Katana vs Absntmndedprof

[Katana]

US army (Katana) vs Germany(Absinth minded prof)
June 44, medium map, 4000 points meeting engagement.
10% arty, two airstrikes, no bought mines.

Have at you!

[AbsntMndedProf]

Cray havoc and let loose the dogs of war! (Cliche of the day)

Eric Maietta

[Katana]

Moving out.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Greyhounds in the woods! Run for your lives!

Eric Maietta

[Katana]

You're not running!
Even an airstrike doesn't seem to help, but it does decrew a Stug42.
Most of the Germans are still lurking well behind the lines. As far as I can tell here's just one brave mech squad advancing in the middle.
No Tigers spotted, so far. Wonder where they are hiding...

[AbsntMndedProf]

That was my favorite Stug too! Darn! Well, we managed to get one of your greyhounds. (Not exactly an even trade, but I'll take it for now.):rolleyes:

Stug #2 dies by 3inch AT. There's a lot more stuff showing up in the middle now
Airstrike #2 takes out a PzIV east of there.
Artillery has little effect. We need bigger guns

[AbsntMndedProf]

I keep getting shot at, but cannot see who is shooting to shoot back! (Btw, I noticed with some interest that in 'preferences' the US Army has a 110% search, 120% rally, and 110% infantry setting, while my Germans are all 100%.):rolleyes:

Eric Maietta

[Katana]

Sorry about the settings, I didn't touch them.
Looks like a holdover from another PBEM game. One somebody else started.

Want to start over?

[AbsntMndedProf]

N/p. You may as well go ahead and reset them, then.

Eric Maietta

[Katana]

Well, yes. That would be the point of restarting. Can't reset them otherwise :rolleyes:


<edit> Ok, that didn't come out quite right. Sorry if that sounded sarcastic, it's been a long night...

I'm still somewhat new to PBEM play, so I didn't realize that the game preferences couldn't be changed once a game had started.

If we need to start over again, let me know if you want to set up the new situation?

Btw, your reply didn't seem sarcastic to me.

Eric Maietta

[Katana]

Here you go, same rules, different map, equal settings.

[AbsntMndedProf]

I'm ready! (I think. )

Eric Maietta

[Katana]

Me too.

[AbsntMndedProf]

My recon force has stuck its toe in the water, so to speak and found some of your airborne units in a graveyard. Since they're there already, they can bury the recon unit my forces hit.

Eric Maietta

[Katana]

They'll take care of those dead hell's angels while they're at it. Them bikers smell bad enough as it is
Recon has done their job. Managed to locate about 3000 points worth of Germans, ie. most of your battle force. :p
Good turn for the USA, up north two Jagdpathers and two PzIV are destroyed, without taking damage in return.
Further south, two halftracks are wrecked by 3inch guns and a little later a third is hit by a 155mm shell.
(Yes, I checked the preferences )

[AbsntMndedProf]

My Pz IVgs aren't much of a match for your 3 inch AA guns.

Eric Maietta

[Katana]

Deja vu.
Looks like you forgot to update the zip.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Rats! How did I forget? I'm not that absent minded! (At least I think I'm not!)
