My A7Vs(Nixe, Elfriede, Mephisto, Gretchen, Faust and Baden 1)were advancing mercilessly through a small village in the French countryside. They knocked down and/or flattened any obstruction in their way as they advanced towards Thomas' mostly-dead army. However, Thomas had tanks too, and they were racing forward to intercept mine.
After inflicting losses on multiple dazed troops, Gretchen was lost to a 22mm trench gun. to counter this Baden 1 and Faust were ordered to collapse the church on the gun positions. This Plan failed and the guns disabled Baden's 57mm cannon. Immediately after this failure the 22s took out Faust with 4 shots into the front. As the Panic stricken crew bailed out, Baden rolled forward and crushed a machine gun - only to have the underside shredded by a trench gun.
And I had lost half my Panzers to 2 trench guns already.
My other A7Vs(Elfriede, Nixe and Mephisto)started a bloody firefight with 4 Whippets, 1 Mk IV and an FT. And succeeded in reducing the number of Whippets to 3 before losing all my tanks and retreating. If only I had one of these!!!!!!
I lost because of the superiority of my A7Vs! So confident was I that all allied tanks but the MK IV would be outclassed by my A7Vs that I sent them carelessly spread-out into action!! Though the Whippet was inferior to the A7V, it managed to beat me with massed firepower and sheer numbers.
If I'd grouped my Panzers rather than spreading them out the battle may have had a very different result.
