AngryDeemon1 and RObW - Japan vs Russia

[AngryDeemon1]

I kill a couple of your tanks and men and loose one of mine. Nothing else happens. many Russian tanks are abandoned. Guess its those 150mm mortars:)

[RobW]

Beginning to get bogged down a bit. In the north I am loosing tanks to 1 tank and something I can't see. The center is very much in his hands. The south is turning for me but he has 3 well placed tanks that I am having problems getting shots at.

[AngryDeemon1]

I kill a couple more of your tanks and ACs, as my 150mm mortars kill more of your men:) I see many many abandoned soviet AFVs:) WOnder why they are abandoned:)

[RobW]

they are abanodoned cos I can't get my men in - if you can do this - how? next move will probably be monday now as parents up for the weekend!

[AngryDeemon1]

The crew memebers from the vechicle must sit unsurpressed in the same hex as the AFV for a couple of turns.

[RobW]

now why the **** did no one tell me that before - ok - but guess if you loose crewmen you can't reman the vehicles and they have to be the original crew.

[AngryDeemon1]

Yup original crew only

[RobW]

right, next turn after the weekend

[RobW]

Angry - whos turn is it? IF its mine apologies for not amking it befofre now!!!

[AngryDeemon1]

Your turn

[RobW]

The South is being forced - I am on his flank and rolling him into the center. My only porblem is a number of well sited Naval forts. Lookslike I need a new plan for the next stage. In the north I thyink I am getting somewhere. The center is still his but I am hoping a need to reinforce the south will introduce weaknesses.

[RobW]

Might need the file I guess! Also I will be unable to mae my next trun for about a week (work & holiday).

[AngryDeemon1]

Dont forget the turn

[RobW]

turn posted above!

[AngryDeemon1]

Wont be able to do my turn till wed. Have a Biostatistics II midterm on Tues. - Studying

[RobW]

Fine by me - I am not able to make term until tues/wed anway (mainly due to being on hols then in meetings @ Work!)

[AngryDeemon1]

Right so this turn you loose More tanks ans Armoured cars. Many of those tanks are t-28s, one of my favorite Russian early war tanks. I also rough up some infantry with mortars.

On a sidenote **** i love Japanese rallying abilities. Superhuman:)

[RobW]

I am slowly dislodging him off the southern hill. I am taking a pounding from the fixed emplacements in his rear. In the north I am being held up by a thin green line of Jap infantry sitting on the hill. They are well emplaced to cover any move I make in the North or Center.

[AngryDeemon1]

I kill quite a deq of your tanks and rout some engeneers. Forts are missing, I had better hopes for them. I did warn you that the Japanese managed to dig in

[RobW]

I am grinding away to little effect at the moment. I cannot complete my break out in the south as his naval guns are keeping me pinned. IN the north I cannot see anyway to turn - think it is time for me to call in the 2nd battalion from reserve
