Firestorm: Red Thunder

Hanover. Command sent word that my sector was expecting Soviet pass-by and to set up a hasty defense at the crossroads.

I see the Soviets barreling down the road, but instead of trying to push through, the spread out as though they know I am here. Their scouts and infantry push ahead to my right to probe our defense as the T-64's move into formation against my Leopard 1's. His tank lights up the right side of my Leopard formation and one is destroyed. He presses his advantage against my PAH, and blows it from the sky.

My response is quick, Fire! One T-64 down and we watch the other crew bail out! On my right my panzergrenadier's make quick work of a BMP and infantry! We see the infantry retreat!

T-62's roll out to my left flank except for one which gets bogged down in the brush. They take out my lead tank, forcing me to move and it's partner. Filthy Russians. My second PAH is also removed by their damndable rockets on the tanks! My infantry is dug in well and holding.

Order my Zug of Leopard 2's to move up to engage the Soviets on my flank and reward me with a flaming ball of Tank! My infantry repels a charge by the Soviets, but lose a Marder in the process.

The T-62's return fire on my Leopard 2's and destroy one and the other falls back to my repeated attempts to get them to rally.

The ZSU's manage to take out another Marder, but my infantry are still in good order. I report my casualties to Command, and the enemy still facing me on the field, and Command decides to tactically withdraw my unit to merge with another for a counter-attack at a different location.
