Tank War at Moleworth

Dave's Soviets v. Jim's Panzers in 1500 pts Tank War
There are 5 objectives.  The German plan was to grab 3 & hang on.   The Soviet plan was to attack the German's left & take one back.  The German left was a bit weak, but they intended to support it with the Panzers in the centre after securing the centre objective on the road.  But the Soviets got a nice combination of late command dice one move & early ones the next & their suicide squad in teh jeep took out the left hand hand panzer before the panzergrenadiers got a shot at them.  They died, but too late.  The Panzers then failed to hit a thing as the Soviet armour picked them off. 
Robbed of support from the centre &under attack by Soviets throwing shirtloads of 6's the panzergreandiers on the left hand objective were destroyed & the Germans had nothing near enough to take it back.  In some battles nothing goes right fro one side.
