Soviet forces arrive, they quickly spot a PaK 40 covering the road, the KV-1 opens up with its co-axle MG but hits nothing.

The Germans open fire, the PaK 40 fires and bounces off the Hull, a Panzerschrek team makes itself know as it narrowly misses the Soviet tank.

A Soviet Squad moves up the left flank but comes under fire from a German Grenadier squad guarding the flank.

The fire fight on the left escalates as a second Grenadier Squad emerges and the Soviets take heavy casualties.

The PaK 40 crew are cut down by combined fire from a Mortar team and Maxim MG fire, the Panzerschrek team bounce a a rocket off the KV-1's hull, this panics the crew who bail. But they immediately come under fire from a hidden StuG's MG.

The Mortar continues to fire but fails to hit any targets, the tank crew re-mount but another Panzerschrek slams into the tanks Turret, it penetrates and kills the crew.

On the right flank, a Soviet Squad moves up and fires their Panzerfaust at the StuG, but the shot goes wide. The Squad is immediately put under heavy fire from the StuG and a third Grenadier Squad appears on the flank.

Having taken a lot of casualties and their tank being knocked out, the Soviets withdraw.
