I can do a quick one, but you'll have to wait on Ghaz for a detailed version.
HEIDELBERG VS SYDNEY: Sydney victory via Heidelberg concession.
On Heidelberg's side:
The Stug III 'Oskar' Inflicted significant damage onto the Sydney team, taking out the T-28 on it's second shot (The first overpenetrated and thus only left a couple of holes) by setting off the fuel tank. The T-28's driver got out, but the rest of the crew is KIA. A couple of shots later in the game injured the crew of Sydney's PzIII crew, and threw the track off. The only damage sustained by 'Oskar' was a shot by sydeny's T-28 penetrating the fuel tank, causing a fuel leakage problem which diverted the crew's attention from firing.
PzIV 'Tilli' was responsible for the remainder of Heidelberg's kills, the first shots fired from it were in a duel with sydney's PzIII, both tanks hitting, however the shots both glanced off the tracks. A turn later 'Tilli' was surrounded by sydney's tanks, surviving on the fact that, while the shots from sydney his and penetrated, the damage was relatively minor. In return, 'Tilli' got a shot into the crusader's crew compartment, killing the driver and maiming the other crewmembers. The second round of fire proved far more disastrous, with the PzIII getting a critical hit to the rear, grievously injuring the crew. While the crusader missed it's subsequent shot, the M40K's it true, annihilating the turret and the gunner along with it.
PzIV 'Trudi' Particularly uneventful until it engaged Sydney's M42. The M42 on the first turn was unable to penetrate the armour of 'Trudi', yet the return fire on them missed the mark entirely. Another turn went by, with the crew of the 'Trudi' staying put and firing as the M42 backed off. In the final round of the match 'Trudi' moved forward into an ambush set by Sydney's swedish tanks, the M42 hitting the side armour and starting an engine fire, which was summarily put out by the driver whom suffered minor burns. The shot from the M40k also pierced the side, with far more deadly results, with the gunner becoming critically wounded and the driver being killed.
Pz38(t) Etta, nothing noteworth, except Sydney's crusader blew it up in one hit, after it's shot pierced and hit the ammunition.
On Sydney's Side:
Stridvagen M42/TH had little engagement in the battle, it's largest contribution being the bait that lured 'Trudi' into an ambush, which subsequently ensured Sydney's victory.
The Crusader MkI was very cavalier, while it got bogged down at the start of the match alongside the M40K, this was behind cover and thus not disasterous. And Sydney's first attempt to outflank 'Tilli', the heidelberg tank took the initiative, leaving the crusader without a target. In a moments thought and insubordinance, the crusader turned it's gun to the 'Etta', the first shot on the 38(t) being all it needed, with the shot detonating the ammunition of the 'Etta'. In the turn after that, the Crusader moved to prevent 'Tilli' from falling back, preventing it from reversing from it's position and allowing it's team to encircle, with deadly results, though in return suffering grievous injuries among it's crew as 'Trilli' returned fire.
Sydney's T-28 had a far shorter combat life than it's other compatriots, Lasting only a couple rounds. After missing it's first shot, return fire from 'Oskar' penetrated it's hull, luckily the shot over penetrated, merely locking it's turret. In return, the T-28's return fire punctured both the hull and the fuel tank of 'Oskar', to no explosive effect (Though the time that it's crew took to repair it almost certainly swung the match in sydney's favour), with 'Oskar' retailating in kind on the T-28's fuel tank, this time to an explosive end. While the driver was able to get out alive an unharmed, the other two crewmen burned to death.
The PzIII had an exiting role in the battle, being the only tank that could stand up to the guns of Heidelberg's tanks. First narrowly avoiding damage as it tangled with 'Tilli', then blocking off it's ability to exit via a side road, it's second shot at the tank over penetrating. The third round went effortlessly through the rear armour of the 'Tilli', critically wounding the driver and grievously injuring the others inside, before return fire from 'Oskar' penetrated it's own crew comparment, though to a less devastating effect on the personnel inside, with the gunner walking it off unscathed and the driver being only nicked, the commander taking grievous wounds (Though was saved in the field). As it moved to engage 'Trudi' the stug again fired, dismembering it's tracks in it's final shot before the match ended.
Stridvagen M40/K was the unlikely hero of the match, despite it's rather... average crew. Whilst it got bogged down at the start, it quickly freed itself, moving into position to flank 'Tilli'. The first flanking attempt failed, with the tank able to get into position due to the heidelburg tank's quick manoeuvring, the second turn proved to be more successful. Only for it to find itself staring down the front of the PzIV. While in a valiant effort it fired, the low-calibre round merely bounced off the frontal armour. The second shot proving much more effective as it tore through the side armour and essentially destroying the turret. The third, final and match ending shot the M40/k fired was from ambush at the side of 'Trudi', piercing into it's crew compartment and wreaking havoc, slaying the driver whom was already injured from burns sustained in putting out the engine fire and crically wounding the gunner.
End result:
-Heidelberg:
Losses: Seven crew dead, One tank destroyed, one tank critically damaged, two tanks damaged? (Trudi had an engine fire and Oskar a fuel leak. Dunno if those are something that needs to be repaid from a dedicated facility though.), one crew injured.
Kills: One Tank destroyed, Three Crew.
-Sydney:
Losses: One Tank Destroyed, Three crew Dead, Five Crew injured.
Kills: One Tank Destroyed, One Tank Critically damaged, Seven Crew.
EDIT: @Stirk we were, but real life got in the way so we continued it today from where we left off.
