Vetkin vs VikingNo2 Part III

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Mon Aug 19, 2002 9:28 pm

I killed a couple more of the dreaded Firefly's, this turn I capture the northern Vhex but will not hold them I suspect. Advanced on all fronts, the northern hill is still a problem and motorcycle are still hunting AT guns I know they are out there I just can't find them. Back to you Vetkin Die limey's die

:p :rolleyes:

I destroy 2 Half-tracks, a Partisan squad and an M16 Quad .50 HT this turn. I feel like I'm trading fireflys for all these HTs you're sending to scout! grrr

I'm trying to scrape up a platoon of tanks in the middle. The north will be retaken soon.

The south is quiet except for a few MCs and Partisans.

Insolent Bolshevik turds!

Your turn

Killed a few more tanks that turn, moving foward with infantry and IS-3s on all fronts

Not much happened this turn. Remaining armored forces are consolidating. A Sherman takes a potshot at an IS-3 (or T-34 85?) but misses.

Enemy infantry is everywhere.

Most of the big guns are out of contact.

The Shermans pays for its silly attempt at scratching Russian armor. Some British infantry run into Quad .50s a few were trampled to death as the front line squads were running. Plans are being made to constuct a new top on Big Ben something more roundish and maybe adding some color.

Viking has moved up his Quad 50s to take care of my engineers...there's so many of them! An attempt by one squad to destroy an M16 with a PIAT failed as the PIAT-man missed.

Nothing much happening this turn, a Sherman that is gonna reinforce the north gets an engine breakdown, speaking of poor timing!

The south is still holding...for now. A T-34 with partisan & AT support elements are heading for it full speed.

My home VHes are... German! Grrrrrrrrr

Your Turn

BTW what about a German vs. Poland game after this? You be Poles of course hehehehe

1939?

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Thu Aug 22, 2002 7:00 am

Surrender and we may spare some of your men!

As far a Poland goes maybe, can I be Polish/French?

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Thu Aug 22, 2002 6:38 pm

The surviving Brits lay down their arms and surrender. The Reds have soundly won the day. 70 British tanks are burning the sky black this gloomy day....

BTW the Brits have no choice but to surrender, High Command has ordered the situation lost. Reinforcements hehehehe have been called too late (just this turn, foolish me)

Here's the turn

Ok, you can be Poland/France.

I'll be Germans... early war blitz, what date would be a realistic date? Can you set it up? Thanks

Man, I have to beat yoU! All my 3 crushing defeats are from you! I've never received defeat b4, all draws and a major victory...

BTW... How about a Stalingrad scenario? Do you have a map for it? Or is there a scenario? I'd play the Russians this time if you don't mind...

So its either Ger vs. Poles/French or Ger vs. Rus Stalingrad

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Fri Aug 23, 2002 7:10 am

which ever one your most interested in;)

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 5:46 am

Ok, Stalingrad it is.

What about a hypothetical scenario,

The 6th army DOES decide to breakout of the encirclement. I'll play the role of the German 29th Motorised division, as a delaying force while the rest of the 6th army breaks out in the rear, I should get some reinforcements in the form of Manstein's tanks somewhere in the middle of the game (elements from Hoths first panzer army perhaps.)

Game is set January 1943, before the surrender deadline was ignored by Paulus.

I'll play the German 29th motorised, you play the Russians.

Create the game please with the appropriate map: Germany delay (me) vs. Russians advance (you)

Thanks! I'll await for it here

Sounds good but, I'm just a player not one of the Tech God Designers, is there a scenario I just chose???

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 8:40 am

I don't know...

I'll create a map and post it up here later, I'll base it on my map of Stalingrad... I'll try my best, then see if it's OK. If it is then we can start playing, I'll try my best to be accurate wish me luck

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 8:42 am

in my map it says that the 29th motorised was confronted with the 35th Guards Infantry. The 29th is supported by some elements from the 14th Panzer

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 9:38 am

Ok Viking, here it is, I didn't need to create the map, I found one in the Custom Maps section of SP:WAW.

So here it is:

7500 pts.
10-15% arty (Infantry division has so many 50mm's)
Meeting engagement

Between
(Germans)
29th Motorised Infantry Division (me)

VS.

35th Guards Infantry Division + 1st Guard Tank Div.(you)

at Station no. 3, Stalingrad, January 1943.

Hitler has ordered the 6th Army to breakthrough the encirclement whatever the cost. Paulus has ordered the 29th Motorised to provide the rear guard against the advancing Soviet horde. There are only a few armor spared to the 29th due to the general lack of supplies of the 6th army. They are faced however with the reinforced and refurbished 35th Guards and 1st Guard Tanks.

Will the 29th be able to stop the Soviets and hence save the 6th Army and maybe the whole German line in Barbarossa??? Or will the 29th be crushed just as it happened in history???

Only time will tell
