WW II (late) battle report: Nathanael (Soviet T-34/85 battalion) attacked Tony (SS Panzergrenadier company) in the No Retreat mission.

The Soviets attacked along a broad front with the IS-2s in the open in the middle. This permitted the Germans to spring their four Pak-43s from ambush firing at the IS-2s resulting in 2 destroyed and one bailed out (the bailed out tank did not remount and was subsequently destroyed the following turn). The Red God of War hit the Pak-43s hard destroying 3 of the 4 with a single 122 mm artillery barrage. However, the Germans saw 4 Tigers come on the battlefield on turn 1 from reserves. The rest of the game came down to whether the Soviets could break the German formation before the Germans could keep the Soviets outside of 8 inches from either objective. The Soviets finally destroyed one of the two panzer grenadier units but the other stayed on the battlefield even in light of last stand checks while the four HMGs were in nests and the formation commander was impervious to any fire making infantry save after infantry save. The four tigers were too much for the IS-2 deficient Soviets and the Germans won the game.
