The view from the German end of the table

Blinds are now evident

The Germans got the run of the cards, allowing them to crack on

Three T-34s are spied on the hill

So two zugs of Panzers uncloaked themselves and gave fire...

...with immediate effect

Two T-34s are brewed up

In reply, the Soviets managed to inflict some damage on the zug leader's Panzer IV

Notwithstanding that, he encouraged the others forward...

...and another round of fire on the remaining T-34 caused its crew to bail out

More T-34's arrived...

...but the Panzers charged up the hill...

...got around the flank...

...and promptly dispatched two more Soviet tanks which exploded, killing their tank-riding infantry too

All was lost for the Russians and the German infantry in trucks were able to take the bridge completely unmolested

This was a terrible day for Steve Clarke, the Soviet commander, as the cards and the dice were completely against him - fortunately for me he shuffled and dealt so no blame could be laid at my door!

Usually our games are tense, fairly evenly balanced affairs, so this was most out of the ordinary.

Still, after two defeats on the trot against Steve, I’ll take this one!
