Colonel Talvela's gun gets sniped..
Main pic -my sniper in the building lets fly..
Inset left - uncannily reminiscent of the Zapruder footage, the high-vel round goes clean through the gun commander and probably hits another crewman too. (the crew graphic split into two like that at the instant of impact)
Inset right - The gun is abandoned a second later (the other crewman graphic vanished)

John B50's Panther shrugs off Sherman 75mm attack..
Main pic - while the Panther (which is green-crewed) is shelling the church I order my Sher to race fast to the tip of the arrow and shoot him in the back, hehe..
Inset - the Sher arrives neatly at the firing point with turret pre-set to 3 o' clock and fires twice but both ping off the Panths turret front!
The Panth fires back a second later and wrecks the Sherman (sniffle)..

Colonel Talvela's flame guy deals with panzer once and for all..
This is my 'miracle panzer' which survived zooks and stuff earlier on but no way can he survive this hot blast up his tailpipe

John B50's halftrack and Brit 2" mortar kill each other..
The mortar started shelling the halftrack and drew return fire, including from the squad in the building. The mortar was hit and killed a split-second before its shell knocked out the halftrack..

My two Shermans at bottom centre were driven back by RNL's remorselessly-advancing tide of German infantry..

This is May 45 and most Ger squads have the lethal panzerfaust 60 and 100 (60m and 100m range) so Allied tanks have to keep a respectable distance from those babies..
