“Once more, or fill the gap with our dead,” you say.

“Okay, let’s not get that forlorn here,” Griselda says quickly. The two of you giggle at that. “Elodie. It’s been hell of a journey, riding with you, fighting with you.” She gently punches your arm. “No matter what happens, you and I are together. Tankers for life.” Tankers for life. She winks at you, then steps past and whistles. “Luisa, Yuno, Athena, Tessa! Let’s get Janus working!”

Iris nods to you, taking one last sip of tea. She offers you a thermos. “Here. My finest Darjeeling. It may not be served in a fine china cup but may it calm your nerves in battle.”

“Thank you, Iris.” You smile at her. “You’ve been reliable to us this entire tournament. I hope we don’t let you down.”

“You will only let me and my girls down if we go down like pigeons in a hunt,” she remarks coolly. “Take care. And good luck.” She too takes her leave, leaving you alone. Everyone hurries to their tanks, revving their engines, starting them up. You walk down the line. Serafina salutes you, grinning as do all of her Polish sisters. You see Dalia and Benny talking too.

“You know,” says Dalia. “I think you and I after everything we’ve been through in this tournament. Maybe we should consider merging our clubs.”

Benny nods, smiling a little. “Okay. Sure. But I get to be the President.”

“We’ll be co-Presidents,” Dalia says quickly, apparently almost reconsidering her idea. Benny shrugs, rolling her eyes. “Good luck.” The two lock hands and thump chests.

You take a breath, sighing.

> Time to go.

You hurry to your tank and climb in. You look down and see Winona smiling up at you, and Stack giving you a thumbs up. Those two are ready. “Josephina. Put him into gear. Let’s get rolling.”

“Oui!” Josephina starts up the engine. The tank thunders underneath you, vibrating harshly. It’s time. You take a breath. Thank God, action. You can feel butterflies in your stomach. This is it. Your parents are watching, Jock is watching, the Academy is watching, the whole world is watching! Whatever happens, you’ll be famous!

Jesus Christ you’re nervous. Winona takes your hand, looking up at you. “We’re good to go, Elodie.”

Yeah. You nod. Alright. “Let’s go.”

…

…

A flare shoots up into the sky, exploding into the air brilliantly. The start of the match. “On the bounce!”

Right. You take a look at the map and try and remember the plan. Guerrilla warfare in the streets of Nanjing and hopefully we draw them into singular combat where quality of tank won’t matter. What will matter is the crew inside of them. You bite your lip, taking a breath.

Calm yourself now. Whatever happens, will happen. Que sera, sera.

Take Dalia, Denise, Elyse, Lyra and Rosehip with us. Guerilla warfare's a good overall plan but we'll need intelligence on the ZES routes of approach if we want to make it work. Also depending on which side of the river they're on we can also take pot shots at them with relative safety before retreating, potentially thinning them out before they reach Nanjing.

> Speed ahead of the group and scout ahead to Nanjing.

You decide to speed ahead of the group. “Charge on ahead. Let’s go.” Your tank starts gliding ahead of the group, speeding past everyone else and moving to the head of the column. Fairly soon, you leave most of the team in the dust, save for the faster tanks. The fast tanks in Dalia, Denise, Elyse, Lyra, Rosehip, Carolina, and Maria aren’t too far behind. Once you reach the city limits of Nanjing, you take out your binoculars and take a look.

So far, nothing south indicates movement. You can’t hear anything. You don’t see any smoke kicked up. Of course. If a tank is traveling slowly enough, a dust cloud won’t kick up anyway. You do notice that the weather appears to be taking a turn for the worse. Might mean rain later.

You lean back and take another breath. Mei is out there. She’ll probably be looking for you and you specifically.

But that doesn’t mean she’ll just rush you outright. She’ll entertain the possibility that you’re going to stay in the city and wait for her to come to you. She might try an alternative entrance into Nanjing somewhere. Or worse yet, she might hole up in any one of the other provinces and wait for –you- to come to her instead.

Decisions, decisions…

You got a scale for how big that map is?

>>3140713
Nanjing and Chongqing at opposite sides of the map are according to google 1,378 kilometers away from each other.

For scale purposes. Nanjing and Hefei are approximately 100 kilometers away from each other.

So this is a XBOX HUGE map then. Thanks.

