Aleksei, the battalion commander of the first Armored Battalion of the Asgard Knights' fifth Armored Division, was ordered to launch a counterattack.
His Armored Battalion had 91 Panzer III and 31 Panzer IV tanks ready for combat that morning at 25th hour, but two hours after leaving their base, half of the tanks had broken down on the road.
It wasn't that the Prosen tanks were in poor condition, but rather the muddy weather in Ante was exceptionally severe.
Before departure, Lister had ordered anti-skid plates to be fitted onto all the tank tracks, a new equipment developed specifically for the muddy season of the year 915.
It took them over an hour to install this new equipment, and then ten minutes to realize the equipment was more flashy than functional.
