The heroic stand of the 31st "Vislenskaya" Red Banner Tank Division at a classified location earned the unit designation as a Guards Tank Division by STAVKA.

The imperialist machines moved forward into a town; our brave fraternal socialist tankers pushed forward in the face of intense fire. Attacking the Yankees at close range in the streets of (?), two platoons of so-called Pershings were sent back burning to the dung heaps of Detroit.

{Redacted}

Soviet losses were 17 steps of M4A2 (noting the irony of capitalists tanks being used against their makers).

US: 22 VP USSR: 16 VP

======================================

Soviet units had no chance in a long-range AT duel ... so I just charged and had some good assault rolls (and had a lot of D's not DD's when losing single steps).

And had the Soviets rolled a '10' rather than a '9' at one point, they might actually have won this.

So this one was short and intense so earned a '4' for our play. Could easily see how a long range AT exchange would just be a slow and uninspiring death for the USSR force.
