Rolled 3, 6, 5 = 14 (3d10)
Still too slow. The combat cars the Lieutenant had hoped to whet his steel upon had already been dispatched before he'd had time to stop for the shot. Once went up in a dirty fireworks display as it's autocannon's ammunition cooked from the 3.7cm shell it caught, the other crumbled and slipped to a dead halt, spilling it's occupants like a wet bag of vegetables.
The Judge indeed had an odd sense of humour to deny Lieutenant Niel the opportunity to even shoot this battle, despite the legwork he'd put in. He was sure there were some across the wood who would be eager to trade fates right now.
From the periscope he spotted movement. Two fresh silhouettes that hadn't been there a moment before appeared to the east. They really hadn't been there before, right? Just on the edge of sight and lapped by the fog, Villi couldn't make out their exact shape. It took a peak from his gunner to confirm that they were a pair of T-16s. This could be bad news.
Chastising words came in on the wireless again from C-7's commander. Lieutenant Niel hadn't the time nor inclination to make the switch back to the battalion frequency and reply, he was already spinning dials to give his platoon comrade of the news of the two latest invaders. "Serpentine 2, heavy amour at 1 o'clock, extreme range. Short halt here and engage".
The two Chimerae broke pace and made their adjustments, gunners and drivers tandom tweaking the aim as necessary, meanwhile, Villi mired himself yet deeper in impotent rage, the one upside being now at least there was an enemy sighted to take it out on. "Damned reinforcements, coming in at the last minute and mouthing off. We can't all just tumble out bed onto the battlefield and hope to soak up kills left right and centre. Pull my weight? Muuhhh." He grumbled, radio muted of course. "Pull this." An obscene gesture visible to none but the bemused crew. "Fire when ready."
