RE: the brave Lieutenant
To update my other post - it turned out the T-34 was not even imobilazed and again tried to escape but this time my brave tank hunter got it, taking revenge for his dead comrades.
But here's even more heroic deed my russian Lt did in the last momens of the battle, when my opponent rushed the flags - I was holding a small flag with only one MG, Inf-Gun and HQ, my brave Lt was far ahead, hiding near a road junction to spy on the enemy movements. It was very calm area untill one Marder come into view and did some pot shots at the building where my Lt commanding the heavy weapons was residing. I quickly withdraw him and once the building colapsed the Marder comed into veiw of my gun. It was foggy but I decided to engage it at long range (170m), just after few shots I got lucky and scored several gun hits and the Marder stoped firing back. Meanwhile a single german half-squad tried to rush in my trench only to be gunned down by my MG and HQ. Unfortunately a moment later 81mm started to rain on my position, taking out my gun. So hoping my opponent droped his last inf reserve in this sector I decided to assault his TD with my Lt hiding at the road. He was not far away and after a quick dash he was in perfect position to throw his only grenade. But the damned Marder tried to move towards my flag and my brave Lt started to chase him. I don't know how he could keep pace with tracked vehicle in the snow but he somehow catched up with it and placed few bursts with his PPSh intro the crew compartment. My guy didn't even had the chance to throw his grenade when the shacken crew abandoned, sneaking for cover. Here the game ended, it was the final turn. The heroic deed of my Lt made the difference and the game resulted in draw.
