Eastern Front (3) Chain of Command: Germans v Soviets

The Germans looked on in horror as the last man of the First Section dropped lifelessly to the floor. Immediately their professional training clicked in and they turned the small hillock into a fortress, preparing themselves for the inevitable Russian assault (see below):


The MG42 in the cemetery was told to move up (see below):


Meanwhile the Russians lined the woods on the German left (see below):


And also to the far German right [definition of the Nazi party I think] figures shrouded like ghosts emerged from the trees and formed a firing line (see below):


The firing started and the shock started to mount on the German defenders (see below):


Three and a half "healthy" Soviet squads faced two "heavily armed" German squads in a fight to the death!
