squad. Damn it he swore as the bullets whizzing by his helmet made him duck till
he buried his head in the anthill he was unluckily enough to land on. It was 2 hours

off the Marder that had held the Southern flank. As he watched the Sherman
10 Turns advance towards the farmhouse he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that damn MG
would soon be silenced.

The tank paused at the top of the hill, the turret swinging to the left as the
Objectives Germans scurried to break down the MG and retreat. He could see the barrel drop as
the gunner zeroed in on the crew then there was a horrific explosion and the turret
Stop the Axis came off the hull spinning end over end. He heard the sound of several tracked

vehicles on the move... and closing. His heart sunk as he realized that this battle was
far from over and in fact may have taken a turn for the worse. Now it seemed the
