3/2 ACR vs VikingNo2

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Fri Jul 05, 2002 10:49 pm

Okay fightfans I'm in two battles with 3/2 ACR

Battle 1 : this has been going on for many turns so here goes (3/2 let me know if I missed something)

His initial assault is brutal, his arty wipes out my Arty(Rarity makes me buy mostly on board arty

) He assaults up the southern portion with must have been 20-30 tanks M4/M10s with Aromred cars, jeeps, SP gun and some recon infantry. He wipes out most of my forces, but I must have taken a pretty good toll on his forces though, he is deep in my side of the map, I counter attack slow him and now I pushing him back, He has reinforcements now so do I. This last turn was good for me I killed 5 Shermans but spot at least 10 more coming, he has some Air and he still has arty, I have no Air, 1 Btry of arty left, the only good news is I think I am about even in the number of tanks

Battle 2

This one is on turn 3; rules 3 Heavy Arty batteries, 2 airsections

Map: large Vis 16, his Arty kills, THAT RIGHT KILLS several tanks

other than that recon feeling each other again ( rarity bug bites me again:mad: )

I have spotted Pershing, bad sign for me, his recon packs a punch, light tanks( Chaffes ) Jeeps, and Bazookas:eek:

Game #1

As is in most of my tactics, I have run out of steam and into a brick wall of Tigers (AUX forces) that I can Not hope to break through. My lead company of tank in the south are all but gone (the crews are E&E), inantry is regrouping around the VH's that I have bled my Brigade on, I have about a company of Shermans left. the good news is i
I have a few companies of armored infantry between the tigers and my shermans-- now i will have to wait for the Tigers!!!!!

Game 2

can not give any details yet as it might tip the hand--
but I do know about all panthers in the north and beware vikingson you has imperial Japan troops as mercenaries.
I have a few dozen hungery pershings out there.

Game # 1

My Infantry is forming a wall of steel around the VH's. there is so much smoke that it will be difficult for Tigers to close, we sit here in our trenches taunting them, 700 meters away -- they cannot see us but we are there

in the north my platoon is being chewed up by one tiger another 3 Sherman's down another 25 to go

The sound of treads on frozen ground, is the only thing that is stiring, The foxhole that my crew has dug is soooo Coooold that the water in my Canteen froze. My whole company has been wiped out ,my crews have their personal weapons and a few platoons of the Armored Infantry company left and are the only thing between the Tigers not 500 meters away and the Commander's HQ. we have been told that there is a relief convey coming to help, but we have herd nothing but the occasionally 88 main gun going off in the distance. We wait in the smoke and fire for our deaths

Game #2

killed a few tanks including a king tiger
about to sweep you from the south my ARTY was right on and I'm going to do my best to kill those Kingtigers next turn

now I'm a little concerned about all those Panthers in the north - I have a few scout patrols walking through your rear area counting and I think I have made some adjustments to my tactics and racing a few platoons of Pershings to the north to head off a counter attack

ok here is game #1 and you have had a lucky crew in a panther, I hit him with at least 12 direct hits from about 5 different shermans. the M3 gun just bounced off his Armor , the side armor to boot, the noose is closing tighter. I have still a few suprises and we are at turn 17 of 21 .

Game 1

Looks like a stalemate

3/2 ACR · Post by **3/2 ACR** » Sun Jul 07, 2002 10:19 pm

Game 1
stale mate we are at our game limit awaiting for end . I have lost a whole brigade of tanks and crews

Game 2

Have smashed all German forces and racing for the Final VH's from the south

In the North my Pershings are about to make contact with all those Panthers lying inwait. the Cav-Pincher tactic will prove the deciding factor here.

I think your quick arty will prove the difference