Again, we want to try to establish an OP to the side of likely advance routes, where we can try to get eyes on Mei's forces. There's some high ground across the river from Tongling, on the West bank, might give us a decent view of the area, though given the scale involved, we should spread out our fast vehicles in a wide arc only just in wireless range of each other and establish pickets to give us the best odds of someone picking up the ZES vanguard.

>>3140710
>>3140753
I'll second this, with Intuition.

>>3140753
Oh and tell commanders that if they lose wireless they can signal using flares, the next vehicle in line should be able to see them and they can pass it on to the rest. Green for ZES spotted but the vehicle can't retreat to signal that subtly, Red for they've been engaged and are pinned, Yellow for they've been engaged and are retreating.

“Alright, let’s head around west, see what we can see.”

You take yourself and the fast tanks out west. You spotted some high ground on the map where you might get a good view of the surrounding area. You take a look at the map as you travel downwards.

On the way, you think about Mei’s possible options and she may do if you spot her movement. If you spot her at Jiujiang to the west, that could mean she’s opting to set up in Wuhan or possibly attempting a long flanking maneuver to surround Nanjing. If you were to try and escape, she’d have you cut off depending on how far and how many tanks she has committed to that side. If she’s opting for the north entrance at Chizhou, she could be aiming to go at you directly.

With that, you spread the tanks out along the hillsides. It takes quite a bit of time. This battlefield is much larger than the ones you’re used to. You’re almost out of range of the other tanks. “We’re in position,” says Rosehip. Her voice is mottled by static and distortion from the range.

“Wait, I think I see something!” says Denise. “To the west at Jiujang!” You take a look yourself. Sure enough, there’s smoke. But you can’t tell how many tanks there are at this distance.

“Southwards too, look out of the hills!” Dalia. More smoke coming round there too. On the north side towards Chizhou. They haven’t appeared out there yet. But it appears they are going for both sides.

In which case, this may be an attempt to encircle you rather than try a direct approach. It may mean she’s dividing her forces. But it also might mean she’s trying to trick you into going at one of her two wings. If it turns out one of them is just bait, you’ll be spread way too thin to support the other wing. The sheer distances on this map means that if you pursue one, you won’t be in a position to quickly support the other.

Damn Mei. She actually has something of a good idea here. It might just be one or two tanks at Jiujiang to bait you out. Or it might be her. You can’t tell for sure at this distance.

As the light element we won't be moving to a direct engagement, but rather we'll rush to try and beat Mei to the crossing. Then we can hold the force there, either picking them off as they cross or forcing them to wait and take potshots back and forth ineffectively. We'll hold until the rest of our team's in Nanjing, then pull back North, then West, circling around to screen against the Western force from then on.

“Right. Everyone, we’re moving down to intercept them at the crossing. Let’s get there double quick!” You hold on as the tank rolls forward down the hill towards the nearest crossing. That crossing happens to be Tongling. You can see the faint eggshell form of the T-54 heading there now. There are multiple crossings along those waterways. But blocking even one of them may force them back and buy you a lot of time, seeing as how it’s nearly a hundred kilometers to the next crossing.

Now you wonder if the judges will allow refueling at these stages. Part of you thinks that you’re going to be burning a lot of fuel today. Maybe even tomorrow.

You arrive at Tongling. Rosehip and Dalia have positioned themselves at the other crossing to the northeast while you take the one further south. From what you understand, by now Griselda and the rest of the team should have positioned themselves in Nanjing by now. So really you’re just delaying Mei’s advance at this stage. You take a look at the incoming tanks, and see them stop. If they turn west, they’ll have to go through either Anqing or Jiujiang. You’ll have ample time to stop them. If they turn north, they’ll go right into the prying hands of your team in Nanjing.

You spy at them with your binoculars. They’re quite out of range, somewhere in the area of twenty kilometers away on the road. A huge cloud of smoke trails the lead tank, masking how many there might be. As for the ones heading west, you can’t seem them now. Seems they’ve already passed behind the hills towards Wuhan.

Right, if you were Mei, this is probably still some attempt to spread you out while she tries and defeat you all in detail. In a battlefield like this, getting separated can mean being surrounded and destroyed in short order. “Rosehip. Do you see anything to the east?”

“Nothing!” says Rosehip.

Drat. You take another look at the T-54. They’re stopped completely. You can see its commander out of the hatch looking at you too. They know you’re here.

