My men are giving out some hurt to the Russian hordes, but there are more then they can take care of. First, one of my squads panic then another breaks. It is the combination of infantry fire and the fact that the Russian tanks are able to join in. On top of this, some enemy squads look like they are heading for the hole in my lines (marked with the !! on the picture).
I now find myself trying to pivot my whole front lines about 90 degrees and at the same time slide out of the LOS of the Russian tanks. I am bringing up the Company HQ in order to allow me to move the squads that are not broke into better positions and still have an HQ that can rally the squads that I might otherwise lose.
At the same time I am pulling my platoon on my right back so that they can plug the hole in my defensive lines as well as stay in contact with my main force. If they get isolated, they will be much more vulnerable to being eliminated by superior Russian numbers. If these Russians are SMG squads, I might be in deeper trouble then I am prepared for.
My ATR's are plinking away at the enemy tanks. Range seems good, I will need a little luck to get a kill. I think that next orders turn I will take the arcs off them and target the tanks that I can see. If these are Conscript or Green tanks, maybe hitting them more often might influence them to bail out sooner rather then later.
