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

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!

A sandstorm? We will take advantage of that...
Nothing wrong with the preferences, let's continue.
The Death machine is rolling:mad:

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

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

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

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...

"Warriors, come out and play-ay..."
We're here! Where are the British?
Btw, awesome 25 pounders!

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

Shot up the Marm-Herr crew. Not much else happened.
Infiltrators? Hmmmmm!

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!;)

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.

Two more SAS units sighted. One badly shot up, the other eliminated.
That's about it for this turn.

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!

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

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.)