Question is, what will they do now?

That is it for tonight. We shall return tomorrow same time same channel for more as we continue the final match between LGA and ZES. Hope you all enjoyed.

After half an hour of remaining here, you take another look. At least three T-54s have arrived. Three in total in your sight on the south side of that bank. You’d guess more might be coming or that more may be going out west. Anyway though, three is fairly insignificant compared to the other twenty-seven that may be coming. Not to mention the Object. How Mei managed to weasel that into her little rule change, you’ll never know. But you do know that in a straight slugfest, you’ll never be able to take it on.

You think on it. Even in close quarters, the Object likely won’t be something the girls can take on in a straight fight. Nobody has ever figured out how to take on one. Especially considering they built that tank to survive nuclear strikes. But perhaps someone might find a weakspot in it. You hope.

Still. Thinking on it now, what could they be planning? By now, whatever force they have moving west is likely in Wuhan. And if they wanted to, they’re probably moving tanks through their high ground out of sight.

“Right, you all stay here and watch out. I’ll go west a little and see what’s what. Ingrid, let me know when we’re almost out of radio contact.”

“Got it,” Ingrid says.

The tank starts driving down the hills. You lean back in the hatch and take a look with your binoculars to the west. Seems to you that you do see more T-54s moving out that way towards Wuhan. You spot at least three in the clouds of smoke and dust kicked up by their travels. But no sign of Object 279 or Mei. You take a breath, thinking on it. What is Mei planning. You take a look at the map.

Now, here’s what Mei possibly could be planning. She might be aiming to directly assault Nanjing with Object 279 and herself. And with that in mind, Object 279 commanded by her most trusted XO supported by relatively competent subordinates behind them… they’ll know not to get split up and separated in city fighting. They’ll seek a fight but they’ll seek it on terms that’ll drive everyone out of the city.

And here’s where it gets juicy. She’s got tanks moving out west. But they’re likely to swing north around to Nanyang and cover the entire western part of Nanjing. If you retreat west, you’ll be picked apart by their superior guns and slugging. And there’s no way east. Or north either.

Seems to you Mei is probably trying to herd you into the open where maneuvering won’t be incredibly relevant in comparison to overwhelming firepower at long range. Nasty business.

“We’re out of range,” says Ingrid. “We’ve got Denise to the east as our anchor.” Right then. “Ellie, I got a real bad feeling about this.”

“I do too,” you say. You rest your arms on the hatch, sighing.

“Ellie, Ellie!” Denise calls you on the radio. “Rosehip saw something! She sees movement to the east!”

“Report,” you call quickly.

“Uh, she says she sees a really big tank that looks like an eggshell with four treads!” The Object! “And it’s kicking up a cloud of smoke so thick she can’t see what tanks are behind it! We think there may be some T-54s behind it!”

> INTUITION: - 2 CP
> Stay where you are. You still don’t know where the other T-54s may be. They might try something if they see you try and intercept the eastern group.

“Hold position here,” you say. You don’t know for sure what she’s planning for now. You don’t know where the rest of the T-54s are. And they might try something if they see you try to intercept them. You’ll hold position for now and wait for them to expose themselves. It’s an agonizing time waiting for something else to happen.

But finally, Denise communicates over the radio again. “Ellie, more news from the front. The column the Object is leading to the east just split up. Five T-54s are coming towards Rosehip and Dalia’s position at then north crossing.” Right. You take a look at the map. Five T-54s is not an insignificant investment. That could mean that they’re trying to split you off from the main group or keep you from rallying with them inside Nanjing. “Rosehip says she spotted at least five more leading behind the Object too! It could be more though in that smoke cloud!”

“Got it,” you say. Right.

Mei’s potential plan now: split you off from the main group, attack Griselda at her leisure. Strange, you figured she’d come after you the minute you revealed yourself. Maybe she’s in that group. “Denise, do you see the flag?”

“Nope!” says Denise. “But judging by how slow that column is and how much dust they’re kicking up, there must be more T-54s in that lineup!”

Damn. Alright. You hear sharp cracks in the distance. Battle is joined finally. You see flares pop up overhead to the northeast. Rosehip and Dalia are engaged and are holding.

Collapse the recon pickets back onto those two. Have them offer only token resistance, then appear to surrender the crossing, as recon vehicles should. However, the rest of our force will make best speed and catch them in the flank as, or just after they have crossed. Two rapid volleys, then we too will disengage, and retreat Northwards, still screening Nanjing's flank.

