RE: Death's Head with Pawel
At the end, the German push was too much for Pawel, but he made it tough all the way.
As I crested the ridge in strength using smoke to look down into the village, I was able to hammer exposed Red forces. As I look at the score, I had a Minor and pushed it to a Major with my last lunge; however, I know I can't sustain it as the swarm of T34s and other Red armor is waiting to counterattack.
I look at the point spread and will give Pawel the satisfaction... Out of my normal measured move, I make the pell mell tactical rush for the village, seizing two VP hexes. I can't go any farther and the Red rush will undo the Major, but I don't think he can knock it down to a draw so I'll give him lots to shoot at for his last turn.
Exposed with little OPFIRE, the Red counterattack really does a number on my strung out German troops. Panthers burn in the village as they are hammered by the wave of Russian tanks.
I came to this point because I moved too slow the entire time. It's easy to do with the "snow" movement slowing the attack at every turn.
Pawel and I are becoming an item as we duke it out in our Team Game at Kursk. We're also following up with "The Battle is Joined"...
He's a tough opponent to face... Looking forward to many future battles with him...
