Game called due to time

Sorry it isn't very exciting. TL;DR, German veterans are better than less than full Regular Soviets and even Veteran tank crews can miss a building from 5 inches away.

Very fascinating to read. I had no idea you could take two first lieutenants (unless I'm silly and you meant a lieutenant + an assistant)

I tend to shy away from making my support units veteran (regular at highest) but this battle was pretty cool. Thank you for this
