Steel Division: Normandy 44 - Light Tank Saves Some Troops But Not the Battle


A solo skirmish against the AI in Steel Division. British Airborne vs a Panzer Division in the 112 area.



During this skirmish, Tetrarch Light Tanks were all the armor we had for a considerable period of time.


Our vehicle was a RG31E with a remote weapon station. Our mission was to block the insurgents reinforcements pouring into the military base. Some of them already made it to the approach routes in front of the base. An extensive cleanup awaited.



During a not-so well thought dash uphill, these airborne troops drew fire from a German Flakpanzer 38(t).



A birdseye view of the tactical situation. The German Gepard (red icon, foreground) is firing at the British airborne troops in the left background. I am moving a light tank (right, blue icon) towards the tree line, hoping it will get the German flakpanzer by surprise.



The German Gepard started pulling back after a few rounds. The gunnery of the British tankers was almost trashed due to the rapid rate of fire of the German vehicle.


Later on, the German vehicle made the mistake of stopping. Easy target for the Tetrarch light tank!
