Drat I was supporting my advance with those shermans.

A little fireing, nothing spectacular happened this turn. Nailed another HT.

A sherman ran away from some elite infantry.

Another sherman lost as it fires AP instead of smoke at a tiger. A PzIVH had a jammed round. The northern victory hexes are within reach. Quiet once more...

Destroyed a HT in the middle, and drove off some engeneers. Didn't lose a sherman, yay! Spotted the troubling MG nest. My breaktrough shermans lost their ammo supply. So far enough ammo to go round.

lotsa arty falling on german locations.

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Mon Nov 04, 2002 11:20 pm

I must have been mistaken then since it was in this one too. Must have been a sherman I think mixed 'em up in memory. Sorry for the hassle.

Lost another sherman to misplaced smoke round moving without checking the IVH was covered.

Lost a sniper assaulting your tiger, hope the supression made it worth it. Center hill seems to become more or less the focal point of the battle, as britisch tanks push out an SS platoon guarding the VH's. The weather is still messing up my battle plan as infantry cannot march fast enough due to the sandstorm. Most tanks have been knocked out, and it appears most german tanks are located. Hope the reserve will be easier dealth with. I wish I had joined the home guard instead.

HI,toonjie brtish tanks still pushing for central hexes,not much damage this turn,yep the conditons have been tough and with cc on also had made the battle more interesting than it would have been....... ps ok to use reinforcements cant remember if we agreed or not before match ok with me??:rolleyes:

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Thu Nov 07, 2002 12:55 am

No much changes this turn either. Assault some infantry with tanks, take most northern VH's. I always thought reinforcements where of no issue as in not prohibited in most games? I use 'em always when I need 'm anyway.

Tamza · Post by **Tamza** » Thu Nov 07, 2002 4:47 pm

no much doin, attempted assault on shermin fails

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Thu Nov 07, 2002 11:55 pm

Initially, this turn looked like it would be a repeat of the former, until a sherman machinegunning hapless german engeneers was hit by a devious satchel charge. Things looked better as a 6-pounder noticed the fearfull shape of a Tiger trough thinning smoke, and ferverlently started fireing. A lucky shell penetrated the front hull, eleminating the treat. This opened up the road to occupying the middle VH's. Northern hexes are firmly in control.

Better be carefull with your remaining 3 IVH's, I doubd you can get much heavier reinforcements.

Tamza · Post by **Tamza** » Fri Nov 08, 2002 4:40 pm

hi, quiet round again not much happening

Toontje · Post by **Toontje** » Sat Nov 09, 2002 2:51 am

Reports come in of yet another IVH shaken apart by 17pounder fire. Infantry crumbles under armoured fire. 17 pounders are being reloaded with more APCR ammo (penetration of 10" at short range, whoo!!)

Northern hexes are firmly secured now now a smoke screen enables digging in before the MG's can aquire targets again. Middle hexes are being overrun by brittisch troops, and the southern VH's expect a downpour of 8" shells.
