Kaio23 vs. Vetkin

Kaio23 · Post by **Kaio23** » Mon Jul 22, 2002 9:20 pm

Two newly-appointed commanders now face each other in battle. It is 1941, Russia, Summer. The Germans still have the momentum of on their side, and the Russians, with few tanks and machineguns, charge up to the front. Stalin has ordered that these cowards be stopped here. And so it begins...

PRE-GAME

I deploy my troops as necassary, to the front, move my artillery sparsely, so to have a good aim at any target required. I leave the few tanks I have behind my troops, who will lead the charge. All my men are ready for action...and the Germans have most likely already deployed their men

Vitkin's turn

The German tanks flushed my positions, and have already taken 3 out of my T-35 tanks out. Infantry is still hiding, although it is time to take action. They are still waiting for the Germans to move.

The battle continues as in the North the Mark III's and IV's disable 2 more T-35s and destroy another one. The motorcycle platoons flee in terror and cowardice!!! A Mark IV is disabled in an unfavorable position.

In the middle, the concentrated line of German tanks (mostly Mark IVs and Czech 38s) ravage the exposed Soviet infantry! The German commander talks on the loud speakers-

"Surrender! Stalin only orders you to your death! Surrender now and we will take you to our uhhh concentration camps!" (Muffled chuckles follow)

In the South, I find a sneaky platoon of motorcycles taking the 4 Victory hexes, I retake 3 of them using a mixed platoon of tanks. My MKII Flame panzer however which has moved from its hiding place to finish off the motorcycles has been disabled by a shot from a hidden T-35!!! Grrrrrrrrr A Mark IV takes up position and fires a shot which surprisingly bounces off the T-35's REAR hull. Grrrr

Your turn

I curse as Stalin has not given me enough armor to deal with this man's tanks. But...technically...I should outnumber him in infantry. It seems brute force will not work, perhaps stealth would be wiser. I send my motorcycles skillfully past the sleeping guards and tanks, and scout the area for infantry. I yell at my artillery to hurry up with the strike. With no reinforcements, I had to do this quicky. I send my infantry to deal with the immobilized tanks, and flank the mobile ones. I hide my tanks in trees, where they can intercept the enemy. With nearly no contact, and some lost motorcycles, it was time to strike back.

Your turn

The action continues as I finally drive out almost all of the remaining motorcycles down south while destroying the overwatched T-35 on the hill.

I can now see the extent of the Russian horde. And WHAT A HORDE- of ENGINEERS no less!

My tanks up north and on the hill fire everything they have to try to stem the wave of bolshevik flesh approaching them. Many soviets die but many more can be seen. I'm starting to wonder if the tanks will hold.

Up north a flammpanzer tank commander sees the lone motorcycle in the woods who has infiltrated my line. Ignoring the company commander's order to engage from long-range with MGs, the flammpanzer rushes as close as it can to the motorcycle, unaware that the crew were expecting this. A grenade flies into the fuel tanks of the flammpanzer, incinerating it and everybody in it. Grr:mad:

A second flammpanzer works its way up north and fires its MGs at the heroic cycle but doesn't even score a casualty.

120mm mortars scatter all over the middle hill blessfully missing everything important.

YOUR TURN

"Hauptsturmfuhrer! We haft a situation.... Division cannot provide us with artillery support, we are on our own!"

"Ach! Stupid fool!!!!! (slap!) I told you not to forget the purchase of these very important devices!!!! Nevermind, we don't need no artillery to smash these Russians! They are but dogs against our mighty panzers!!! YOU HEAR THAT STALIN!? I DON'T NEED ARTILLERY TO MURDER YOUR PATHETIC COLLECTION OF SO-CALLED ENGINEERS!!!!"

As I order more motorcycles to flank the tanks, as I send more infantry to assault the tanks, I see them running on fire, entire platoons are snuffed out by the flame-panzers. I soon hear rumbling. I look down to the road. Reinforcements hae arrived. Three new T-35 tanks roll down the road. This was a sign. It was time for the next phase to begin. I send the rest of my infantry into forest regions where I can hide them. I send engineers to be in a good place to disable the tanks. Without German Artillery, or so far, infantry, we would win the day. I had no fortunate contacts this turn, I suffered 13 casualties

. Germans suffered none.

Your turn

Things are looking critical up north. I flambe an infantry squad entrenched in a building. Seconds later the tank crashes into the building, its brakes malfunctioning

and is immobilized.

I rake the enemy's main line of resistance with cannon and machine gun fire, making 3-4 squads fall back in the north. In the middle, 2 or 3 squads are dispersed by the concentrated fire of the panzers.

Sneaky infantry flanking my tanks to the south are caught out in the open by the panzers. A squad retreats under a hail of 37mm shells.

I flambe a motorcycle squad up north who is trying to flank my lines. A second squad is also flamed but survives the inferno.

The horde of Russians however are still coming! I cause maybe 2 dozen casualties this turn but I still see the tides. The floodgates up north in my line are creaking. (Too Much **** Infantry!)

Kaio has yet to see MY infantry though hehehehe U never know, I might have a bunch of SS Pnzergrenadiers hidden somewhere

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 7:38 am

So! The Russians try to use deceit to their favoR!!!

No bother, they are really losing the battle now, except for a few oversights from me (my original Victory Hexes are now Russian flags, probably by Motorcycle groups.)
Phase 2 - The counterattack will begin next turn hehehehe
A lead element tank Mark III has already penetrated your main line and will scout out your pesky artillery boys.

Not my problem Stalin issued you with tons of infantry and no armor my friend hehehehe

Here's the file, YOUR TURN

If you want to Surrender it's OK

, we can have a rematch and you can create the next battle.

Sorry I have no time to send it to your Email Kaio, the demands of regular life requires me to go to school RIGHT NOW

Although I've never seen the Red Army so crushed! heheheheeheheheheheheheheheeh

No Comment...your tanks, that have a lower calibre gun than I do, destroys me in one hit...in the front. While my round to the rear of your tank takes three hits. I'm beginning to have doubts, since the armor plating is virtually the same.

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 10:22 pm

It's called luck my friend

Besides, your T-35s have what? 30 armor at the front??

tsk tsk tsk should've gotten yourself some T-34s or KVs

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 10:44 pm

I saw the replay of your turn. Your tanks (T-28s to be exact) have 26 FRONTAL ARMOR!!! My Pz38s have 30 SIDE armor! You never scored a hit to my rear, only to the side. A 37mm anti-tank gun has a good chance of penetrating a >26< armor tank.

Anyways, I have begun my counterattack. A T-28 is destroyed. The north and the middle is fairly secure, with the last mobile PzII bringing up the middle against the infantry but in the south, a tank is immobilized by engineers (probably gonna be destroyed next turn.)

The victory hexes in my starting area have been re-secured. MG34 has been positioned on top of the hill to provide cover fire along with a few tanks. (Including some immobilized ones.)
