Part 7 (Turns 31-40)
1-Markiny is the center of heavy infantry fighting. Thanks to mortar fire and close quarters combat, the 4/1 mech company defending it does well, despite losing all vehicles.
2-Russian Infantry has failed to advance any more. A single T90 that tried to advance there has been knocked out by a flank a shot from a T72 close to (1).
3-Another T90 tried to flank from the woods but got whacked by a Spike. The fact that all T90s lost all of their APS hurts them badly. In addition to that, the last moving T90 was also destroyed by Polish infantry at close range in the village to the north.
4-Russian infantry and APCs tried to outflank The Polish line through the woods there, but bumped into the T72 tank platoon that retreated from the north. 4 BTRs become smoking wrecks and dozens of infantrymen become casualties.
So, it seems the second line of defense will be the culminating point of the Russian advance. I also managed to cause all Russian helos to retreat off the battlefield, thus making the skies clear of aircraft. It seems the last turns will be spent in artillery duels and minor advances, although I will make an effort to retake the crossroads.
