Meanwhile!!! This picture is taken at the exact moment the grenade explodes. you can see up near the top.
I have followed through with an advance up the center of the objective. Sweeping up the remaining germans from the barrage from the 81mms. I am establishing flanking firing positions on the buildings still occupied on the top of the objective.
My gunless sherman has made a hard point for my rifle units to advance to to try and pressure the germans from the front.. I have lost about ten guys trying to take the shade tree but I sure at this point that there are no anti take weapons with the machine guns. At this point I realize I had been shooting at fixed points intsead of allowing the AI to fight!!! I make a hasty decision to lean towards valor and decide to park my good tank under the tree and make paste of the guy who fragged my homeboys.
On the move and making the krouts scram
over the top view.
Got there! and I'm feeling like I got this whole operation on wraps. I marked where I command my tank to advance.
At this point in the battle my opponent sends me an image of what he is staring down.
