Fortifications and street barricades were prepared as well as detachments of men armed with anti-tank rifles and molotov cocktails to combat tanks. The storm broke on 21 September, a day which Dragan would recall as "the darkest day" for his battalion.

2018-03-31(A) Tom Kearney vs Al Saltzman German winDespite a rampant Russian sniper the Germans managed to clear the Nail Factory and most of the Rail Station. Good progress was made in nearly all areas and the Russians suffered heavy casualties. Al failed a PMC at the end of turn three and conceded.
