Tank F and I have a T-34 in our sights northwest of the grainfield but I'm under fire from another T-34. I'll let F fire first, if he knocks out the Russian, I'll turn and fire at the second T-34." "Tank F to Tank E: You want a shot at this guy? If you miss I'll finish him off :)" ********************** * Radio2 * ********************** "PL to Tank E: Observe the results of F's fire, fire if he misses, but if he knocks out the T-34, fire your smoke discharges, reverse out of your position and join me, we'll try to flank the second T-34." "PL to Tank F: You will fire at the T-34 by the grainfield first, IF if necessary. Tank E will fire if you miss but otherwise will be moving to join me southeast of the hedgelined road." *********************** * dRadio1 * *********************** "Tank C to PL: I can see a PzIV at the south end of the hedgelined road, I hit the pig but he didn't die. I will continue firing at him in the DFPh." "Tank C to Tank D: Whats happening over there, all I can see is SMOKE. I can see the PzIV on the hedgelined road, can you spot him?" (GM: C cant see the burning wreck of D). "Tank A to PL: Tank D is dead! A PzIV southwest of the grainfield by the small clump of woods nailed him. I can see another PzIV on the hedgelined road. I am northwest of the grainfield in between the trees. Can you guys provide some fire support? They're both gunning for me!" *********************** * dRadio2 * *********************** "PL to Tank C: Continue firing at the PzIV on the road, there's another PzIV southwest of the grainfield that killed D, A is now engaged with him. "PL to Tank A: Tank C will take care of the PzIV on the road, you try to kill the PzIV south of you."
