BWAHAHAHAA

Surrender? to the French?
Watch that truck as it expresses my contempt for the French army.

Yes, surrender to the French

There is no hope!!! hehehehe :p

I retake the hexes your truck sneakily took (to garner a few extra points I bet)

Anyways, your situation is next to hopeless, I'm gonna take the southern Vhexes very soon.

The middle WILL hold no matter what, even with that 88 in my face :rolleyes:

Some helpful locals also supplied cheese and wine to the long immobilized Char in the village despite it smashing one of their buildings. This gave the crew some inspiration and the tank is fixed. Voila!

Your last Mark IV hiding behind the Northern-most hill will be destroyed soon. hehehehe Better move it :p

After this battle is over, the French will be 2 88mm cannon and 1 Mark IV tank stronger hahahaha

(Abandoned stuff

)

Back to you

Your Turn

Actually, the truck was looking for infantry. I know there's still some left on that hill. Figured I'd get them to shoot to expose themselves to counterfire, or failing that kill them with op fire as they move to retake the VHs. Didn't quite work out :rolleyes:

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Your remaining forces are putting up a good fight!!!

My last little R-35 which was supposed to take back the south is destroyed by a hidden airborne squad. The Panhard forces a MC squad to retreat. This MC squad has been the hero of your Southern forces. He forced some legionnaires to retreat at the middle of the battle and even now late in the battle, the squad has terminated a 60mm.

I hope your 88mm on the road stays suppressed.

Your Turn

That MC squad has been stuck in a cornfield turn 1-20 or so. That's why they're still around.

Let's finish this.

About that rematch...

How about Italy vs GB?
Say, summer of 42, before they start fielding German and US equipment.
Something a little bigger than this battle, 4-5000 points or something.

Cool

Just ignore the PM reply I just sent, then.

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 8:57 pm

Hm? where did that come from? :rolleyes:

Here's the turn,

Which side do you want to play? Italians or Brits? Make the battle on this same slot (email6) after we finish this.

There's something on page 1 of this thread.

As for our next game: I figured I let you beat up on a weak army for a change

Ie, I'll take Italy.
Also, I had the impression that, like me you're still trying out different armies.
Anyway, back to killing French

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 9:23 pm

Yup I'm still experimenting

I'm starting to like only the Germans and the Americans hehehehe

Back to our battle.....

Surrender you lousy Krauts!!!!!!

It's not over yet...
the ATcrew near the hill return to their gun and take out the nearest two Chars, the last Panzertakes are of some infantry and a mortar.
Paratroopers are still busy killing legionnaires...

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Sun Aug 11, 2002 8:35 am

An 88mm shell takes care of my Char on top of the hill, destroying all its weapons. Now I'm left with 1 immobilized Char in the middle and one very suppressed one near the village.

I take potshots at your last Mark IV but manage to miss every single shot. The French are once again in a precarious position. Down south the Panhard retreats before it can be assaulted by the MC squad.

To the rear, paratroopers are cresting the hill. My Hotchkiss malfunctions; What great timing!!!:rolleyes:

Your Turn

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Sun Aug 11, 2002 2:18 pm

It's a draw! lack of stuff still moving prevents me grabbing all the central VHs, also an out of time trying to reach the village.
Your retreating Panhard got very lucky BTW, ran straight over a Para squad I'd dispatched to deal with it, too fast to be assaulted.

Soo, the French aren't totally defeated yet. Guess I should've brought all the 6000 something points I could start with instead of just 2500.

German password is vetkin, what's the French? Wanna see what you've got left

I'll set up our next game tonight.

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Sun Aug 11, 2002 8:06 pm

Sorry I just posted now, have so much work to do, starting up a new business and all...

Anyways, my password is viper hehehehe

Draw!!! The French hold the Maginot line, at least in Commander Vetkin's part of the line hehehe

I'll be waiting for that file, I'm ready for our next fight hehehe I will not settle for a draw this time

Whoah!:eek:

I just analyzed our battle and here are some conclusions:

3 or more turns more and you could've taken my home VHes

Man!!!

Those paratroopers of yours rocked!! The French give them each a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in the cease fire and give them a toast in respect for their bravery and their combat proficiency.

Awaiting our next battle

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Sun Aug 11, 2002 9:52 pm

I concur

Think what would've happened when that third platoon had mate its jump. They were scheduled to land in the woods in the north, just on your side of the VHs.

Those Chars didn't do badly either, that is, until I checked their armor and my penetration values. That's when i called in the 88s
Next battle coming up shortly.

>Edit< It's in the AAR/DAR section.
