"Come back here ya coward, it's only a flesh wound..." SFS Round 2 Sitrep Thread!!

[Oberst]

Sitrep: Turn 8 Fighting continues Krupki area:

South of the factory complex action has subsided. German inf patrols where driven back and a foolhardy mortar HT trying to relocate itself became mired with a broken axle and became an easy victim to tank fire.
On the Eastern outskirts of Krupki, tank fire eliminated an isolated mg unit. The primary action this turn was concentrated along the Eastern flanks of the hill N of Krupki. Following a heavy arty barrage on the German strongpoint known to contain an 88 mm battery and a Tiger plt, once the smoke screen lifted, only the Tiger plt was revealed. Four plts of Shermans had advanced within several hundred meters under cover of the smoke and now let loose. At that range even the Tiger is vulnerable as 3 sp's where evaporated. A solitary 88 mm sp responded but was quickly dispatched by assisting tank fire. I decided to close assault the disrupted Tiger but failed. There must be another hidden unit in the strongpoint. More tank fire drove off the Tiger and now advancing to the strongpoint reveals an inf unit & officer. A barrage of tank fire eliminates the inf unit but the officer resists all attempts of elimination. He must be an ex-SS soldaten.
More to follow.
