Steel Panthers: Main Battle Tank

Part 8: Operation Torskblast: Turns 14-16

Operation Torskblast: Turns 14-16



The Norwegian Homeguard is now falling by the Squad. Just the single Strv 121 would probably be enough to keep all of them at bay.




The tank is now being fired upon by Carl Gustav recoilless rifles. Even though they are a bit better than they LAW's wielded by the Homeguard Squads, they still aren't strong enough to do anything to the Strv 121 unless they attack its rear hull or top.



The other Strv 121, though, is still buttoned enough that it can't accurately fire at the remaining HQ Team member.

I'm impressed; this vehicle plowed through a pair of Self-Propelled ATGM carriers, a Mortar Team and a SAM Team undeterred, and now a single guy with an MP7 has it completely bogged down.



Unfortunately, the Swedish Battalion ends up taking a single casualty from some stray MG3 Fire. It's a real kick in the teeth because the hit percentage of the attack was only 8%.




Here are our infanty facing off against the Norwegians (which are now almost completely repulsed).



One of Major Dahlberg's men took a 7.62mm round while fighting at the front. He will be missed... until he gets back from the aid station; it's only a flesh wound.
