First & Last Stand

Turn 3
Panzer Division Clausewitz situated 40 kms NW of Berlin at Leuenberg is ordered to make a stand at this location to defend to capital of the Reich from the mass ranks of Russains situated in the area. The division is well supplied with armour, but much of it has been recovered from battlefields from all over Europe and repaired. Some of the panzers still bear the scars where AT rounds have struck them and they have been hastily repainted inside. This hardly gives there present crews a great deal of confindence. The crews and soldiers of this division are comprised of old men and young boys, with a few veterans scattered amongst them. Many of these have been wounded in the recent past or are a still carrying their injuries with them into this final battle. With these old men and boys we have been ordered to stop the Russians. "Gott Mit Uns" (God is with us)
Stirring speeches have been made and the soldiers know what is being asked of them. The Russians must be stopped here no matter what the sacrifice, their women and families are depending on them.
In the early morning light the the unmistakable sound of Russian armour can be heard and the men and boys of the division shiver with nervous tension at the approach of the inevitable.
Shortly after first contact is made after a barrage of artillery fire from the Russians, the Panzers inflict some losses amonst the JSII's but more and more are seen moving in the distance. It isn't too long before our brave soldiers and panzers are also taking losses. No matter we must stand firm even if this is to be the last stand of our Division. As I look into the distance the long cannons of the JSII's are training towards us explosions are all about us, bits of bodies are flying through the air. Men are being cut
to pieces by maching gun, fire armegeddon is upon us.


Turn 4
The cannons of the JSII's and the rockets of the Stalin Organs have been cutting to pieces the forward entrenched troops of the Division. They are are simply no match for this mass firepower of the Red tide we see before us. With little artillery to support then, General Clausewitz orders the withdrawal of these elements of the Division into the town of Leuenberg, where they must hold at all costs. This is where the main thrust of the Soviet attack appears to be aimed. On either flank at the moment there appears to be nothing more than probing attacks. Thankfully many "fausts" have been issued to the division. Not one more step back is the order now, this is where we stand.
