We join the action again as the panzers surge forward on the German right. Soon some T34s were smouldering nicely.
The Germans in Ponyri soon got pushed out by (vast quantities of) Russians who appeared from the left. What a rotten trick!
A close up of the burning T34s. A pleasing sight from the turret of my Tiger.
Soon a carefully hoarded run of cards allowed the German Panzer attack to fully develop - with a breach being made in the minefield (right) and Tigers running amok (well trundling amok) in the Sov defence line.
With the Soviet armour all eliminated and Ponyri back in German hands it was Iron Crosses all round and a hero's welcome back in the Fatherland.

Very cool!
You will note the wreckage 'historically accurate' Soviet tank charge. Well, it was fun at the time.
Good show Tim, given your luck I am surprised you got away with such a definite win.

Thanks - it was a nice game.

I'd forgotten about the Soviet tank charge - which is in itself an indication of how successful it was....

Either it was my superior skill - or just a lucky run of cards....
" which is in itself an indication of how successful it was...."
As I recall it did chip the paint on one Panzer IV? Well worth the loss of an entire tank battalion!

So - you confess to war crimes?
Unstoppable panzers hmm!
Well done
Geordie
Vorwarts to the Ost!
