Katana vs Sandman

[Katana]

Jeeps in the north kill a bunch of MC and provide some useful recon.

[sandman20]

I killed one jeep after VERY hard work. Nothing special.
Turn in mailbox.

[Katana]

Two or three more jeeps dead, after a lot less hard work.
Nevemind, they'e heap and plentiful.
Found some guns and more tanks in the north.
One Chaffee gets immobilized in the south, while another across the map destroys a quad.50 truck and immobilizes (I think) a second.
Just a little warming up before all hell breaks loose:p

[sandman20]

Waiting for that hell to blow up with losing one halftrack on this turn. Also some Greyhound armored cars spotted in nothern flank.
Save in malibox.

[Katana]

Another halftrack destoyed and a second one damaged.
US recon is doing a fine job with a little help fom some Chaffees.
More dead bikes and a wrecked BA-64.
There seem to be AT and AA guns on nearly every hilltop, making life difficult for the troops, but a little more artillery should sort that problem:)
The Russian main force seems to be attacking fom the north, bit early to tell, but I'll find out soon enough.

[sandman20]

Destroyed two Jeeps and one Chaffee in central hill.
Shturm attacked against one of your tanks (don't remember type) and damaged its turret.
Looks like all of your tanks are still hiding behind those hills here and there...

[Katana]

Yep, they're coming from the north, allright. Mech infantry on the flank, more troops in the village and a bunch of AFVs hiding behind the trees...
There's a similar situation developing near the central VHs, but the lack of cover seems to make the Sovs a bit more careful.
Apart from the gun hunt, there's nothing happening in the south.

Two halftracks and a couple M squads destroyed.

[sandman20]

Some action on the nearby of village.I was able to destroy two M8 Greyhounds and three Jeeps.
I know at least one hill where some your tanks are hiding behind of it...

[Katana]

Lost some jeeps, but destroyed two more halftracks and two ZSU-M17s. Scored some casualties on motorcycles and a Guard squad.

So you found some of my tanks, what are you going to do about them? You don't have enough planes to get all of them:D

[sandman20]

Decrewed one M24 in northern flank and destoyed two in central hill and one that was immobilized earlier.
Also two more jeeps are now burning gladly. I don't want to keep any hurry this time , my planes was spotted almost all
of your tanks I think, including some Pershings and Quad AAMG -vehicles.
Your turn.

[Katana]

That's about all the use you're going to get out of those planes. At least one of them won't show up again. The rest must be running low on rockets by now.
Destroyed those two annoying AA guns overwatching the south, but there are a lot more left.
Near the middle, a bunch of Russian tanks are met by a hail of fire, an IS-2 and a ISU-152 are now smoldering heaps of metal and an AA truck simply turns to confetti after being hit in the flank.
Things are quiet in the north, for the moment....

[sandman20]

Not much this turn. Rallying my infantry after bombardment and killed one Chaffee and jeep.Also tried hardly hit to one of your M4A3, but failed.
