The sherman was causing too much damage so I decided to make somewhat reckless move: charge Panther in to the town and take the sherman out.
Well, panther's commander decided that enemy infantry in a building was a bigger threat so he decided to shoot the building.
Fair enough, it took out a few American troops. However, it resulted in this:
As panther had to reload, sherman managed to fire first. I've no idea how that damn matchbox managed to take out panther's main gun. After the main gun became useless, the panther's commander made the smartest move a tank commander can make in that situation: he turned the tower so sherman's next shot penetrated the armor and voilà, panther was taken out.
Left flank
Random small arms fire in the forest. Also shelled the enemy with mortars. Started to move troops on to position to prepare for the attack.
Right flank
Besides that awful incompetence I exercised, nothing really happened.
