    First turn moving forward, while keeping suspected enemy troop concentrations busy with small 81mm gifts from above. With this visibility, we're sitting ducks if the Russians can muster antitank units... KV-1s we do not fear, as they sucketh at long ranges. :D

    Several KV-1 with infantry on top are seen north and south-center, along with KV-2s and KV-8s. KV-1s are expensive and slow! Less T-34s to worry about! :)

    Trained my gunners some, but at 25+ range, guns don't bite too well at 120mm of armor. I'm going for the psychological factor here!

    Flee before it's too late :p

    Status: offline     		Russian mortar fire catches up with the armored advance. After lots of shouting and name-calling over the radios, the company commander gets everyone focused and we outrun the barrage.

    No kills, but ATGs on overwatch open fire at the approaching behemoths. Lots and lots of *FRONT TURRET HIT* and *FRONT HULL HIT*. Bet those guys need some vodka for their nerves by now! :D

    So far, Jess is down a KV-2 platoon and a couple of his KV-1 crews is probably on the verge of breaking. I hope. :p

    We're close to the north and south VH clusters. The central one is taken by infantry escorted by several platoons of KV-1. It's those guys that are getting all the attention right now.

    Status: offline     		Them farmers are everywhere. :rolleyes:

    Battle erupts as Panzers race up the slopes of the northern VH hill, capturing them just before Russians get there. The russians climbing up the opposite side fire at point-blank range :eek:, but are fended off for the moment. Two KV-2s and a KV-1 lay smouldering at the hillside along with numerous dead infantry.

    A KV-1 scores Russian first tank kill by a spec op fire. :mad:

    In the south, advance on the VH cluster continue. a KV-2 platoon is put under fire from Panzers and SiGs, decrewing one. :p

    Artillery fire put some hurt on the reds, while they are zeroing in on one of our mortar squads.

    Teehee. I guess you leave it to me to say that you lost 3 more KVs during your turn? ;)

    Advance on the south VH cluster continues (it's a forested hill between us and them), making all seen infantry run. A KV-8 is out camping when bullets and shells come flying from all directions over the hill. The crew decides it's safer outside, but is ripped apart by the bullet storm as they try to escape. :)

    In the center two platoons of KV are still approaching, and one of them is really quick on the trigger. He's taken some 20 hits by now, but given half a chance he will snap off a shot. That's the spirit! :)

    North: Tank battle! :eek: We have secured the VH hill, but russian tanks in company strength is on the plain below, loaded with HMG, infantry and whatnot. KV-2s are easy targets, but the KV-1 imps are a different story. We expend all our ammo to the tune of *boink* *binnk* *boinnk*.... and to make matters worse, Olga is catching up from behind.

    Everyone's still alive, though. Good thing Russian target practice has been neglected! Except for being a target practice themselves, that is! :D


    This is turn 5, so reinforcements may be called in! I have already sent a request for a guy with some good maps a decent radio... :rolleyes:

    Status: offline     		KV's do have limitations. A thick hide does not guarantee success on the battlefield. I'll guess I'm gonna be chewed up and spit out once Jess' 1000000 T-34s appear... :rolleyes:


    HOLY COW! :eek: The ENTIRE Olga mortar park hit our positions on the northern hill! From two tanks there can be heard nothing but faint, whining sounds coming from the inside, sounding like "Mutter!" The rest of the company surges forward, pushing infantry and tanks before them. The KVs are now in a nice rout, and we send them some more Wehrmacht love on their bidding adieu. :p

    In the south, a KV-2 that tried to hide behind a cavalry smoke screen is picked off with a single round. :cool: A PzBuchse team decides to take on a KV-8. Whooo brave guys! And they actually hit! ATRs usually have the accuracy of a blind rat...

    Better make the most of this while we can. Russian reinforcements will be nasty, no doubt! ;)

    Status: offline     		We're not in battle up north - we're at the gunnery range. :D No KV trophy this turn, but Jess needs to ask STAVKA for a new infantry company. ;)

    Down south, the situation quickly turned ugly with the appearance of OLGA and a platoon of KV-1. Olga does hurt when shes mad. :eek: To add insult on top of injury, our 105 crews divided their targets equally between ourselves and the enemy. Study-the-godd*mn-map-coordinates! :mad: I will see to it that the commander is stripped of rank and sent to the front....with a huge target board strapped to his back.

