scouts taking casualty

engineers reply with coverfire

Things stirring up north.

Tanks try and clear the immediate area!south of main vh group

the save between turns.

pressure,unlucky sniper runs into long range patrol between formations.

Heavy contact, tanks clearing around main VH's

harder fighting in the north sector

hard to have the tanks use an angled view to keep an eye on each other when the jungle is this closed.

the enemy has spread itself out in order to claim all three VH frontal groups,and I think since I caught the central cluster while they were still advancing,I might be able to punch a gap to allow the commandos to rush the HQ. {this is southern group of VH's}

If they stacked their infantry in decending order, I should almost be threw their frontline "A" squads, and have noticed more "B" type units in the centre already.

some of their tankhunter and scout units are doing short flanking probes, or "HOOKS" to see how deeply my units are despersed. Tanks root them out, infantry finishes them off.

Still,alot of unnessasary casualties from this blasted short engagement distances and visablity.

In the ETO it mostly boils down to who sees and shoots most accurately first, in the PTO its who can sneek the most units to the best jumpoff points to "POP" out for close assault threw the tightly co-ordinated Arrty.

A heavy hard punch,emergeing out of the confusion of an artillary barrage is quite sucessfull if u only have to run 50meters from your contact point to assault or overrun with "BANZAI CHARGES", this assault of an M15 missed.

There seems to be more action between the victory hex groups than on them! my hq pulls to main.

more units follow suit tryin to flank south.

and are they ever pounding us with 150 & 90 mm arrty!!

sure glad that my artillary has been un harrassed to this point in the campaign and has gained enough experience to be fairly accurate on the ranges this battle is offering.

more gritty squad sized conflicts all along the line!
