Turn 9 (52:00-51:00)
3rd platoon pulls out just in time.
Meanwhile Dowly continues to exterminate my troops.
At turn 8 I gave attack orders to the first and the second platoon. I had to launch the attack now as otherwise my troops would have been decimated by Dowly's accurate mortar fire. Unfortunately I could advance only one squad through the Junction as the two other squads were pinned down. Tank shall remain in place and hidden until needed. I don't want to give away it's position yet. But of course, he knows that it's there anyway...
(note: the screenshot is from earlier turn as I forgot to take one prior to the attack)
As I suspected, the forest on the left is infested with german troops. However, I believe I have enough firepower to punch through.
Turn 10 (51:00-50:00)
Right... I've (surprisingly) achieved status FUBAR.
Dowly basically annihilated my three squads with mortars.
Soldiers advancing on the left.
Soldiers fleeing on the left (before german MG mowed them down)
I believe the conversation went like this:
"Hey, what's that?"
"I think it's a german."
"Noooooooooo!!
"