“We better go help them out. Everyone get back to Dalia and Rosehip now!” You hold onto the hatch. Your tank turns about and starts going back to Dalia and Rosehip’s position. Your tanks start ripcording back to those two.

Eventually you make it back. You take a look with your binoculars and see Dalia and Rosehip already retreating. The five T-54s are already crossing the bridge in single column, with their barrels pointed westwards. They know you might be coming. You stop up on the hill, with Denise, Elyse, Lyra, Carolonia, and Maria on your flanks. “Ready, fire!” you command. You all fire a volley at them. You’re nearly a kilometer out from them. This shot is purely to see if they scatter. The shots don’t connect, nor does one penetrate. The T-54s continue their advance and start moving west towards you as soon as they get off the bridge.

“Another shot!” yells Carolina. “Here we go!” Your short barrels aren’t going to do much, and the only tanks capable of even engaging at all ranges with the T-54s are the Comets and maybe Dalia’s Hellcat. You’d need to get closer to do any appreciable damage. Not to mention that even though they’re new to the T-54s, they’re still elite crews in the tank.

You fire again. The shots ring and smash against their formation. One shot bounces off the turret, exploding harmlessly.

“No damage!” you yell. “Everyone, fall back northwards!” As you retreat, you see more flares shoot up from the city of Nanjing. Griselda and company are now engaged too. You hear a massive boom in the distance. Probably the Object’s gun.

“Keep heading northbound and keep the flank secure!” The T-54s appear to be electing to pursue you, but not at a pace where they can keep up. They probably mean to swing right into the city as soon as they drive you off. But as long as you’re here, you’re going to remain a constant thorn in their side. No way you’re letting Griselda get sandwiched like this.

You poke out of the hatch and look up to the west. You see clouds of smoke out in that direction. They’re moving now and they seem to be moving fast. You take a look at your map. The roads are all laid out in a nice relatively even grid. In theory, if they wanted to cut your escape off, all they’d have to do is set up at Zhoukou, Zhumadian, and Xinyang. From there, your only option to move would be offroad in the open. You hear more explosions out to the east in Nanjing. Seems they’re duking it out there now. You’re not sure how things may be going seeing as how you’re out of radio range with them. But you hope they’re doing well.

Or at the very least, you hope they’re holding their ground. If Mei happens to be in that scrap, you pray that they aren’t splitting into one on ones. Mei will dominate them everytime.

Regardless, you take one last look at the map. Despite the even odds of thirty on thirty, Mei looks like she’s going to surround you all. She’ll try to push you out of Nanjing and out into the countryside where superior gunnery in theory should win the day.

God help you if that happens.

You rally with everyone in the town of Hefei, yourself, Dalia, Denise, Rosehip, Lyra, Elyse, Maria, and Carolina. “We got T-54s hot on our tail!” Dalia says over the radio. “I think they’re trying to pursue us and keep us away from Griselda!”

“Think, that’s likely what their plan is!” says Maria. “It’s the typical divide and conquer!” Goddamn it, Mei! She comes out, makes all this noise about the Shimada’s dying and her lifestyle of Tankery becoming the new way of the future, and she won’t even fire a shot at you!? How low can she get!? “We should go back, rally with Griselda, and help her fight things off!”

“If we do, they’ll just encircle us and trap us in the city,” says Rosehip. “We need to keep mobile, like sharks! If we stop we sink!”

You hear more gunfire in the distance, a long ways away. You’re still out of radio range with Griselda and her part of the team. Who knows what could be happening there. Still, you have some T-54s coming. What should you do now?

“We’re going to keep screening their flank and make sure nothing strikes them from the side. As long we keep a potential route of escape for them open, they won’t get trapped in.”

“Elodie’s got a point,” says Lyra. “We should probably fortify this town and quick though. Because those T-54s mean business.” Righto. “I’ll take Elyse and Dalia, we’ll block up the road in.”

Maria says, “I will take Denise and we shall head northbound to the edge of our radio range to see what we can see from Mei’s west wing!” They turn their tanks north and start rolling away, two Tetrarchs together.

“Right, rest of you, find some place to hide!” you shout. Everyone rolls around into town to look for a place to post up in ambush. Josephina under your orders parks the tank between two buildings in a narrow alleyway. The two buildings are high enough to cover you heightwise while there lay a parking lot behind you for you to retreat into if necessary.

