I am your host Bob and with me always is Dick my good friend. Let us begain with a quick discription of the senario as it unfolded. Up north Captain Tatro had ploted artillary to land before his advance. Very key in combined arms assualts. This netted him 3 KV-1S's to Assualts from his Rangers. Next accross the map Captain Tatro continued to use his tatics of moving infantry forward one hex and fireing at the lightly armored BA-11's and SU-57's, then moving M8 Greyhounds, M15A1's M3A1 Halftracks and 50 Cal Jeeps up to finish off the suppressed units. This netted Captain tatro another 4 BA-11's and 2 more SU-57's. In the middle of the map Captain Tatro had ploted his 8'Inch OBA to land on some T34/85's and IS-1's hidding in some woods last turn. And low and behold they did not move and got blasted. With all three T34/85's and 2 other IS-1's routed or retreating Captian Tatro ran up his Rangers in halftracks and move in his M4's and finished off all three T34/85's and one of the IS-1's. His assualt group also found a platoon of Russuan Guards all routed in the woods, they were quickly sent running. After all of this the assualt group droped a TON of smoke to try to prevent/protect from a counter strike. Which might be coming from a very large tank force from the North. In the Southern Part of the map a different story is unfolding. Here Captain Boro is moving in force with a least two full companies of T34 m.43 imps loaded with Tankodesantniki. These companies also are supported by a couple of platoons of IS-1's and BA-11's. Captain Tatro saw this force and desided that prudence is the better part of valor and droped about 20 thousand tons of artillary shells on this huge armor cluster. Well Bob this just in an exclusive interview with Captian Tatro. Here he is, Captain Tatro can you tell us, "how do you think the battle is going?" "Very well Dick, I am a little worried about that Southern contingent but hopfully the American artillary will pull through for me." "Captain can you give a quick analysis of the battle so far, basically what you think have been your opponents mistakes and yours as well?" "Sure Dick, well as far as my mistakes I feel that I am using up to much of my smoke to early in the battle. At this rate I will be out of smoke well before the battle is half way through. Also this last turn I got a little gready and left some units exposed. " "As for Captain Boro, I a loath to give him pointers on where I am taking advantage of him but I will give a quick analysis. First I quickly noticed that Team Russia had a Huge amount of armor. This lead me to believe that Captian Boro went light on his Infantry. Which is ok, if you can keep the well armored and larger bored Russian tanks at range and pluck away at your attackers as they rush you but does not work well if your opponet gets his infantry in close. I noticed that even though there was a lot of armor there was very little in the way of infantry sightings and no halftracks. Also for some reason Captain Boro has left Huge tank forces out in the open without any cover. Just sitting in the road or fields. Strange, because the only times I leave any unit out in the open is when I feel there is no way for my opponet to get to them. Captain Boro also leaves units and men in the same place turn after turn even when he knows that they have been spoted. Well that is all the time we have for today, join us next time as we interview Captain Boro. This is Bob Henderson signing off.
