Burning Tank Blocks LOS

[PoorOldSpike]

That was me v RNL in the thread starter pic, this is my panzer group at the other end of the long road, I deployed them in 2 line astern columns so that if one panzer burnt, its smoke wouldn't block the LOS of the other column.
(For the record I had 10x PzIVH's and a Hetzer here, and RNL had 6x T-34/85's and 2x Stalins at the far end of the road.
When the shooting stopped I'd lost 3x IV's and he'd lost 3x T-34's, about what you'd expect because a proportion of my shots were ricoing off the T-34 front hulls at that longish range.
One T-34 caught fire, I never planned it but lucky for me its oily smoke blocked the LOS of the 2x Stalins at the rear of his column)
PS none of mine burnt