You lean back and wait.

You hear a loud explosion nearby. “The T-54s are inside the town!” Gunfire and cannonade shake the buildings around you. “We’re falling back into the town!”

“This is Maria! We’ve spotted the other group heading north! It looks like they aim to take up blocking positions if we try to retreat that way!” Fair enough.

Alright. T-54s in town. What should you do?

Am I shadowrunning too hard or does this seem like some sun tzu shit where they'll pull an ambush to split us if the rest of our team retreats?

>Seek them out and see if you can get them to chase you around.

If we sit in ambush that leaves the T54s free to harass the flank, so there needs to be an active effort to distract them. The fire control systems on these T54s are stabilized but lacks a firing computer which paired with their relative inexperience should allow us to safely avoid fire while still acting as a distraction.

Split off Dalia and Elyse, they'll take up stationary ambush positions and then we'll get the T-54s to chase us into their killzone. Hits to the side and rear will kill.

“Right. Josephina, we’re going to go looking for these bastards. Let’s go.” She takes the tank forward slowly out of the alley. Judging by the noises you hear, they’re to the east. You’ll draw them out west and try to take them on a wild goose chase around town. You go eastbound down the road to the sound of cannons and guns. After bounding a corner, you shout, “Stop!” Coming down an intersection about twenty meters ahead of are the T-54s, two of them. Their commanders were turned out, looking around. One of them spots you, immediately turning in and turning the turret. The lead T-54 stops, turning about as well. Oh, they’ve spotted you!

They fire their guns, and the shells explode and burst around you. “Back it up and around!”

Your tank hurries back up then back towards the alley way. The T-54s pursue. But you look back and see a T-54 coming down the road. The other follows behind too. “We’re setting up now,” says Dalia. “In position!” Wait.

“Ingrid, where are they?” you ask.

Ingrid looks up at you. “Down this road actually.” Oh. Perfect!

You speed past. The first T-54 speeds on by. The second however does not.

> KO: DINA WELKER (T-54-3) *ELITE*
> KILL CREDITED TO: DALIA EARNHARDT (M18 Hellcat “Mifune”)

The T-54 goes up in flames around its turret ring, simulated of course. The first T-54 however continues to pursue you. And now unfortunately Dalia can’t come by to help. It fires against, the shell scrapes across the side of your turret, ripping off some of applique armor set there. Dang it! If only you had someone else around too! Maybe Elyse or Lyra are close by! As for whether this slots into Mei’s plans, well.

It’s delaying you from rallying with Griselda, that’s for sure. As long as she keeps you two separated, Griselda’s always going to be vulnerable!

Run down the road, looking for a side road. Fire a smoke round just before we reach the corner, temporarily hiding us from view for a moment. Then pop out the other side, corner hook around to face back onto the road we just turned off, loading an APCR round. The T-54 will burst out of the smoke in pursuit, and before it can realise it's mistake, we put the APCR shot through its side armour.

“Down the road, Josephina, then take a side road! Ready smoke round!” Once the side street comes up in your view, you yell, “Fire!” The shot explodes against the building, clouding the place in blinding smoke. Josephina guides the tank to the corner of the building and strikes it controllably, swinging it around into the side street and facing down the road you just came out of. You reverse backwards, waiting.

Then the T-54 bursts in. “Fire again!” you shout.

The APCR shot you plant into the side of that T-54 sends it straight through its suspension and into the compartment. The hatch flies open, as does the white flag on the turret.

> KO: EMILIA KOSTERLITZKY (T-54-3) *ELITE*

Some modern tanks they are! They fell for the oldest trick in the book!

Coming up now was Dalia in her M18. “I just got word for Denise and Maria! The western tanks are coming down the roads, there’s at least three more coming down here and another few going towards Nanjing, ETA’s gotta be at least a couple of hours. They’re probably trying to take Bengbu, that’s one of the cities that opens into more roads out west.” A fair play.

“How many more T-54s are in this town with us?” you ask.

Lyra says, “I count at least two more! Maybe one or two we haven’t yet confirmed!”

Instruct the other tanks to harrass the other T-54s as well as they can without putting themselves at too much risk, use liberal smoke and just poke around their flanks and stuff. We want to remain active and lock this flanking element down, even if we can't outright beat them.

