Woops. Looks like you ran into some heavy enemy activity in the south. Sorry to hear it. You should ask the OKW to replace your Panthers with sturdier MBTs.
Thanks for Condolences, I've been foiled yet again, the freakin' AI decided more Centurions were a good idea. It was a slaughter of epic dimensions.

My Panther/Cheetah Kp died taking out the first 4 Centurions, and the Pz Gren died under Comets and Infantry trying to secure a bridgehead at the pontoon bridge.

The Jaguar Kp ran into a nasty surprise on the Railbridge when more (4) Centurions laid to waste my deadly beauties. I then ordered a withdrawal at that point.

For the price of 11 Comets and 6 Centurions, etc the British stopped me cold, 4 Panther G's, 8 Panther F's, 4 Cheetah's, and 8 Jaguars plus many others was the butchers bill.

I figure, my biggest mistake was lack of use of my Hubz to recce the area, overzealous use of smoke, and too much speed trying to reach the objectives and even the trying to take both objectives at once. Of course the Centurions were a surprise not even thought of.

Back to the drawing board literally, time to redo my Alt History German OOB, and then try again.
