Ratzki's DAR vs 107thCav

[Ratzki]

My ATR team takes up position but gets pinned as soon as it targets the T-60, the incomming fire does not last long and he manages to squeeze off a couple of shots and makes contact with one hit. The T-60 is slowly turningcounterclockwise and for a moment I fear that he has located the ATR but it keeps rotating past. If it keeps up I will have a better chance to kill with the ATR. More of his infantry join in at the party in the one woods tile. And none of his squads ever seems to come out or fire, they just dissappear into the woods. I will deal with these T-60s first, then will fill the woods with some HE.

Just as the turn comes to an end my Pz makes it to the edge of the tree cover. I may have pushed him a little far forward as he gets into LOS of both T-60s. There is a small chance of the T-60 knocking out the Pz but not much, hopefully they will turn tail and run. The ATR team will take on the near T-60. I am moving up a Pz on the other side of the hill that will cut off their escape.

Here is an overview of the situation at present. This is the right hand side of the map showing Group C and my Pz's. Most of his infantry(Yellow) is contained now by the 2nd Romanian platoon, a couple HMG's just out of sight, and my armour. I am at odds at the moment what to do. On one hand I want to work on wiping out this force in the trees near the flag on the hill. I know where he is, for the most part and this would finish the game for him. On the other hand, I want to eliminate the platoon in the church and the other 2 flags on the left of the map. With these flags in my control and his platoons in shambles, I should have enough time to deal with the rest of his force. He has enough units, and position now that I will need my armour to dig him out. I just do not know if I have the time or ammo to do either, and here I thought he would be armour heavy and the other has occured, a couple good passes with that air support and a bit of luck on his part could change everything fast.

The left side of the battlefield is relatively calm and I am content to sit for a couple turns till my armour gets here to lend a hand. I want to deal with the ATGun and the armoured car and get my infantry into the fight from a little closer range. I will wait for the one Romanian platoon to come back online then will be ready to take the church.