“We’ll seek out the remaining T-54s and try and tie them up here. As long as we can relieve some pressure off of Griselda, that’ll be enough for me.”

“Alright!” Dalia backs away and moves down an alleyway. You go down this sidestreet you used to hook that T-54. Seems you’ve finally drawn first blood. And Mei will definitely know now that you’ve hit up one of her tanks. You decide to get running around town. “Everyone, tie down the tanks!” Dalia calls. “Even if we can’t kill them, we can distract them at least!”

“Got it!” says Lyra.

“Understood!” Elyse calls.

You all start driving around town in erratic patterns and circles. You go down one street and end up crossing behind a slow moving T-54. It rolls back and tries to aim at you only to find you gone. It continues going straight ahead, only for Carolina to drive past it in front. The T-54 quickly pops smoke and rushes forward.

All kinds of shit is popping off now! As you drive down one street, a high wall covering a park suddenly explodes open as a T-54 bursts forward, turret turned towards you. “Evade!” you scream. Josephina drives straight into a building, dodging the gun shot that flies past and completely disintegrates a city bus left behind. The T-54’s engine screams as it rushes forward and crashes straight into you. Its front is now rammed into your side as it tries to wrap its gun barrel around. Son of a bitch, you’re grappled!

Plant the WP into a nearby building. It'll blind both of us but we're better able to slip away than they are to pursue in that state.

“Reverse, Josephina!” You fight against the T-54’s forward momentum, trying to wrest the tank away. But it keeps its gun wrapped around the back of your turret, acting as a wall to keep you from running away. “Son of a bitch… Alright, forward!” You whip the tank around forward, quickly swinging around to their flank. They try to turn on the spot to keep close but you quickly circle around and speed on and away! Nice!

“We got them!” you shout. “Nice!”

You speed off down the road. A shot flies past from the T-54 as it tries to pursue. But you manage to get into an alley. You crash through a fence and quickly run back around. Hopefully you’ve managed to lose them there.

“They’re everywhere now!” says Lyra.

“We’ll keep them occupied here, don’t worry!” Rosehip says.

You take a breath and hold onto the hatch. Shit’s going to kick off and it’s going to kick off fast.

That's it for tonight. We shall return tomorrow same time same place to continue this exciting battle against Mei and her cronies. Hope you all enjoyed.

“Can anyone hear me!?” yells Kathy. Wait, Kathy? “It’s Kathy! We’re coming from Nanjing from the east! They’ve pushed out onto the roads!”

“Kathy?” You call her out over the radio. “What’s your status, where’s Griselda?”

“Griselda’s right behind me with Serafina, Regina, Serina, Benny, Jane, and Hadley! Iris is coming up behind with the other heavies, but we got split up! It’s Mei, Mei is Nanjing! She’s got us all separated and we’re making a run for it!” Goddamn it! Well, at least so far nobody’s been knocked out, that’s good at least! “I don’t know where Salome or Meryl went! It’s been kicking off all over the place!”

Lyra calls out to you too as you settle the tank into an alley to take all the radio messages. “Elodie, we’ve still got T-54s in this town with us. And if they’re retreating westwards, they’re probably going to get caught by Mei’s westward group. We gotta do something!” Lyra’s right. If you try to rally the team here, Mei’s probably just going to close everyone here all at once and create a brawl so violent and legendary that it honestly could go 50/50. But out in the open? Her T-54s will have the advantage through sheer gunnery skills. Drat.

Alright, think, think. What should you do?

“We’ll start clearing the way west!” you say. “If anyone’s near me, let’s rally up and get moving!”

“Got it!” Lyra calls.

Maria shouts out over the radio. “Denise and myself shall keep the remaining T-54s tied down! You take everyone else and go!”

> KO: JUNE “JUNE BUG” WEATHERS (M3 Lee CDL “Melampitta”)
> KILL CREDITED TO: JOSIE STILLWELL (Object 279) *ELITE*

You take the other tanks out westwards. Carolina, Dalia, Serina, Dix, Lyra, Elyse, and Rosehip. A detachment like this should be able to at least force open a hold on one of the roads so Griselda and crew can get out. And as for Maria and Denise, you have the utmost confidence they can keep the T-54s in town tied down.

