Ok, your battle proposal fits good for me.
Deploy your fight equipments.

These small battles usually ends as a draw, let's see...

Yep, 5000 K isn't so much with this expensive equipment of ´44.

We suffered the barriage, small casualties. But our spirit is high. Spotted one Sdkfz 251/1, the passengers didn't feel so comfortable after that. But the war isn't lost anyway.

We have arty too:p

That M20-Scout car just paid of its sins and now burning cheerfully:) . One Scout team also wasted.
No other enemy contacts yet.
Your turn.

I didn't like the M20 anyway, I like Ike, and Ike has promised us M20´s equipped with the formidable 37 mm as main gun.

Up north one GE 88 mm Flak(?) opened fire. Some GE infantry had to retreat, and when getting that kind of reports E-platoon tried to dash forward, but didn't notice the Jagdpanther that opened up from 50 meters and destroyed our M3.

Getting reports of several heavy tanks in the middle and south...

Lost one Sdkfz by 3in-AT-gun.That one unlucky car just get lost from its way

Couple more of your mens are lying cold in the field and some others are running way back to the home.
On the other hand, not much action.
Your turn.

Skirmishes in the norht, some infantry losses on both sides. Finally we spotted the 88 mm atg that has been harrassing us. Proper ctions have been taken. We also spotted more heavy tanks.
We have established contact with the air forces, and one Helldiver made a run, aimed a Tiger but it's still alive. But there are secondary casualties anyway:)
We strongly believe that the GE artillery park is plotted, and onboard counterbattery fire is believed to have caused damage.

Only minor infantry casualties to you at this turn.
In northern flank there was an exchange of shots between my Jagdpanther and your Hellcat - no hits.

Your air-raid made some of my boys to very fearful, and fearful is my onboard artillery too after that mortar bombardment.

Your turn.

The gods of war are smiling at my forces this moment. The reports say that the we have broken through in the north

Several infantry squads are running for their lives, 2 SS-squads, one recon and one MG squad is eliminated. Two Sdkfz 251/1 are burning with their crews. One routed Tiger was finished by a Sherman. One Jagdpanther in the north was attacked by Shermans and destroyed. In the center one Jagdpanther was hiding between two hills, discovered by recon and destroyed by Shermans.

Finally one Helldiver made an attack, destroying a third Jagdpanther. The plane was hit though, and it's believed not to be back in the air.

Back to you, I'm waiting for the punishment that will follow this:D

Holy sh*t!!:mad:

Maybe I need start to pray or something.
Not any punishment in this turn, only rallying and reorganizing my troops...and of course I need to change my plans after your slaughter...
You lost only one scout team at this time in exchange for my Sdkfz....
And some minor losses to you in 155mm bombardment.
Your turn...I hope I get my boys in control soon or that will be a bloody battle.

You wouldn't like to know this so I write it. In the north reaching security unit positions. Heavy casualties for the Germans, now you lost 1 SS squad, one engineer squad, two rifle squads, one airborne sqd, one MG squad, recon patrol, mule pack, two 88mm Pak43, Flammwagen, panzerschreck and one Buessin. - at the cost of one scout patrol for me.

Back to you

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Fri Dec 06, 2002 1:49 pm

You are really kicking our German a*ses there:mad:
I'm really "kusessa":)
At this turn you only lose one sniper and one M8 Greyhound was decrewed in nearby of one destroyed 88mmPAK.
Some minor mencasualties to both.
Your turn to continue your punishment.

peter hellman · Post by **peter hellman** » Sun Dec 08, 2002 5:02 am

Not much, encountered a lot of infantry slowing me down, also SpecOps sgd shot in my rear

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Sun Dec 08, 2002 3:54 pm

Some mens killed from both sides and you lose one Greyhound.
Your turn.

peter hellman · Post by **peter hellman** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 2:50 pm

You have managed to slow me down quite good in the north. The advance is much slower now, but it's still an advance.

One Tiger destroyed with it's crew, pzschreck, 2 SS squads and one Airborne squad.

The fun is last, one Helldiver made a sweep targeting a Tiger, hit on top with a 1000 lbs bomb but didn't destroy the beast. It did destroy a couple of rifle squads and one airborne squad.

Your forces killed one Arminfsqd and a HT this time.

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 10:00 pm

Just nothing happened.
My army is now under full retreat.

peter hellman · Post by **peter hellman** » Tue Dec 10, 2002 2:56 pm

If you are retreating I suggest that you avoid running around the victory hexes you still possess. They will be set under heavy attacks very soon:D

The Opssqd that killed my sniper outpost is properly dealt with. Upon that one Buessing decrewed and crew deleted. Two rifle sqds, one engineer sqd and one pzscreck got leadpoisoned. One Tiger E was shot to pieces by a Hellcat, and your ammo dump was targeted and blown up by a Helldiver. Nice Fireworks:D

We lost one M2A1 and one scout team this time.

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Tue Dec 10, 2002 7:14 pm

Well done:( Now I haven't any mortars anymore.
Looks like I need to challenge you to rematch after that. Same rules but swapped sides?

You lost one MG at this turn..WOW.

peter hellman · Post by **peter hellman** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 11:32 am

This time lost a couple of M2A1, but destroyed the Tiger and Jagdpanther in the center, one Sdkfz251/1 in the rear bringing reinforcments. My Helldiver used up it's last rockets on a PzIV destroying it.

A rematch with swapped sides is fair. Let me know when you've had it with this one. I suppose you want to pour all those reinforcments into the meatgrinder first?:D

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 10:14 pm

Of course I'll give my reinforcements to your kill list first.

You lost one M18 Hellcat, M8 greyhound and one M2A1.
And one funny thing. I hit two times one of your M2A1 by flamethrower and it doesn't even immobilized, but these things happen.
Your turn.

peter hellman · Post by **peter hellman** » Sat Dec 14, 2002 8:54 am

Your Flammwagen is properly destroyed. Some trucks and infantry also got it. Now we'll see what you'll do with those fresh armoured forces.

And yes, they are ALL on my kill-list:D
