Overlord vs Kdiggity

[TheOverlord]

Another new game...

Ge (me) vs Ussr (Kdiggity)
sept 42,
6600 pts,
100opt max arty,
all prefs on except cc.

[TheOverlord]

GE forces drop smoke along the line.

T34 takes a pot shot at advancing recon units but misses:p

Soviet artillery is strangely quiet.....

Back to kdiggity.

[KDiggity]

The German scout was promptly put out of action by a T34.

The smokescreen from the German artillery leaves little visibility, and no sign of any other German units yet...

[TheOverlord]

Thats the point!
Smoke is your friend.....come into the smoke....


Recon units report a strong force of T-34's (maybe a companies worth) advancing in the north!:eek:

GE forces claim the norhtern most vh cluster and a couple from the center vh area.

[KDiggity]

The calm before the storm...

[TheOverlord]

And what a storm it will be!

Recon units report a full comapny (perhaps more....) of T-34s to the north, T-34s and flame tanks in the center, and to the south, you will never guess.....more T-34s.

Oh Chit.........Scheisse!!

A Tiger takes 3 shots at a T-34 (at 36, 52 and 65 % to hit) and gets a stunned crew for his 3 shells, no kill.........

203mm Soviet arty is rapidly using up the supply of clean undies for the infantry......not a pretty sight.

120mm mortars also do some damage, rounding out a very successful round for the soviet arty.........

Wimp! Stop using arty and come fight like a man!!!!:D :p

[KDiggity]

Well, there is now an immobilized T34 on the north flank

It seems the Germans are using some sneaky FOs to place accurate artillery fire, causing many Soviet Infantry squads to stop and think about what they're getting themselves into

The battlefield is getting thick with smoke from arty explosions now, and in that smoke are going to come some horrendous combat

[TheOverlord]

Lots of shell bounce off T34 armor and only one dead T34 to show for it........Even the 88's (ap only....:rolleyes: ) are made out of rubber......time to close the distances....

[TheOverlord]

Could you of purchased any more armor?:eek:

At least 4 T34 com;s are spotted supported by KV8s'.
And some infantry here and there.

OUCH!:(

The Reich will be fighting against a wall on this one.

The good side is that I have decent positions and he must come find me.....

3 T34s are destroyed and another immobilized, for the cost of a pzIII
2 fwd observers eliminated as well......strange to see them right inthe forefront of an attack.....what you planning there buddy?

Damm FJ at guns are worthless. So are stugs. Lots of hits and only scratched T34 paint to show for it.....

[TheOverlord]

Hmmmm
Kdigity does not seem to like to post his AAR's....

After a brief hiatus, Kdiggity has returned, and the battle continues.

A full soviet advance is under way, and my German defenders are hard pressed.

To the north, 2 T34s are picked off, another 3 in the center along with a Kv-8. No thanks to any of my stugs. SHould of bought panzers:rolleyes:

Ge forces hold thier own in the north and center and may actually turn back the red horde and retain owner ship of the vh's there.

The south is another story. 1 or 2 companies of T34s are rolling forward, and I am having more difficulties down here than in other areas. That may soon change as additional armor units are sent south to stop the red tide.
