A cart of mines, two satchel charges, and a single squad. Excluding the dirty sitzpinklers.

As per my edit, if tophat succeeds,
@tophat
Martin jogs back in, the last satchel charge slung over his shoulder.
"Got a plan,, sir?"

((Yeah, your morale died faster than elvis presley. Didn't help that you ordered men to murder deserters of what they see as a lost cause. All NGR have pulled back to the farmhouse, and they're preparing to run away.))
Try to take control of the situation and order a hasty, but orderly, retreat. Any signs of hostile pursuers, make it a hasty fighting retreat.

[4]
Roughly head west,away from both sides.
[5]
Organise the retreat on my side of the road. Make sure no piece of equipment is left für die Russen.
[3]
I suspect once you leave the map, you're done playing till the next mission, (and in the case of your character in particular, possibly forever).

Assist retreat, help stragglers.

I know AT mines wont trigger from infantry weight, but do they have anti-tamper mechanisms? Might be worth it to grab a few on the way out. Speaking of,
grab the spare satchel charge before helping others.

-e
If Martin turns around and sees his squad is still in the building,
....Oh du weichei.
he reluctantly gets the fuck back in there.

[1]
Jeez, it's one tank and a Katyusha. Grow some backbone.
Remain behind, hidden, and outside the farm area, with the specialist fireteam and as many stragglers and panzerfausts as I can grab. Hit that IS-3 on the flank when it drives past to attack the fleeing mob.
[6] (DUMB)
Quote from: Ruskies
More tanks!

Evacuation is in full effect.

Not everyone manages to squeeze in a transport. Most do, though, just in time too, the russians are charging:

Spoiler: Charge (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Evacuate! (click to show/hide)

Some men have held back to hold the line against the charge, to cover the escape.

Spoiler: Holding the line (click to show/hide)

May their sacrifice be remembered forever.

We're going to need a tiebreaker if nobody else votes. I still say Naval Defense is good.

((Ah, I almost forgot the secret roll. A officer sent the order in by PM.))

A message comes through to you from a radio while you're running.

"Turn yourselves in now or your families will be imprisoned."

Fuck.

((Joy.))

Try to keep everyone calm,with a bit of effort we can be free forever,with no risk of a quick death nor eternal labor.

Could we get debriefed individually? KIA/MIA/Active-duty/Out-of-action yada yada? We might need to make new character sheets.
