Infantry against armour

STUG GETS SATCHELLED
This time my tanks are on the receiving end in an ongoing game against Marshall yesterday..

PIC 1 - My Stug and 2x Pz III's press home an attack against the flag,racing through a gap in the trees. I suspect there may be Russian infantry lurking among the trees but I'm hoping my tanks on 'Fast' will be through the gap before they have time to start throwing stuff.
However, Marshall daringly runs his pioneer squad with the tanks (along direction of small arrow)so's they can't get away..




PIC 2 - My tanks then sit in what I hoped would be a temporary safe area well away from trees to engage a T-34 before pushing on to the flag, but the pioneer squad arrives in position and hurls a satchel charge (sailing through the air along dotted line) at my Stug..
(Note the range is only 28 metres, well within the 40 metres lethal throwing zone of infantry, I knew I was taking a risk but hey, that's war)
BTW the grid is 20 metre squares,it helps judge distance and see contours better, I always use it.




PIC 3 - Kaboom, the charge explodes and its goodbye Stug..
