We were 7 players, 4 germans and 3 soviet.

Total phyrric victory. Everyone died except the Pz IV, the KV-1 and a SU-122. The Pz killed the KV but in turn was destroyed by the SU. Apart from that 3 infantrymen were left alive on the soviet side and none on the german.

I doubt if High Command really cared about that

Lovely Soviet armoured vehicles. The writing on the side of the SU-85 is free hand or decals?

Thank you guys!

Lovely Soviet armoured vehicles. The writing on the side of the SU-85 is free hand or decals?

It is a perhaps 20-30 year old decal that I failed to attach properly because it fell apart, but I decided that it looked like it was hand painted by the semi litterate (and drunk) soviet tank destroyer commander, and left it on.

It says: "Produced in the Stalingrad Tractor Factory"
