Status: offline 		This is going to be interesting. The Brits have Fireflies and all kinds of other sharp shooting hardware. The Soviets have good ol' T34. The kicker is that most of the map is covered in woods so it may turn out to be an infantry and flamethrowers ruled game.

Only some minor harms in bombardments before first turn and smoke layed by Brits.
Red have Katyushas, I have 8inchers.:D

This should be very interesting.
Your turn red.

I lost some commandos and you lost some partisans in the nearby of northern VH's.
One scouting T-70 was killed also and I almost lost one of my beautiful halftrack.:)

Your turn red.

Status: offline 		Thats affirmative about a lost UK halftrack, as partisans get shot at by HT and infantry squad, OT-34 moves in for a kill frying the halftrack. Infantry squad flees but is finished by a scout car. T-70 gets shot at by AA position but manages to get away. Soviet scout car is destroyed on approach to vhexes. Lets see how those Fireflies like flamethrowers at close range :mad:

Status: offline 		This was a very successful round for Soviets. Partisans discover an ATG postion up north. In the central sector 3 Fireflies get eliminated and couple of infantry squads get chased off by T-34s supported by partisans and bazookas. Soviets lose a scout car to a side hit from a Firefly. The crew of the Firefly downed last turn gets mopped up along with a mortar on the same hex. All known commandos are eliminated in the northern sector, they didn't like OT-34 too much. In the south advancing partisans spot a Firefly, Sherman II and a truck carrying 17-lb ATG. The truck is burnt and ATG suppressed. Soviet T-70 is killed on approach and T-34 attempts to outduel the Firely with partisans providing smoke to cover it from another ATG postion further west. T-34 survives the duel but doesn't finish Firefly so it may be toast next round. Scout car loaded with two Bazooka teams approaches the western ATG postion taking 50 cal. fire and Bazookas finish the ATG off.

Losing three fireflies on a single turn is a big loss..:( :(

In the south T-34, T-70 and couple of 57mm ATguns were destroyed from Russians. Infantry casualties again to both sides.
Back to you Red!

Status: offline 		Soviets advance in the south pitting M10 Wolverines and T34s supported by partisans and bazookas against Firefly, Sherman II, Wasp(flamer), AA HT and remaining 17lb atg. Having distracted all of the above with partisans, bazookas and scout cars, M10 and T34s move in and finish them off except for the atg which is barely there. In the center AA position is eliminated by partisans and 2 T-34s double up on a lonely Firefly nearby bringing it down.
After that both sides exchange devastating barrage of heavy artillery and rockets.

Status: offline 		It looks like I have a little trouble with those T-34's...or not so little.:(
Anyway, I'm retreating in the middle and there's about whole company of T-34's pushing forward behind me.
We'll see what happens...

Only Russian casualties this turn was some partisans, T-70 and one decrewed OT-34.Not good.

It looks like I'm soon in troubles with those T-34's in the middle...they are dangerously getting closer to my rear VH's.

4 or 5 destroyed Russian tanks and 1 or 2 immobilized.
I lost some infantry, but I'll probably suffer with heavy casualties of your next turn.

Status: offline 		In the south one of my halftracks was destroyed by Wolverine.After that it was eliminated by Sherman.
One T-34 on the southern hill was killed by infantry assault.
Behind that same hill, not so far, British SAS squad met Soviet HQ.
Few moments later it was dispersed.

In the middle one OT-34 was assaulted and killed.
In the north, small infantryfights between partisans and commandos.

At the end of the turn British 8inchers killed quite a lot of mens from both sides and one more Wolverine was destroyed by 4.2mortar, lucky shot :)

Couple of Russian AUX -units was spotted also in the east...

Russians Katyusha barrage made bad ruin on my artypark and caused a lot of supression.

This far this have been very brutal and straightforward fight ;)

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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.

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.

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

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!;)
