Ratzki's DAR vs 107thCav

[Ratzki]

Well, after all that trouble of getting my guys out of his LOS, I catch a bad break. I get one large HE tree burst directly over my HQ's head and he goes PANIC. 107th is blasting away at a spot near my men with area fire from every unit that has LOS. Under normal conditions, I would be able to ride it out, but with no HQ, it does not take long and two of my squads start to explore the map with all the grace of a couple of headless chickens. Towards the end of the turn, even my HQ starts to sneak away. Lets pray that he get's out of the effects of the area fire before he BREAKS like the other two and strikes out across the map.

The T-34 gets to take one shot, and guess what?... It takes out my R-35. This makes for two bad breaks in one turn. He only got LOS for a short time, and if I could have moved a bit farther, would have been safe. Apparently, bad breaks come in threes, so all that is left is for my FO to drop smoke somewhere that I don't want, or one of my Pz's to shoot a friendly.

At least my smoke lands well. I am going to play it safe and only advance with the Romanian platoons. After this turns events I am going to shift my attention from the town to the two flags over by the Jager platoon, and will bring my pioneers in for support.
