry units and destroyed another tank as well. They should be out of tanks, but I saw one Taczanka at the road intersection and took a few shots. I'll finish it next turn. One enemy infantry squad was bypassed and took a few shots at me from behind. That's a good way to die. I turned one more flag. Seven left.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.

Enemy: One FT-17 tank destroyed and estimated 30 casualties.

Turn 26

No ambushes this turn. A few die hards putting up resistance, but I'm pushing forward in all sectors. One spot where the enemy refugees are concerntated is on the east-west road just west of the interection. I'm moving tanks and infantry up and cutting them to pieces. The two infantry units that ambushed me last turn were hit back this turn. One I managed to manuever a tank to get some shots at. The other moved forward into another infantry squad I had the area, so the ambush was reverse. Two Taczankas were destroyed by tank machine gun fire. The enemy artillery came back to life, but is shelling places where I've been and not where I'm at.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 2 casualties.

Enemy: Two Taczanka SPAA units destroyed and estimated 20 casualties.

Turn 27

Lost one of my small tanks to an ambush in the woods. Without half tracks, I'm forced to send my infantry on foot through the woods and I don't have enough to clear them completely. I'm trying to keep my armor in supporting range, but obviously I missed one infantry unit. Two of my squads are lagging behind and they would actually have been the ones that would have cleared this area. Time is becoming a factor, so I have to be a bit more rash. I've got it won, but I want to get the decisive victory.

Casualties

Friendly: One PzKw IId tank destroyed and estimated 5 casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 20 casualties.

Turn 28

Found the infantry unit in the woods that destroyed my tank and clobbered it. My forces are pushing hard right now. I turned one more flag and am close to four more. There is only one left near the back edge of the map. I'm not sure I will get to that one. All my units south of the east-west road are heading northeast to towards the road, except one platoon which is set up to block any enemy trying to push west. I want to try to cut off the enemy retreating down the road. It seams like it's loaded with troops. One tank section left the infantry behind and is dashing for the road. If I can clear the road, my armored cars may still make it to that back flag.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero

Enemy: Estimated 20 casualties.
