Time to even things up a bit. The steady rumble of a tank fills the air, and suddenly one of the walls of the square crumbled before the might of a Panther. Panzer Elite troops flooded through the gap in the wall and the scene descended into chaos, with machine-gun fire filling the air and explosions rocking the screen. Mosqueira switched back to the British to call in some help courtesy of the Royal Canadian Artillery. Soon, shells began to drop from the sky and the battle really heated up.
Panning around, the units that took cover behind the sandbags were totally wiped out and the Cromwell’s were decimated by the superior Panther. All that remained was a handful of plucky Brits in the slit trench withstanding hit after hit. When only one was left, it looked like the battle was going the way of the Germans. Suddenly, reinforcements arrived, and a neat bit of flanking exposed the weaker parts of the Panther’s armor to the two newly arrived tanks, while the infantry reinforcements mopped up any German stragglers.
