It was a cloudy day on the 16th of april 1943. Ubermacs battalion of crack SS troops had very high morale, for that day they obliterated the Russian forces lead by the commander known as FenceH. But the day was young and little did they know of the carnage to come. The scenario was set....the 1st SS batallion Totenkopf had to take on the dug in forces of The_Fur.

The Russians had a t-34 manufacturing plant that had to be overrun. The forces on the german end were good, consisting of 2 tigers, 2 stugs, 2 heavy mortars, 1 75mm at gun, and several groups of elite infantry including an mg42 team. The Russian forces were made up by 2 t-34's, 1 KV1, 4 at guns and groups of infantry dug in and ambushing from the houses between the Ubermac forces and the plant. As Ubermac let slip the dogs of war, it looked quite positive and the German morale got boosted even further. A Tiger and a stug made quick work of both an AT gun and a group of infantry. But the Russians put the KV1 behind those two units and between the houses they were in, trying to blow up the stug. Ubermac quickly positioned his Tiger in front of the Stug to take the blows and evantually blew up the KV1. But all was not well for the Germans, as the Tiger proved to be immobilised.

As the battle progressed the Germans met with stubborn resistance from the Russian infantry. Trying to flank that infantry, 1 of the stugs was hit by a t-34 and exploded into a ball of fire. As Ubermac anticipated that move, the t-34 in it's turn got blown up by the second tiger that moved up from behind him. But then fate struck.......the tiger got a hit by an at gun from the side and the crew had to abandon. With only 1 stug left to support his units, Ubermac had to make a final rush on the already battered Russian troops. Forward it went.....troops fighting bravely in an attempt to break the firm lines The_Fur had put up. But as sneeky as he was clever, The_Fur managed to flank the German spearhead with a flamer and took out the last of the German tanks.

Now without support the German troops were doomed. They made a brave attempt to break the lines......and succeeded, but it was in vain....they could not stop the last t-34 and so the battle was lost. Tanks smoking, bodies lying everywhere...both German and Russian. The Russians managed to defend their valuable assets on this bloody day, but payed a high price doing so. Ubermac has been pushed back, but somehow.....this is no reason for celebrations......for one day...... HE WILL BE BACK!
