Chapter 1 - A learning Experience

3rd POV

Tony: Alright, listen up everyone. We've got a tough situation on our hands with those guys going to try and use their SU-100Y's from afar, So to counter them we're gonna be headed into the city. To set up a trap that can give us the upper hand. Any ideas?

Jacob: I was thinking we could use the narrow streets to our advantage. We position two Sherman's at the entrance of a street, creating a choke point. That'll slow down their advance and give the 76 a clear line of fire to knock out their heavier tanks while they're bogged down with the shows

Benjamin: Good idea. And we can have the third Sherman hiding in a building or behind some debris. When their tanks get stuck in that choke point, we hit them from behind and their front with a coordinated ambush.

Tony: I like it. We need to time this perfectly though. As they start getting stuck in the choke point, we hit them simultaneously. Our main goal is to disable their lead tanks and cut off their escape

Michael: We should also consider using smoke grenades If things get hairy to obscure their vision. So they won't be able to see our positions clearly and it'll buy us some extra time to get into position to put some shells into their side.

Tony: Let's also make sure our communication is on point. Radio silence until the ambush begins. We don't want to tip them off too early.

Jacob: Agreed. This is our best shot at taking them down, We'll need precision, timing, and coordination to make this work.

Tony: Alright, let's move out and execute this plan. Good luck, everyone. And let's give those Soviet bastards a surprise they won't ever forget.

Third-person POV

Five Sherman's roll out from the starting location three M4A2, One M4A2 76 And the flag tank a Jumbo They're heading for a nearby abandoned city to lure the Soviets into a trap

(5 Minutes later)

They entered the city each team entering positions for the Trap with Lancer team, Knight team and Raider team in their M4A2 Sherman's Hiding at the entrance of the narrow road with both Hammer team and Hunter team at the end of the road with their jumbo and M4A2 76.

Once they entered their positions they began to wait for the Soviet advance into the city and they did not have to wait long as they could already hear the rumble of the Soviet engines.

The Soviets were entering the city slow and methodical checking for traps but as they entered the road where the Americans were hiding they were beginning to think the Americans just weren't here but as they drove further into that narrow road they'd be proven very wrong.

*BOOM*

And with a 75 millimeter shell from one of the Sherman's at the entrance of the road goes the rearmost T-34-85 Cutting off the Soviets escape route.

*BOOM* X 2

With the Trap sprung the other two Shermans at the entrance of the road let their guns sing knocking out an SU-100Y and damaging the other T-34-85

*BOOM* X 2

Shortly after the jumbo and 76 fire their deadly shells the jumbo striking the IS-1 and bouncing but the 76 slams right into the T-34-85.And with that the battle went from a 5v5 to a 2V5 but the Soviets aren't done yet the final SU-100Y takes aim at one of the Sherman's at the entrance of the road

*BOOM*

And the shell lands true, flipping the Sherman from the sheer force of the 130 millimeter Canon knocking it out of the fight completely. Not to be one out done the IS-1 takes aim at another Sherman

*BOOM*

The 85 millimeter shell slams right into the front of the showroom knocking it out of the fight.

*BOOM*

The last M4A2 Sherman in an act of complete Defiance fires one last shell at the SU-100Y Striking it in the center of the Upper Front plate And almost by miracle the shell penetrates knocking it out of the fight making it a 1v3

*BOOM*

In Revenge the IS-1 fires its 85 millimeter Canon of the Sherman striking its front plate and knocking it out.

*BOOM* X 2

The jumbo and 76 both fire on the is one's front plate with the jumbo 75 bouncing and the 76 failing to penetrate

*BOOM*

The IS-1 fires It's mighty 85 millimeter cannon at the jumbo Slamming into its turret face causing smoke to go everywhere but failing to penetrate

*BOOM* X 2

The jumbo and 76 returned fire with the jumbo once again bouncing its shell but the 76 slammed into the turret face penetrating and knocking out the IS-1, Winning the practice match for the Americans.

Tony commander of the American team hops out of his jumbo and walks up to the knocked out IS-1

Tony: That was one hell of a match

The commander of the Soviet team Ivan hops out of his knocked out IS-1 and jumps down to talk with Tony

Ivan: Yeah Tony that was one good match but it could have been better

Tony: Please tell me how that match could have been better Mr fake Russian

Ivan: 1 words hurt and 2 would have been much better if we would have won

Tony: ha Maybe next time maybe next time anyway on a more exciting topic's HQ sent over a radio message before the ambush talking about some invitation the japs sent over.

Ivan: Cool but first we gotta get all these tanks back to HQ

(48 Minutes later)

After returning all 10 tanks back to their garages at the school all the teams meet up for a 'What not to do' meeting

Tony: Ok So anyone want to go first

Hinkle Gram the commander of the First T 34-85 to be knocked out stands up

Hinkle: I feel we fail to be aware enough not being able to see the obvious signs of a trap,I feel if we would have sent in a scout tank instead of our entire force we may have been able to win the match

Mumbles of agreement are heard throughout the Soviet team

Tony:Thank you Hinkle you can sit down now, Anyone else?

After a few seconds of Silence go by Tony speaks again

Tony: No one, okay. On to more important matters the invite to the 63rd National tankrey tournament in Japan
