To M4 Jess

[Vetkin]

Haupsturmfuhrer Vetkin pulls out his pistol and executes the lieutenant who so recklessly charged in his left flank.

To the middle, the gruppe's tanks advance undeterred by anything, forcing a squad of American paratroopers to retreat.

Up to the right flank overwatched on a hill, a Hellcat, a 37mm halftrack and another halftrack (20mm I think) is destroyed.
A bazooka team is also forced back.

My force has taken the VHes to the middle and soon to the right flank. Although my left flank is nothing but 2 half-tracks who have defiantly taken the VHes.

Your Turn

[VikingNo2]

Back to you nothing much to report, I killed those halftracks and a Pz-III, with as many Tigers as you have your force must be mostly Armor:eek:

[Vetkin]

Yep Mostly Armor... and Nebelwerfers hehehehe

But you've cut my force down considerably... and I have nothing left in my left flank...

Not much happening, my tanks are repositioning and a bazooka team up north is roasted by my flame half-track.


Your Turn

[VikingNo2]

That turn two more Tigers die, and a Panther. One more thing that flame Htrack paid for it's crime:)

[Vetkin]

Crime shmime

Up north I take VHes unopposed as a few tanks remain on overwatch.

In the middle I catch and destroy a recon jeep and an M3 command car. I also destroy the crewmen of some tanks who are bravely stupid enough to advance against the hill.

To the South, where my line has been shattered, a squad of elite SS troops destroy a Quad .50-cal half-track with a Panzerfaust.

My Flame halftrack for your .50cal half-track, seems like a fair trade to me

Your Turn

[VikingNo2]

Killed those SS, as killed a Panther and a Pz-III not much else this turn

[Vetkin]

****, what was once a great kampfgruppe of tanks has been reduced to a shadow of its former strength. I must start to consolidate what remains of my forces before everything falls apart.....

Blew up one of your halftracks and forced a paratrooper squad to retreat....

I'm getting slaughtered out here!!!!:mad:

[VikingNo2]

Kill a Panther and a Tiger. I also throw some machinegun fire into the troop guarding you rear hexes, and some Arty, moving foward trying to encircle.

[Vetkin]

This is a classic example of how NOT to leave your flanks open and how NOT to forget RECON

grrrrr

I'll try to see what I can do with the remnants of my kampfgruppe

[Vetkin]

American Recon and paratrooper elements have reach my rear VHes, I push one squad back using direct fire from a 50mm mortar. Not looking good though, my HQ is guarded only by 1 squad of SS, the other one was destroyed earlier.

I have no southern flank since everything there is destroyed and that is where I suppose most of the breakthrough is coming from.

I retake the VHes up north, destroying an M18 Hellcat in the process. The situation in the middle seems unsalvageable. With the southern flank hanging in the air, every tank that tries to engage with enemy forces are hit from the sides.

This is a dark day... the only remaining forces I have are 1 understrength and spread out platoon of SS, 1 engineer squad, 2 Tigers, 1 Mark IIIL, 2 Flame half-tracks, my HQ and a spattering of crewmen all around....

They say 1 Tiger is worth a company of Shermans.... Time to make this saying true

"Obersturmfuhrer! Initiate the Counter-attack!!!!!!" :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[VikingNo2]

I kill two Tigers and a Flamewagon, and take his rear hexes, almost have him sorrunded. I should be able to retake the Hexs soon:D


Vetkin, I know you are going to want a rematch start thinking of revenge this one is almost over, surrender now and I'll let the enlisted live, all officers will be shot:rolleyes:

[VikingNo2]

Here you go I forgot

[Vetkin]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR NEVER!

"NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!"

"On 'Death' ground, FighT!!!!" - Sun Tzu

Up North I flame a paratrooper squad into retreating and nothing else much

In the middle, my crack SS squad, with 5 men left, destroy a presumptious M3 Command Car. All the crewmen also converge on the middle hill to form a last stand against the Americans.

My HQ is surrounded and will probably surrender soon in the rear. My nebelwerfers have been out of contact 2 out of 3 turns in this battle.... grrrrr

You got it right I want a rematCH!!!!
Germans vs. Americans again if you will.

[VikingNo2]

Killed that Pz-III and the flamer, you HQ and many squads are dead as well, a SS squad killed a M8 armored car ;-(

Surrender and we will fight again, this time a few more points and a bigger map if you don't mind

[VikingNo2]

*@#% ! I forgot again

[Vetkin]

No Need to surrender, the game ended
