Captain Williams with his regiment was late to the beginning of the invasion of the Soviet troops. And his war began in the third week of the conflict. To date, he has already passed two major battles, of which withdrew the winners, although with serious losses.
After he rested from the battles for Frankfurt and was expecting replenishment of the equipment, he received an urgent order to collect a combat group and move to the Ruhr area to intercept the next wave of a massive Soviet offensive.
Williams gathered everyone he could. The sergeant Carson's infantry company, two platoons of tanks and anti-aircraft armored vehicles, and with a calm heart, moved along the specified coordinates. He was absolutely sure that in a couple of days the war would end and he would rest as a war hero.
Williams woke up lying on the armor riding somewhere Abrams surrounded lying wounded men, that he learned his crew, and someone from the M113 crews. Behind the tank the infantrymen slowly walking with more tank crewmen with them.
"Oh, you woke up sir!" Said Carson overtaking the tank, "Unfortunately I have bad news, we are retreating"
"What's happened?" Williams asked wearily.
"Well, when you very successfully flew into the bushes and lost consciousness, the crew was forced to leave the tank number 11 and throw it. But it is much worse that another group of tanks approached us from the flank and I ordered to retreat. We could pull out all the tankmen and half the crews of the M113, and we ourselves lost only one of the Dragon with crew. I'm ready to take full responsibility for this decision, sir. "
"As long as I'm alive, Sergeant, I'll be responsible for the unit and all of its actions. You saved people, and that's right. We will still fight. "
Williams got up, holding on Abrams' turret and looked back, where the track's of Soviet tanks crushed his dreams of a quick victory.
"We're still fighting guys! It's a defeat in the battle, but it's not the end of the war! "
End of part two.
Once again I apologize for my bad English.
We played a Hasty attacks and I lost in three turns :(
Some video ещ transmits my mood.
Captain Williams miraculously survived the destruction of the tank at this time.
After the fight, I suggested that the opponent roll a cube and with a result of 3+ Williams would be injured, and 5 + he would be die in battle (as the tank was destroyed in my deployment zone).
At this time lucky, and opponent has thrown only 2.
But generally when my opponent before the fight put his army next to mine, I myself was scared :)

“Someone once asked a man how he was. He replied, “I’m going through hell!” Said his friend: “Well, keep on going. That is no place to stop!””
Excellent report with fantastic photos! The war reporter must have been in grave danger riding on the tank ( =great photo perspectives).
Of course next time we will beat the red steamrollers
