Katana vs Sandman

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Mon Sep 30, 2002 9:12 am

Maybe you mean my little toys Gmc T95:s ?They are quite slows but VERY heavily armored and each has 105mm gun:)
Both loses some stuff at this turn.I lost couple of tanks and you lost one Armored car and Su-122. Most of my tanks have so poor armors, so you only need to hit them and they are destroyed.
Your 203mm:s made bad ruin in my Rocket Section

Your turn.

T95s?

Sounds like it should be on my side...

Your TDs are to holding their own this turn. One in the south takes on six enemy AFVs, destroying two of them (T70 and T44), so far, it survives. Further north another Jackson is decrewed, a third gets damaged by a Shturmovik.

Spotted some real tanks (Pershings

) in the far north and some infantry in the south. Both will be dealt with shortly.

Da*n, you downed my B-25 Mitchell!! It wasn't cheap plane.And your 160 mm:s thinned my infantry again. Also one Pershing is destroyed by Su-!00.
You have lost one M5 Halftrack. My other B-25 failed to destroy your tank (Don't remeber what kind of tank

) but spotted a column of Russian tanks in nearby of middle hexes.
At that turn, I got some minor losses, nothing serious yet but I don't like those Tank packs hiding in the forest with infantry.
Your turn.

Not much of a fight so far, but it looks like it's about to change;
3 pershing tanks are spotted on the north flank, trying to sneak behind my lines

Let's see how far they get...

Most of the action is in the south, where tanks and motorcycles open fire on some paratroopers, chasing them of the Vhexes.
One Hellcat is destroyed, in exchange for two T44. Not good.
OTOH I did find one of your T95s. Shouldn't be too hard to dodge those lumbering beasts, even my infantry can outrun the things.
And at 260 points apiece, I hope you brought some more

Artillery scores the most casualties this turn, about 20 in all.
Over a dozen of which are underneath that big cloud of smoke in your rear area

Not much happened at this turn.I killed some of your motorcyclists and panzerfaust teams in north but lost one M18-Hellcat in central area.

There was also some melee fights between our infantry groups

Your mortars firing smoke in the near of northern VH:s...Wonder what that mean...Maybe some problems.
I really hate those 160mm Mortars:mad:
Your turn.

It seems like I have some problems with save, I can't send it here. I'll send it to you via e-mail.

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Wed Oct 02, 2002 7:01 pm

Smoke is to hide something fom your Pershings up there until it gets closer. Guess I should thank you for doing most of the work.
I'll just let 'it' stay where it is and wait for the tanks to pass by

Loooks like you pulled back that Jackson on the hill in the south just in time. Your 3inch gun and truck weren't so lucky. Also wiped out your Rangers and a squad of paratroopers. A couple of squads that managed to crawl fom underneath the 160 shells get shot up as well.

Your turn

If you think that 160mm Mortars are bad you should try 8"inchers and Heavy Navel Guns. Thoughs are just devistating. I have had infantry intrenched and in stone houses killed by that type of artillary. Ugh.

Well, there's a battery of 203 dedicated to shelling his rockets, they seem to do quite well. Only one launcher still shooting back, out of a dozen or so:D

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Thu Oct 03, 2002 4:01 pm

Not much action at this turn.My Mitchell badly damages one of your Su-100 and it's decrewed now.One halftrack is also destroyed.

Too bad I don't have those 8inches at this battle, I think I would have very good use to them...
I'll send a save to your email again...

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Thu Oct 03, 2002 11:16 pm

The south is seeing some action this turn, lots of American casualties. There's still a couple of Jacksons lurking behind the hill, but the T-44s can deal with those. Also a lot more cannonfodder approaching. Got some quad .50s to deal with them. Which reminds me, what did you bring to prevent death by a thousand molotovs?
Near the middle SU-100 and '122s try several times to destroy another Jackson,but only damage it.
Your tank charge on the north flank grinds to a halt with one Pershing destroyed and one damaged, courtesy of some IS-2s.
Russian planes are doing recon work and taking some potshots at a T95 to relieve the boredom. Looks like I'll have to adjust my arty a bit. Except for the 203s of course. Those rocket launchers are still not dead.

