I regret to advise that we have suffered a serious reversal in the North Battle in the last minute of play. My bold gamble, ah, did not play out as I'd hoped. The plan was to run 2 T-70s to try and get the last 2 flags. I had all other units hold or advance, basically waiting for the clock to end
However, the evil fascists had other plans!
A T-34 and my T-70 HQ tank brew up by a previously un-sighted gun. It must be a 75mm or better by the way they blew up with one hit. The next turn I lose that second T-70. Cargol played it perfectly, letting some T-70s go by until a T-34 came into sight. We'll have to see how it all shakes out as to how many flags we get to keep, and how much infantry I lose. Very disappointing!
