Turn 2, Day 2.
729th RGT/ 709th INF DIV vs 507th RGT/ 82nd AB DIV
First off let me say this. The fact that Bob didn't throw in the towell and played out this battle speaks volumes. He was caught without any anti tank defense here this time, basically had to just watch helplessly for 19mins as this battle unfolded.
The previous battle set this up for me, as I needed that area I took to deploy the most critical tank to this attack. I had no idea what he was going to use here this time (there was a longer then normal delay in his purchase phase, on occasions he has changed his tactics), but I was hoping he was going to play this as he had the previous battles. I figuired the worst that would happen is I could lose both tanks and probably 1/2 map on morale, leaving me just enuff town at the top to probably hold out for several more turns till help arrived. Best case I could take the entire map or enuff of it that he would be forced to disband this Bg.
If the counter attacking Bg arrives at the top of this map day 3 (and its the same one), then this might be the high watermark for me here. Actually I might find myself meeting the same fate after a days battling, but at least for now the 507th is in supply and can take a well needed rest!
