1st post: Hi everyone

[laurentsx]

I seem to skipped the AAR of Rzhev

10/41 Rzhev (russia), advance SO counterattack its a clear winter day. There is forest in the north, a hill in the centre with clear lower hills to the east and west. There are 5 objectives, one east one west, three on the centra N-S line, the northern one is in the forest, the other two just beyond the large hill. No real plan this time just a plain head on meeting and i hope to be the first on the hill.

T2 we meet and spot around 28 enemy tanks, the closesed is a t-34 (only) 11 hex’s away.

T4-5 the SO take the northern (forest) and central objective. The northern objective is soon taken back by my engineers.

T9 SO force is broken, T14 DV, body count, we lose 37 men, the SO lose 492 men and 51 afv’s

The platoon leader stats after the first Tula mission (see previous) are:


HQ Col. Ziegler kills 4 exp. 95
1st engineer platoon 2 lt. Falkenberg kills 16 exp. 93
2nd engineer platoon 2 lt. Scherer kills 11 exp. 92
3rd engineer platoon 2 lt. Junger kills 22 exp. 96
1st artillery sec. 88 AT 2 lt. Stoltz kills 25 exp. 100
2nd artillery sec. 150 sig 2 lt. Funck kills 12 exp. 91
1st cs platoon (pz ive) 1 lt. Hartueb kills 23 exp. 95
1st med pz platoon(pziiih) 1 lt. Tost kills 22 exp. 103
2nd med pz platoon(pziiih)1 lt. Teiner kills 28 exp. 98

Btw can someone explain the rank system used by SPWAW; it seems my units make promotion, and the icon used is chanced but the rank (in the right upper corner of the stats screen) doesn’t seem to change.
