Quoted By:
Von Metzeler’s shot was hurried- you noticed it before your gunner did.
“Hold fire!” you said, “Just a moment.”
You watched in that instant, as Von Metzeler’s shot skated off the top of the turret of his target- right as it was aiming for his friend…
“Gunner, change target! Immediate left adjacent!”
He did not question why you were diverting from the target that was aiming its own cannon at you. Neither of you could read one another’s thoughts- but you were part of the same organism, in this tank. He turned the turret, and cracked off a shot that struck the front of the NfK-7t’s turret, and cracked it into pieces like a hammer hitting a stone. It wouldn’t be firing off a shot any time soon.
In the meantime, Krause had knocked out the final turretless tank. The rest of the enemy formation had its confidence shaken- you could see them beginning to turn, reverse, to get out of your field of fire.
“Enemy tankette destroyed,” Hermann reported from the south, “Though there’s going to be plenty of infantry soon…
“I’ve heard enough,” the sound of the Major’s voice once again, “All elements, retreat. If we stay any longer, then the escape will be cut off from within the town. Remain here, and nobody will have an obligation to aid you. That is an order. I repeat, all units, retreat. Out.”
It sounded as though the shady woman was not accepting any debate on the matter. To be true, with the enemy half-down on its armored reinforcements, there was likely no time like the present to escape…
>No. Complete the victory- take your tanks and wipe out the rest of the armor while you could. Regardless of who left or stayed.
>Fine, you’d flee, now. Testing the enemy further might force them to desperation- and they might take out more of you than the few they had managed.
>Other?
