Reasonable visibility, but high winds and shifting sands make for slow progress. Sandstorm.

Nothing happened so far.. I wish I had more 17pounders to deal with expected heavy armour.

yep bit of a storm blowing,spottted couple recon mk1's but they managed to dodge all fire.

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Mon Oct 21, 2002 11:25 pm

Hmm, advanced a bit, nothing else happened..

You got bad luck with that redon stuart, lot of ~30%'s missing.

I forgot something I see... ah well it's not that important so I won't give you the points of me calling reinforcements!

For now.

Hi toonjie,i lose a stug who was to eager also couple haltracks cesting the hill on the centrall VH's,:mad:

On a good note got the 2 recon units and pinned the six pounder to the south,

We will fight on land, we will fight at see, we will fight in the air, but right now, it's the desert and there is sand in my ratio's.

Bombarded a bit of infantry wit hmy AT stuff and now notice 6-pounders only fire AP rounds. A bren carrier is hit and goes up in flames. No tommy's have been cooked so far in their ronsons. A few tigers are spotted, ouch! Those 8.8 cm's will eat anything I got, and 75 mm wil be hardpressed to penetrate.

Lost my AAA, hope you got no air stuff otherwise only small-arm fire to return.

Hi, Lost another stug

and took some arty on northen hill that was right on the mark thank god it was only smoke apart from that pretty quiet........

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Wed Oct 23, 2002 6:27 pm

I consider those StuG's more dangerous than PzIII and IV's, so expect a lot of fire if possible. YES! A lucky 75mm hit a tiger, and knocked the optics out of alingment. 1 less dangerous tiger out there. Advanced and called arty on the smoked hexes, this time HE. That might slow your northern trust a bit more. Noting else.

Tamza · Post by **Tamza** » Thu Oct 24, 2002 2:46 am

Arty rains down on northen hexs but not much else in that sector.

To the souuth tiger explodes a sherman couldnt get a shot at his friends though, weather's making spotting dificult also theres a 17 pounder out there causing some bother:mad:

Those tigers are smoked once again, and several AT guns unload under enemy fire. A bren carrier is hit while doing this by those illustrious tigers. Damm you Rommel! A lot of rounds penetrate empty air, plunging giant holes in it.

8'' shells miss a concentration of HT's. Also, a 251/9 is hit by a 17pounder. Low heat action.

PS, you might want to use your rifle and lmg fire on the ATgun instead of the bren carrier. The carrier got little armour, but still a rifle won't penetrate at that range.. The gun crew, however, only has the shield to protect it.

Tamza · Post by **Tamza** » Fri Oct 25, 2002 1:32 am

Battle heats up ,tigers destroy two bren carriers that are try to take VH'S,also tag another shermin two the south,lose another stug to north but manage too destroy morris ,forced infantry to retreat at central VH's but arty still raining down on advancing tigers, howitzers preety close to there own lines....

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Fri Oct 25, 2002 9:02 pm

Little to report, lost another tommycooker to jerry armour, bombarded a little with ATguns. Infantry stops advancing due to HMG and MMG's having higher ground. Maybe should have requisited some trucks as well. More armour advances to support the infantry at shorter ranges.

Tamza · Post by **Tamza** » Sat Oct 26, 2002 3:59 am

Brits push for central hexs and lose carrier, germans lose another tank to 17 pounder ,to south arty still rains down on my troops...

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Sat Oct 26, 2002 12:48 pm

My infantry is slowed down considerably by that storm making movement slow. It seems the northern hexes will be controlled in 3-4 turns. Lost another sherman, good thing those are massproduced. I miss the HE capability of every other nation's AT guns since this makes bombarding infantry harder. My 17pounders perform remarkably well, even tho you landed a 2cm HE right into a loader. Taking cover in the south since the main assault seems to go by that way. Gotta love those 75mm howitsers. Apparently moved my medium AT guns too much upfront since they're being shot at. Those middle VH are withing grasping range, too bad there is a HMG to make things troublesome. After some bren fire it's supressed.

Tamza · Post by **Tamza** » Sun Oct 27, 2002 2:17 am

tag another sherman and ammo truck to the south advance continues, brits push for central hexs some 17 pounders and shermins heading my way thought they lose another carrier and a 17pounder, arty still dropping on central hex,s

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Sun Oct 27, 2002 6:44 pm

Didn't do much, eradicated a HT or 2, and drove off some infantry. As expected, your armour is troubling me, altrough I don't see why you got some ATR. Altrough these might be usefull, you already got the AT advantage with your tanks.

Your tigers seem to be less usefull due to generous smoking.

Tamza · Post by **Tamza** » Mon Oct 28, 2002 4:54 am

quiet round in the most part,slow progress due to the terrain,and the weather wich aint helping dodge this incomming arty:mad:
the AT's where to help defend northen vh's but lost there transport due to your 17 pounders,they never got of the hill:(

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Tue Oct 29, 2002 12:33 am

Nailed a HT or 2, drove back some infantry. Arty done. Lost a sherman in the south (falling like flies I tell you!)

All that 75 mm arty isn't meant to hit much, altrough a hit would be nice, just slowing you down 30% is enough on this already slow map.

Gotta love those 17pounders, altrough I would rather have 'em more south at the moment.

Ah well, gotta do with what one has there.