    Status: offline     		At this moment, we control the battlefield, at least until the inevitable appearance of Jess' T-34s. :)

    A KV-2 is quickly picked off as it was still capable of lobbing shells our way, and our sharp-eyed gunners killed a fleeing KV-1 from a range that should be safe for any of those green monsters. We're still clearing up that inf. company in the north, Lt Hoffmann now has 7 confirmed kills - in 8 turns.

    A bronze Close Assault badge is awarded in the south, as a Grenadier squad goes "Rambo" on a KV-1, killing the tank and maybe also the infantry on it - they disappeared. :confused: We call in some artillery to soften up resistance around that area. We're close to the VHs, but it feels like miles away.

    Olga comes back and kills some of her own kind. Ha-ha.

    Status: offline     		Getting the feeling that I'm overshooting myself in the north. A KV-2 parked in an orchard comes to life, making a PzIV crew bolt their ride. :eek: In retaliation, we FINALLY kill a KV-1 that's been routed for the last 4 turns and has about 50 dents in it's armor. We added a huge hole to it. :) We see a "new" KV-1 lurking in the woods... we're not done here, apparently. Time to consolidate our positions.

    Yeah, I bet you want me to come marching down in the center! :D KV-8s are in plenty there, along with a company of infantry. We told the guys at the artillery park that they got a new target. :cool: StuG kills a hiding KV-1 with a flank shot.

    Pushing back Ivans in the south. A KV-2 dies to a skill shot from our ATG line, and infantry occupy two VHs.

    So far we lost 5 PzIV, while Jess is losing tanks at the rate of 2-3 per turn. Problem is, he can afford it.

    Status: offline     		We're still holding the advantage. All "front" VHs are now in our hands. Not much difference this turn, we shoot about a million shells, most of them strike home. Unfortunately, those KVs are thickheaded bastards so the score for this turn is a single KV-8 that finally succumbed to a Pak. Guess it was metal fatigue that finally set in. :p

    In the north, we spot AUX units, some T-34s and a truck with a church organ bolted to the bed. Beyond opfire range for the T's, but we fail to hit. Golden opportunity gone! Smoke layed to rob Jess a chance of free shooting as I had three PzIV lined up....

    South sees total dominance as we rout some thirsty russians looking for our schnapps supply. Good thing, they were kind enough to lay out a smoke screen on their parting. Now we've got that flank covered. :) Also, some HMGs die both north and south. Those are d*mn hard to spot so I'm happy to see them go.

    Status: offline     		Russian reinforcements pour into the battlefield. We see 7 T-34s, and at 69p each, that's it I guess. :) Too little too late we hope, but Jess makes good use of their mobility. Another upside of the KVs - you always know where you've got them. Heh heh.

    The vodka boys are still eager to fight, both center and south so we mow them down. Come get some, heh heh heh. :p A baffled SiG33 crew sees an infantry squad trying to sneak past them in an open field. :eek: BOOM BOOM....

    Need to move some rear weaponry to the front - we're not running low on equipment, but ammo is starting to be a concern to us. :(

    Vodka lovers are still holding positions on the hill just east of the central VH cluster, so we send them some more 122mm love. Olga regains conciousness and hammers a PzIV platoon. Hope they still got sense to strike the T's...

    Status: offline     		Whaddya mean "no better than the Ks"...? They're doing alot better so far, in my opinion. :p

    Ofcourse, two of them are burning now and a third is missing a crew! :D Our initial assesement proves wrong; there's at least NINE T-34 out there, counting the three dead ones. I suspect there's one or two more on top of that...still - too little too late I hope.

    On the downside, we note a loss due to stupid bravery in the south :( A KV is immobilized behind a ridge, a$$ towards us, without any LOS. It's no threat at all to us. In lack of better targets, I send a PzIV over the ridge to put it out of it's misery. It opfires (no surprise)....and BAILS THE GODDMN CREW! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    The tab's on me, evidently! Free giveaways! ;)
