sandman(UK) vs red(SU) , 7'44

[red]

Having their HQ eliminated the previous turn didn't slow the Soviet advance. UK infantry proves to be to tough to crack in the attempt tp secure all southern vhexes so some arty support is ordered. Noerthern vhexes seem secure for now but they have seen massive infilitration before. Soviet tanks and infantry are on the prowl for UK armor.

More of the same as before, Russian Wolverine and T-34 eliminated in nearby of my rear VH's.
Back to you Red.

[red]

Armor clashes in the central and nprthern sectors: in the center partisans discover a roadblock consisting of 2 Sherman II's and a Firefly, braving the op fire a couple of infantry squads and bazooka team distract the Brits afetr which a Wolverine moves and finishes Sherman and Firelfy off from behind. In the north Soviet armro incurs losse as it runs into 2 Fireflies supported by 40mm AA gun postion: Soviets lose T-34, Wolverine and 2 scout cars in exchange for one Firefly. Another Firefly gets several hits so it may be out of commision. Elsewhere Soviets continue to clean up miscellaneuos UK infantry.

[sandman20]

Not much happened this turn.
I just tried to clean my rear areas and succeeded to kill one Wolverine and several Partisans.
There's still at least one T-34 lurking somewhere, didn't found it, but it's possible that there's more Russians, I don't know....:rolleyes:

Only some small firefights in the middle and in the south.

[red]

Similarly to my opponent's last turn, I killed a Sherman hiding in my area of control and cleared out several infantry squads. In the north, Soviets regroup.

[sandman20]

Quiet turn, mostly organizing and rallying my troops.
Some Soviet vehicles was assaulted, but every attempt failed.

Russian forces are dominating.

[red]

Soviets continue to clean up their area of control awaiting for the next British move.

[sandman20]

Not much again. I lost one halftrack in exchange of Skaut car.

Barrages from both sides at the end of turn and at least couple of Soviet mens lose one's lives.

[red]

Soviet forces pull "crazy Ivan" and throw an armor group in frontal attack at the British rear vhexes. All or nothing

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!

[sandman20]

Two of my tanks was decrewed and others was stunned after Russians attack in the nearby of British rear VH's.
British infantry squad succeeded only to immobilize one T-34 at this turn.
We can say that Russian assault was succesfully complete there.

Both sides have lost about 20 important tanks so far but Russians still have a lot of them alive...
Russian Partisans are so much cheaper than British Airborne and Commando Squads, so Russians can spent some points and buy some extra tanks
Not good for me...

I'm in big troubles now but maybe I can keep the fight alive couple of more turns.
I think Red's tactics have been much better than mine.
Good work Red!;)
