The Russians then also revealed their BA-10 Armoured Car that was lurking on the road through some woods since its LOS was currently blocked by the smoke. It drove out of the woods and over the railway embankment towards the German platoons. This proved to be a rather impetuous move, as the platoon it was trying to attack was armed with one of the few Panzerfausts the Germans had. The BA-10 was suppressed and effectively took no further part in the battle.

At this point it was realised that we had forgotten to roll for Russian reinforcements, so the dice were rolled and the Russians three T-34s promptly appeared along the southern road right next to the advancing German Infantry who were about the take the high ground. Talk about timing!

This effectively stopped the German advance on this flank and was very fortunate for the Russians, as they had no other defenders to stop the Germans taking the objective. This was poor defending by the Russians as they had two squads and a PC sitting elsewhere almost all of the game doing nothing.
