Turn 6 Results

Fighting has broken out in the south, in addition to the engagement with Russian armor on the low ridge in the north/center.

In the north, the pioneer halftracks continue their advance. RealDeal's lead unit spotted the Russian tank on the low ridge and balked at moving right at it. A different Soviet tank (T-34?) popped a late shot at GoldenEagle.

Sachmo's command vehicle almost made it safely through the fire, but the 3rd shot from the Russian tank knocked him out, too. His other two ACs remain active.

Travis continues his potent anti-tank work, as he bags the first spotted T-26 from his Panzerjager on the road:


Things remained hot & heavy in the upper south. The Pz-IIIhs (blade6119) continually engaged the Russian BT-7 (which backed away) & T-34(?) along the road, and a T-26(?) appeared in a field south of the road behind the infantry, which Pz-IIIh #5 promptly nailed a couple times. The T-34(?) remains the big threat, though there appears to be an AT gun set up along the road as well:


Calis' platoon is almost all in the woods now, with only one casualty. The Stugs (kingfc22) are in the thick of things; #7 is dueling the T-34(?) now, and #8 took a high-explosive hit and lost its commander:


The other infantry (Blade, samifan24, & DataKing) has advanced as directed. SirFozzie's Pz-IVds have moved up without spotting anything. The Afoci's halftracks are freed up (MrBug708, your mortars are on the ground!); one even got strafed by a Russian fighter plane. Tasan's panzers encovered a Russian infantry unit in some trees near the southeast corner of the field:


These are the in-action shots from Turn 6. I will have the Turn 7 orders phase overheads - the "air reconaissance photos" - up later (probably tonight).
