At the 100 point flag in the center of the map the mini-battle continues to rage. Joonny's AT team managed to kill Ratzki's HQ which had a foothold in the light house. So Ratzki pulls out his big gun and blows the house down. Now the German team is dead too. But the only Russians in the area are two AT teams. The closest team to the house is broken and cannot take the flag.
At town center, Ratzki is sending what's left of his infantry across the street and into the Germans last holdout where the central 300 point flag is. The Russians are getting pinned and bruised pretty good, but the flag now looks neutral.
At the Northern corner of the same block, the last surviving Russian soldier of a regular Pioneer squad pitches his last grenade, and, as if written for a dramatic hollywood movie, kills a German stug...
The soldier's name? Chuck Norrislov...
To the North, Ratzki is sending every man in fighting shape to get Joonny's struggling Panther there. Ratzki is sending his men out of the house and into the rocks, where they crawl towards the tank. The Panther has managed to kill two remnants of squads but has become immobilized - no more backing away....
