The Germans activate the Jagdtigers but fail to hit the Soviets.

End of Command Pulse.

The Soviet General Support Batteries fail to respond. The Soviets urgently need to reduce the German Morale. The Soviets launch two airstrikes.

The Wirblewind drives off one air mission. The other fails to hit a Panther platoon. Another air strike goes in but fails to hit its target.

The IS-2 advances.

End of Command Pulse.

The German General Support Batteries hit and disperse an IS-2 platoon (-3 Morale). As the Soviets only had 1 Morale, the Germans receive 2 Morale increasing their total to 4.

The Germans attack to retake the hill. A T-34/85 platoon is dispersed (-3 Morale). Soviet luck has run out!

Panther fire disperses a T-34/43 platoon (-1 Morale) but the Panther is dispersed by opportunity fire.

End of Command Pulse.

No Command Failures. The Soviets get four air missions. The Germans have the first Command Pulse.

With only two Morale left, the Germans are close to collapse. The firing gets off to a good start with two T-34/85 platoons being took out by the Tiger II platoons. The Soviets lose 4 Morale leaving them with one Morale. One Tiger II is hit and forced back.

Elsewhere, fire causes a few units to be suppressed and forced back. Both sides end the turn, ready to strike the final blow.
