I've been lucky getting the East side of the map with two large hills that dominate whole the area.

No contact so far.

Heavy mortars respond, chewing up the hill, but failing to hit anything.

We'll have none of that --

Lets see if we can smoke them out

More smoke rounds fall on the northern hill.

Status: offline 		The PZIIIs are engaged at close range, but the Russian armor proves unable to make a hit at only 50 meters. :confused:

The performance is totally unacceptable and a NKVD company has been dispatched from Moskva to investigate the morale. Unless the performance improves over the next turns, decimation may become an acceptable option to "boost" morale. :mad:

The nationalists continues their strategy of hanging around, waiting for the russians to make a run for it into the killing zone.

-- But what happened to the killing zone go :D

A Spanish thrust to the north of the battle field is intercepted and a PZIII must die and another take damage to the hull.

In the center, a Spanish squad is destroyd together with an AT squad whilst another AT squad flees into the woods.

Several more Russian tanks are destroyed, including a flame tank and one T-34. :D

Those pesky mortars also catch some 105mm counterbattery fire.

Status: offline 		The Spanish general must be highly congratulated on his ability to exploit the control of the high ground and the exceptional marksmanship of the German PZIIIs. :eek:

Under the cover of the high ground and forced by the smoke hanging in the hills, the German panzer pushes forward in the centre. It is now obvious that the Spanish army is actually composed of a strong german Armoured force, backed by the Luftwaffe and a handful of Spanish suicidal guys with anti-tank mines. :confused:

The Soviet force is splintered, its thrust in the south is eliminated and it is time to regroup. :(

Will the Germans and their Spanish hang-arounds manage to over run the Soviet force before those bastard NKVDs appear?

There is plenty of Spanish infantry out there. You just haven't seen it yet. :p

German armor advances in the south, killing another T-34 and one T-60. Other tanks, in the center and north, play target practice with some distant T-34s. But they fail to get any kills, even with top and rear hits. :(

I also see a couple KVs now. :eek: Hopefully thats all they have.

The improvement in the Soviet markmanship is significant as 4 PZIIIs and a JP are destroyed and more left damaged or immobilised. :D :D

In the aftermath of the morning battle a flame tank is lost to a Spanish 105 direct hit. :(

The Russian army regroups with a worry on what the day will bring once the Spaniards have eaten their paella. :confused:

Not much else going on at the moment.

Where has all the Panzers gone :p

The Russians have destroyed many of my tanks and put me on the defensive. Now though, they seem afraid to finish the job. Or is this a new tactic? Trying to bore the enemy to death maybe? :p

Status: offline 		The Soviet Armour continues to wear down the force of the Spaniards. :cool:

The once victorious Spanish army and its German allies appears to ahve lost leadership as another infiltrating squad is rounded up and inihilated in the South.

In the North an engineer squad is spotted and decimated, whilst in the center a tank crew, a AT-team and a JPz is destroied. :p

Nevertheless, Rioja influented bellow cries continue to taunt the Soviets from the hills in vain attempts to lure the Soviet Armor into yet another ambush! :rolleyes:

I can see lots of other tanks moving around out there. This battle will probably be decided in the next for or five turns.

A fleeing engineer unit is shot at by another group of tanks building up on the main road.

:D

Casualties are low, but an isolated PzIII pays the prize of hanging behind. The crews get out, but does not make it back to Berlin. ;)

AT fire Centre snd South is a menance to the Soviets. :mad:

Flagging a white banner and hands in the air the shattered Axis forces halts their fleeing. :(

Will the Soviet forces have mercy on their hated enemies?

As this is their Commander Berserk's first ever action in the battlefield ;) he desides valliantly that he has picked enough bones today and rules that all captured enemies the shall be given the choise between either joining a Soviet punishment battalion or leave their skelletons on the battlefield. :eek: :D

- Berserk rules

Nationalist Spain 2258, Crushing Defeat (Surrendered)
Soviet Union 4997, Decisive Victory
