Turns 43-47 (18:00-13:00)
Fighting continues everywhere. My troops are overwhelmed. The end is nigh.
Situation in the town at 15:00
Around 13:30 I gambled and rushed the tiger into the town to support my diminishing troops. Surprisingly a sherman was waiting and it managed to shoot twice at my tiger (one hit the wheels and one weapon mount). Even more surprisingly, tiger's armor withstood the shells.
Then the
expected happened and tiger commander decided to this:
Reverse and launch smokes... Didn't even try to shoot the sherman.
I ordered the tiger to charge back there and finish that malevolent sherman...
