The battle rage on, further losses in center. One Tiger destroyed by bazooka, so is one PzIII. Brummbaer gets some action, I loose some men. One Sdkfz AA destroyed. You have now spotted one of those 3 inch that have been harassing your advance.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Not a good turn for me. I took out a couple of bazooka teams and lost two tigers, one to your 3 inch DP gun and one to a p-38.

I the commander of the Us Btn have a complaint to make! You gerries are not offering enough juicy targets anymore!

North one Sdkfz 7/1 and one Tiger E lost to M9 Bazooka teams. In the center the Brummbaer forcing itself to the VH's are destroyed and so are it's crew. Further in the center one Armed inf.sqd bite the grass duelling with Ge cavalry. Som eof the cavalry spotted are forced back by an M3A1 and some backup. One Tiger hit several times by 3 inch, nothing.
South and rear three PzkpfwIIIj(s) are shot to pieces, one by a Mitchell diving in.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Awwww! My heart bleeds for you!

Not much happened this turn. Two FW190s attacked your forces, and managed to miss both their targets. We will see if we can provide more 'targets' in future turns.

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

A soldier's advice. Hand over the FW pilots to Gestapo!

This turn we loose 3 M3 HT's, all to 8.8 cm Kwk guns. In return we destroy one Sdkfz 251/1 and have another ones crew abandon the vehicle. One rifle sqd is destroyed, a few crews. My AA shot down your HS129, which managed to destroy one M3HT. As a final, my B25 Mitchell appeared from your rear, and with it's 75 mm cannon killed one advancing Tiger.

Several infantry units exposed for you now. They're on the move.

I will not be able to take any turns until earliest Friday, sorry.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Nothing to report this turn.

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

Hmm, let me count... One Tiger, one PZIII, some cavalry that's about it. Time to aim for those VH's I think.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Congratulations! You kicked my butt. I'll be away until Monday. We can plan the rematch then.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Btw, my password was 'doandoon'.

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

Okay, thxs. My password was "ilkka".

As we talked about earlier, it wasn't maybe the most balanced setup., after all.:rolleyes:

I'm ready for a new one, maybe you'll set it up?;)

[AbsntMndedProf]

I'll be taking off soon. I'll probably be back home tomorrow afternoon, and will set something up then. Do you have any preferences as to sides, year, or engagement type?

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

No special wishes. If you like, we can also have an attack / defend scenario.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Another assault/defend battle would be good. As I now understand it, the assault to defence ratio of points is 3:1 in SP:WaW. Given that, which would you rather be, the assaulting side, or the defending side?

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

I give you the choice, both is a good one.

Ain't it easy;)

[AbsntMndedProf]

Ok, here you go! Germans, me, defending against British, you, assault. Germans, 5k, British, 15k. 10% atty. No air. Tally-ho!

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

I already made the deployment, then I came back here, then I noticed the arty was 10 %. I had planned to use the arty to crush everything living on your side, so I bought 8 inch batteries for 12000 pts.:p . Now I have to replan the battle!

I'll be back, if the wife allows:rolleyes: , this evening or latest tomorrow morning.

This will be a great fight!!!:D

[peter hellman]

The Royal Forces are ready to rock, as soon as we finish the tea.

[AbsntMndedProf]

I see you enjoy a nice smoke with your tea!

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

Yes I do, and me and my men are looking forward to light our smokes from a burning Panzer!

Its a sandstrom btw.

[AbsntMndedProf]

We're waiting. Your 25 pounders put on quite a display! Too bad they didn't hit anything.
