Well, Stephen and I finally got a chance to finish up the battle the other day, and it was every bit the free-wheeler I expected. The lead armoured cars (6xBA10's) split left and right. The right platoon over-watched the eventual destruction of the attacking T-26 company. The only firing chance they had was when a morale test forced a halt. The left hand BA-10 platoon returned in time to inform the next company of BT-7's the farm house to the left was un-occupied. Surely the attached T-34 platoon would force the Fascists back!
The BT-7's began crossing the field and took fire immediately, losing one to an AT rifle shot from the copse of trees to their right. As they turned to the right, two pesky Stug III's and two 37mm AT guns in the village were able to halt them. The really big surprise was when the T-34 platoon's advance was slowed by poor morale.
The German's were able to fight off this attack...will they be able to continue along the "Roads to Moscow"? Apologies to Al Stewart.
