A Strong Response - DAR

[Ratzki]

I am hanging on by a thread where he is pushing with most of his forces. I manage to rally squads, but as quick as I am able, more panic. One platoon is pinned and not moving, being shot at by Russian tanks and infantry. If they do not get moving soon I will lose the whole platoon. I can't afford to do that.
My men do manage to stop the Russians from cutting off my platooon on the far right. Again, just barely. If the enemy had another one or two squads ther, I would not have been successful. The shooting is very heavy now across my front lines. So far I seem to be holding, but there is no way that I can take too much more pressure, without taking some sreious losses.
On my left, I pull off a good ambush. His men were caught in the open, and my guys with short arcs were able to stop the enemy advance in it's tracks. The problem here is that if he comes at me throew the trees with a large force, I have a whole lotta open ground to cover in order to get out of the way. Plus it will be just a turn or two before the Russian tanks move into position here and start hammering away with HE. I know that I will not be able to stand that for long. I will keep this platoon here for now, but for how long,.... I don't know.
