Turn 2 Action
Those who the Gods are about to destroy they first encourage to mock their opponents placement. The Stug is, of course actually a JgPzIV/70. During the course of the turn I lose 3 tanks, it goes like this;
Initially all seems well, my crack T34 fires first but the shell ricochets (uh oh) and the inf advancing towards me shows as a flamethrower distracting units who should be concentrating on the TD.
The TD takes out his first victim, and some sort of inf has appeared on the reverse slope.
This group of fanatics take out a T34 and are busy lobbing grenade bundles as they go down under a deluge of grenades and SMG fire, Iron Crosses all round and a timely reminder that this is the cream of the Wehrmacht we’re up against here.
The TD takes down victim No.2 bringing my losses to 3 T34’s, a sniper and a LMG squad with the dubious return of one AA halftrack, a half squad/TH team, and one HMG given a good pounding but still alive.