You look through your binoculars. Looks like five going down to Fuyang. And another five coming towards you on this road. They’re outnumbered anyway they go. But if you stop, the other wing will likely come down to reinforce and reinforce quickly.

“Let’s head west and get clearing those T-54s!” you shout.

You drive the tanks in single column down the highway towards the incoming T-54s. You can see them incoming, closing in. They’re in a single column as well. And this highway is big, but it’s narrow enough that flanking shots are going to be an issue. Not unless you go off road anyway. You take a breath and brace yourself. As soon as you close into one kilometer range, they fire on you in a volley. The shots break and explode all around you. “Break formation, go right at them!” You all speed up, charging them. They break their single column to form into a single spaced out line to try and block the highway. They fire again. One shot hits Carolina. “Ah! We’re hit!” It’s a scratch, though the impact sends her spinning off the highway through the concrete barriers. Damn it all!

Dalia speeds forward, being the fastest tank. She power slides in front of you, spreading a smokescreen that masks you all. The next few shots miss you all entirely. “We’ll flank around!” Dalia speeds the M18 Hellcat up, then crashes straight through another concrete barrier. Good idea.

Then another shot speeds through the smoke, almost hitting you. Shit.

someone needs to keep their eyes forward while Dalia flanks, send another tank out to the other side to do the same. Once the flankers open up and the mercs have to try and quickly revise their position, we'll take advantage of their momentary confusion and then rush in for the kill.

>>3159345
>>3159369
Second this, if we can get in among them with the M18 on the flank we should be able to do some damage.

>>3159345
Just like Danon says >>3159369

> Rush them head on. You got the skills and nerve to make it work.

“Right. Elyse, go follow Dalia. The rest of us will swarm in. Dalia, hold off until you’re in position then we’ll rush in.”

“Got it!” Dalia says. Elyse’s tank moves out down the highway where Dalia broke through.

> KO: ELEANOR D’AQUITAINE (Panzer V Panther Ausf. G “Antioch”)
> KILL CREDITED TO: MEI XIANG (T-54-3 “Jinbu”) *LEGENDARY* *ELITE*

You wait a few minutes. After Dalia confirms that she’s position, you yell, “Charge!” All of you rush through the smoke, quickly moving forward straight into the jaws of the T-54s. They all fire. The shots speed past, all missing. You move to the left, then stop up. They’re clearly tracking you. In fact, you could say they’re quite focused on you in particular. Seems they’re intent on getting a kill on you before Mei has a word to say about it.

But nope, you continue stopping and going to feint their guns until finally, you’re within a good range. “Fire!” Your gun shoots out a shot which scrapes off one of the turret sides. Dalia and Elyse come in from the side, firing at them too. They start breaking off, their formation crumbling. Haha! You all speed in more closely. “Fire again!” You shoot another shot. This time the shell finds it way straight into the turret ring, which pops their engine block and their white flag.

> KO: EMMA VAN LEW (T-54-3) *ELITE*

As you rush in, they start popping smoke all around themselves, starting to circle around to spread it as much as they can. Seems they’re trying to get away and retreat! Before one can continue, it gets a shot in the rear.

> KILL CREDITED TO: ELYSE VAN DER LYNDE (A30 Challenger (Early) “Eliot”)

“Ha, we got one!” yells Elyse.

“Ellie, trouble!” You look back and see the northern group of T-54s coming in down the northmost road you passed to get here. Shit.

“Smoke out!” you yell. Stack fires a smoke bomb out of the hatch, letting it burst out ahead of you. You break out of the smoke, surprising the T-54s in their little huddle. Josephina hits the brakes, bringing the tank around to a long slide around them, nearly cutting them off from escaping down the highway before firing off an APCR shot straight through one of the T-54s.

“Nice work, everyone!” you yell. The T-54s are nothing but smoldering wrecks as their crews get out of the hatches to confirm the damage. Seems this business of fighting these Cold War tanks isn’t as bad as you thought it might be. So far you’re having good luck. Griselda on the other hand though is not.

“We’ve chased the T-54s out of our town!” says Maria. “They’re backing away!”

You lean back, then take note of the T-54s incoming from the north. You’re not out of the woods yet.

That is where we end it tonight unfortunately. Sorry for the slowness, had to be called out a few times to help my Dad fix the furnace and had a bit of an issue thinking we had a gas leak for a second there. But next weekend should be better! Hope you all enjoyed.