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Fri Oct 04, 2002 7:30 pm

You have lost some stuff at this turn. One T-44 & T-70 and two of Ba-64 armored cars.And both of us loses some infantry of course.
Things are getting bad in south. Your infantry and T-44 colums pushing forward...I need to figure something out.
My Commandos spotted some Su-122, maybe 5 pieces of them in forest.I think you have quite large pack of tanks which you aren't use yet. This starts to feel pretty interesting...I hold 3/5 of VH:s, and I'm waiting for your hiding forces come out behind those trees

Save is incoming to your e-mail, I have so slow internet connection at this time in day so it doesn't work to send it here, don't know why.

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Fri Oct 04, 2002 7:37 pm

I'll do my turn later tonight, no time right now.
I've got 3 intact AFV companies left, all with guns capable of destroying a T95...
(with a point blank flank shot only, though, so no need to worry yet)

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Sat Oct 05, 2002 2:25 pm

Popped a Pershing at 34 hexes up north

Your tanks ahead of your lines are still there and not going anywhere. Same as that Jackson near the middle VHs. That is one very lucky tank crew. Wonder how long they'll hold.

The Soviet advance in the south is moving along nicely, US infantry fleeing at the mere sight of some AFVs

One T44 is lost to a lucky shot from a Jackson as it moves out of cover. Moments later, Shturmoviks strafe the two TDs, damaging the turrets on both.

Your turn

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Sun Oct 06, 2002 10:24 am

Pretty quiet turn this one.Both survived with only minor losses.I don't want to move my tanks any more to forward, because don't wanna see them blow.I'm waiting for your massive attack.

Your turn.

Save is in your e-mail box.

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Sun Oct 06, 2002 2:31 pm

If you don't move your tanks at all, they'll die anyway. Another Pershing defending the north is gone and that Jackson near the middle finally does the decent thing by blowing up. One SU-100 lost in exchange.
Your infantry in the south is all but gone, the two Jacksons and the Pershing on overwatch near your home VHs get shot up a little. Cost me two of those quad.50s things.

Your rocket launchers have been quiet lately. Are they dead yet?

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Sun Oct 06, 2002 6:44 pm

I just noticed that save you send to me was a old save to the turn we have already played. It was that turn where you shot my first Pershing in north. Check your saves and send me a new one:)

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Sun Oct 06, 2002 7:44 pm

Sorry, here it is

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Mon Oct 07, 2002 9:50 am

I lost one Jackson at this turn in exchange for your SU-100.Also one of those "Quad AAMG" systems is immobilized.My Pershing hit one of your IS-2 and its crew stunned but not jumped out

, too bad. Some of my Jackson is now in danger, your IS-2.s may spot them. 3 of your Panzerfaust groups is wiped out too.Well, I think you have started your advance now and I need to hold my lines, which looks bad in south, but better in north, let's see.
Your turn.

And save is there in your @-box:)

Katana · Post by **Katana** » Mon Oct 07, 2002 7:23 pm

Another Jackson destroyed, two more decrewed. One IS-2 lost to a bazooka team

Those guys didn't get to enjoy their kill much...
US infantry in the south is all but gone, three or four squads destroyed and the rest is sent running. There's still a 40mm taking potshots at my men up there,gotta deal with that somehow.

your turn

sandman20 · Post by **sandman20** » Mon Oct 07, 2002 11:32 pm

Da*n!
I lost one more Pershing, i was too incautious with that:mad:
I got one good hit to one of your tanks but that is still alive.One more those Quads destroyed.
And now there is one T-95 up in the hill...I just hope it stands there in your fire.
And almost all Rockets are now killed:mad:
This doesn't not look good for me right now.

I'll send save to your e-mail at the morning.
