The mission is 'No man's land'. Mathews opponent chose ends,
so Matthew worked to defend this factory  with four squads
of infantry, a mortar, MMG, a Marder and Puma.
The Soviet sniper opened the game with a deadly shot that took out
Matthew's observer. The mortar did fire a few shells later in the
game once able to spot for themselves.
The leading German infantry soon took up positions in the factory.
A squad moves in to gain firing arcs at the advancing Soviets.
 The German Commanding Officer, a first lieutenant, commanded
from the factories loading zone. His second Lieutenant
 was in reserve with 50% of the troops.
 Reserves make their way through the woods to cover the flanks of the squads holding the factory.
 The Marder became the hero of the battle, successfully knocking out both Soviet T34's.
 BANG! Target destroyed.
 And again!
 Burning Soviet armour.
 Soviet engineers manage to clear one of the German squads from
the factory with a devastating blast from a flame thrower.
 However, it was too little too late, as the Matthew took out  the Soviet BA10 armored car,
leaving the Soviet infantry with no real support and half their number destroyed.
A GERMAN VICTORY! Matthew is ecstatic!
