Everything has been done to provide you as difficult times as possible. Your go!;)

[AbsntMndedProf]

Another sandstorm? I swear I put weather at '2', which is supposed to be clear. Sheesh!

Eric Maietta

[AbsntMndedProf]

I may have made a major mistake when setting up this battle. Please check the 'preferences' for armor and infantry strength. I may have left them set as I had them when I was playing AI. If so, I'll have to set up the battle again and we will have to restart. Sorry about that!

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

A sandstorm? We will take advantage of that...

Nothing wrong with the preferences, let's continue.

The Death machine is rolling:mad:

[AbsntMndedProf]

The DAK has prepared a warm reception for the British 'Death Machine'.

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

Still nothing but sand - your triggerfingers must be itching already. Ours are!

[AbsntMndedProf]

Yes, our trigger fingers are itchy! But then, with all the desert sand fleas around, we tend to be itchy all over.

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

I call that itchy!!! My poor unsupressed elite class sniper moved one hex up on the ridge, and immediately the 88 spoke!

Btw, great flame rockets;)

Warriors, come out and play-ay...

[AbsntMndedProf]

"Warriors, come out and play-ay..."

We're here! Where are the British?

Btw, awesome 25 pounders!

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

Aargh - too eagle-eyed crewman in those Mg-bunkers and 88 flaks. Some snipers, one Marm-herr, and we noticed that the Germans viciously have mined the approaches:mad:

Do I ever use infiltrators?:p

[AbsntMndedProf]

Shot up the Marm-Herr crew. Not much else happened.

Infiltrators? Hmmmmm!

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

Things are getting interesting - more and more:rolleyes:

[AbsntMndedProf]

In the North, score one MkI Lee tank for the DAK!

In the center, we were sorry to see the SAS squad that infiltrated our lines have to leave so soon!;)

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

Those were not any real SAS-fighters, they were lost and captured Germans that had been sent back wearing Brithish uniforms!:p

Two charging Marm-Herrs lost again - by 88 Flak and PzIII. One Cruiser also got it from a PzIII. We managed to kill one Mg-nest with it's crew, that's all I can tell you.

[AbsntMndedProf]

Two more SAS units sighted. One badly shot up, the other eliminated.

That's about it for this turn.

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

My churchill I lost a duel with Stug's, so did one cruiser. Nstr.

[AbsntMndedProf]

In the center, one Stuart I decrewed and a Mk VIb destroyed.

Two more SAS units showed up, and were swiftly eliminated.

Eric Maietta

[peter hellman]

Lost a couple of Cruisers to a hidden 88Flak:mad: not to the routed one nearby:p

Some losses that are classified happened also. Devastating arty:eek:

At least the Brits killed one MG-nest, one MG and one ammo-truck.

Hardest thing in this scen seems to be movement. As you had noticed, the infantry moves one hex a turn, even some tanks! Our blitz is a slower one, but it's coming, and it'll hit you hard and we'll throw you back

Your move!

[peter hellman]

Just posted on the "opponents wanted" forum. It includes you also;) , if you care to have another one during this one.

[AbsntMndedProf]

In the North, managed to immobilize a Lee I and shoot up its scout passangers.

One more SAS unit dispatched and another on the way soon!

Those churchills in the South have me concerned.

(Another battle sounds good.)
