Battle Report #195

Four battles, all fought for Germany, and three of them ended in victory: 265 kills and 12 vehicles destroyed made for one busy day at the front. Things opened on BR1 at "The Voskhod Settlement", where a Destruction offensive led by Kar98k-armed engineers and radio operators plus Beretta M38 paratroopers racked up 38 kills and secured the first win.

Then came the main event. The BR2 invasion of "Kahif cave village" was a clinic: 105 kills, 28 assists, 5 vehicles and a massive 8,761 points. What made it truly special was the anti-tank work, done almost entirely with explosives. A driver took out a Crusader with a TNT charge, a radio operator blew up an M3 Stuart, a partisan finished off an A13 Mk II, and a machine gunner sent a second A13 to the scrapyard with an explosion pack. Four tanks were taken down, and not one of the kills came from a dedicated anti-tank weapon.

"Wald" on BR3 brought the day's only setback. Despite 57 kills on defense, the line couldn't hold and the match ended in defeat.

BR5 at "Ministry Garden" made up for it. The defenders held firm with 65 kills and 5 vehicles, and two moments stood out: a pilot in the Fw 190 D-12 wrecked a T-34-58 with 50kg bombs, and a radio operator brought down a heavy IS-1 with a TNT charge. It was a fitting finish to a day full of explosions.
