THE MALITZ TROPHY COMPETITION

[PoorOldSpike]

RESULT JUST IN - RNL Tiger beats POS

This endgame shot shows final front lines (Russian brown, German blue), and the number and type of of AFV's each side bought. The yellow figure denotes number destroyed.

Both sides had 6 tanks and traded them one-for-one for most of the game as RNL attacked and secured the airfield at background, then swung towards the town centre, compressing my Russians into a small perimeter around the church.
Then his lone Hetzer (near bottom flag) took the stage and singlehandedly killed my last two T-34's to notch up enough points to gain a minor win, proving Guderians adage - "If the tank succeeds, the victory follows"




My 5 dead T-34's attest to the tremendous pressure RNL exerted on the ville, they died in their tracks to keep the flag red..




RNL's hero of Malitz Unteroffizier Peltz in his Hetzer, last surviving tank of the battle..
