[Durruti]

the allmighty german army has crossed the Czech border. Intel says they're only a recon company but maybe they're the spearhead.

Good luck

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

The Czechoslovakian army is responding immediately....

Good luck to you, too!

Roland

[Durruti]

czech radio operators have intercepted a german message:

Advancing as planned. Not enemy contact yet. forward units under light mortar fire. No casualties. Recon platoons report cavalry sounds.

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

I think you will have to buy a lot of beer for the guys who operated that recon vehicle....
They destroyed one of my tanks with the first volley!

(Congratulations)

Roland

BTW:
I will now go to work and I don't know when I will be back.

Latest news:

Another Czech tank destroyed.

Czech village occupied by unknown german units.

Czech infantry stalls a german armored car advance.

Heavy AA artillery in direct fire slows down german reinforcements.

A high ranking czech officer seen in first line. Is he eager to die?

Others:

Dortmund lost soccer match against Munchen Bayern ...
:p

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

Czech CO was too bold and is now under fire, while German recon elements are going to cut off retreat route.
Surviving Czech tanks in exposed position and in immediate need for relief.
Contact to CO and tanks was lost when 75mm rounds srtarted to fall down.

Looks like I am in real trouble...

BTW:
This game is much more interesting than I anticipated

[Durruti]

Another german report intercepted:

The czechs are tasting blitzkrieg.

Enemy tank platoon has been completely destroyed. One corpse had a colonel uniform.

Occupied village under artillery fire. Only civilian casualties reported.

Cavalry continue their advance under AA direct fire.

AA battery localized and is being pounded (a battery seen is a battery lost).

More infantry seen. platoon size.

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

Yes.
The tanks outrunning the Infantry and the rest is history.
Beginners error.

Colonel Pekar was killed in action while defending the fatherland against the German invaders.
The remaining force is going to follow his example. (:eek: ).

German broadcast on the battlefield:

Czechs. German colonel Krafft speaking.

Your leader is dead. You have no tanks. Your AA battery is taking casualties and has almost ceased to fire. Your artillery is not damaging our troops. The Henschel biplane is starting another run and soon your infantry will be overrun by panzers.

Resistance is not necesary.

Surrender now or die.

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

Germans!

As long as there is one AA gun....
As long as there is one 75 mm howitzer....
As long as there is one infantry squad....

.....we will not surrender!

Kind regards,
the Czech 2nd-in-command



BTW:
Just lost another AA gun

[Durruti]

Message to Czech 2nd-in-command:

You asked for it.

Sabers up !!!!

Charge !!!!!!

( one engineer platoon cut to pieces by a cavalry charge).

The other attacking platoon is running but in the opposite side



The AA platoon has been reduced to a half crew ( 3 of 4 guns destroyed and the last catching bullets).

My advice:

Start running and don't stop till Praga.

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

Czech troops running aw...
err....
....conducting a fighting retreat towards the last line of defence.

Roland

[Durruti]

- Sir (said the czech radio operator to second-in-command).

The germans are not aware they are transmitting in the same frequency we use.We've intercepted another report:

Enemy first line of defense wiped out. More than a hundred dead bodies found in enemy positions. Starting redeployment for final assault on entrenched enemy platoon.

- The biplane is coming again !!!!. Take cover !!!!!!!

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

The 2nd in command looked grim.
"So, they are aware of our Alamo position. Fine. Order smoke on the position. Forcing them into a close fight, we will at least take some of them with us!"


PS: If this massacre becomes too boring for you, we can stop it.
As long as it continues, I still hope to achieve a marginal defeat - also at this point, this seems to be wishful thinking with no link to reality. :rolleyes:

[Durruti]

- Too late !! shouted the radio operator.

The german panzers started to fire everywhere in the patch of woods whilst advancing at full speed towards them. A short while after the first smoke shells started to rain.

The remaining czechs understood that the end was near...

PS: I'm really enjoying this game. If you want we can switch sides and start again and see who does each paper better.

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

The 3rd-in-command looked grim.
With the commander dead, the 2nd-in-command en route to praga, he wondered....
Will the artillery, using direct fire against the attacking Germans, achieve to kill at least one enemy unit?
There was no doubt that sooner or later, the Germans would storm the artillery position.

[Durruti]

As soon as the artillery crews start to hear the loud sounds of panzer approaching an argument starts between the officer and some soldiers. A fist fight starts. The lonely officer is reduced and the artillery crews surrender... The fight is over.

PS: Will you play against me but changing sides ?

If so i want to feel free to choose my own core force.

[RolandRahn_MatrixForum]

Wow!

Losses:

Czechovlovakia:
171 Men
4 Artillery
4 Soft Vehicles
4 AFVs

Germany:
28 Men

Points:
Germany 8872
Czechoslovakia 280

Congratulations, Durruti!

Let's do another game (with changed sides).

Will you set it up or shall I set it up?
