RE: Tales of Brave Sir Robin . . . SFS ROUND 3 Sitrep Thread!
Turn 6
On the outskirts of Leuenberg the battle rages, vicious hand to hand combat is taking place with every house fought over. Every inch of ground that the Russians take is at great cost in their manpower, but is also not without loss to our own division. Many of our old veterans and young boys will walk this earth no more, they have done their duty to the fatherland. Into town some JSII's have rumbled, belching out thick clouds of black diesel smoke, as if this is not enough, Russian artillery is firing smoke shells everywhere and you can hardly see your hand in front of your face. Then out of the smoke what appears to be the ghosts of men come into sight and the deadly MG 42's do their work cuttting down these ghosts before they can do harm to our soldiers or panzers.
In the suburbs these great lumbering beasts of Stalin tanks are not as effective as in open country and some easily fall victims to the many panzerfausts our brave grenadiers have at hand.
You have to admire these grenadiers as they lay coolly in wait for these beasts and when all seems lost, open fire at ranges of less than 30 yards. Many Iron crosses should be won today
It's become increasingly clear Leuenberg is the main objective of the Red Army, It seems everywhere else there is no activity at all. A trickle of reinforcements arrived, but will almost certainly be thrown into battle piecemeal
Mein Gott! we must stop them somehow.
