A Marine Madness, Preset game for VikingNo2 and Belisarius

Hi Guys,

It took me a while to get things together, interrupted by real life and the US Masters…

It’s hard to find a story to fit this battle, so you better just slug it out.

Setup and conditions;
Marines vs. Marines, Europe?! August 1944, approximately 9000p. Visibility 25, weather's clear.
Viking is player 1 and gets some armor support from his Anzac neighbors.
Bel is player 2 and gets his armor support from his European allies – the British. Bels’ HQ is also changed to US for practical reasons, easier to spot VHs’ etc…

I have to apologize for an error made with the map. The US owns the southern central VH from the beginning. This was not my purpose, it should be neutral, but I couldn’t find the time to start the setup all over again for this single mistake. Try not to take advantage but treat it as neutral.

You should both get your PWs’ in your inboxes.

Have Fun
/Lars

Lars the Password you sent me is not working?:(

Hmm... mine works, so it might be that I should deploy first?

Either way I did, so try this one V-man.

B-man's Marine Air attacks in force causing me some casualties.

I would like to inform everyone the my opponent has the evil Marines :rolleyes:

The big green Machine is on the move, orders to the troop close with and destroy the enemy by fire and manuver the battle plans fall under the KISS plan.

Keep
It
Simple
Stupid ( For those that don't know )

For the record, V-man has a group of his own kind as well... evil Marines

I have no idea of the disposition of his forces, but I guess they're somewhat similar to mine....

I figured V2 would load his AA up, so I gave my flyboys the go-ahead for overpass of the enemy lines. 1000lb bombs! :p Unfortunately, I didn't get to see them on the replay, so damage is unknown.

After much packing and unpacking, reversing, tricking, edging and swearing everyone is where they're supposed to be, only minutes before H hour.

Squads have jumped into a ride only to find out that their platoon is at the other flank, scouts have found themselves at the wrong points... the list goes on. In other words - a PERFECT assembly!

Artillery is silent on both sides - guess we're both waiting for contact. We have a vague idea of what we want to achieve, so it's FULL SPEED AHEAD! SEMPER FI and all that!

Viking, since we have quite large armies, how about holding reinforcements until turn 10?

El bumpo.

......eh I know, but I figured it'll be easier to find it this way. :p

Here you go trying to remember, what I was doing.

I figured out my plan, kill all his stuff:rolleyes:

Yeah that's the ticket

It's been a while, I have forgotten what troops are where, so the general order is just "Forwaaard!". :rolleyes:

Enemy flyboys are busy today. An advanced scout party is completely wiped out by a SBD Dauntless, while we manage to damage a second one flying into our Flak Alley. A Corsair pilot is not impressed and finished the round by killing two DUKW and most of their passengers.

No other contact made.

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Sun Jun 08, 2003 11:15 pm

Still no major contact, my planes go in for the attack, the get shot up some, almost every vehicel you fly over has mutiple .50 cals:eek:

Light tanks will tangle soon;)

It'll be a few days before I'm back...my XP decided to go AWOL on me last night.

I get a Blue Screen on startup!

Will try a reinstall.

No problem B-Man, you wait a month and a half so I guess I can wait a couple of days:rolleyes:

Belisarius · Post by **Belisarius** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 12:21 am

Thanx, JJ!

I'm up and running again and it seems I've been able to rescue most of my data, including all games!!

I'll post turn tomorrow, after I've fixed my car. (which I'm now driving illegally until it passes inspection)

Belisarius · Post by **Belisarius** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 12:20 am

Car's fixed and alright, so here we go.

Viking flyboys comes in for another flyover and cause much havoc on my forward units. A scout AC of his came a bit too far and obviously liked what he saw, as my vanguard came under attention from a platoon of 60mm, a guess ALL his 75mm HTs and a crapload of planes.

Good thing I don't have to worry about those bombs, and all my tanks are still unscathed. :p

We race forward at top speed, so everyone has ended up in less than ideal positions. I expect a lot of my transports to be shot up by the end of Viking's turn....

Sent a lone "scout" plane to see what's going on. He put some bullets into a mortar, but I guess that's it.

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 7:43 am

A few of the evil Marines light tanks die, but I will most likely pay a high price for it.

Moving to contact, full speed ahaed:D

Bump

Your evil Marines must be thinking:rolleyes:

Belisarius · Post by **Belisarius** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 1:56 pm

We are. Mind you, it's YOU that's the evil marines! We're the peace-loving U.S. army. See the flags?

I was playing last night when half-way into the turn my computer just shut down and rebooted on me.

I'll reload the files and replay tonight, making every effort of re-creating the moves I did yesterday, if that's OK.

Well, I now know a few isolated hexes where the * pings up, and maaaaybe I won't park in them this time....you'll have your chance anyway. :p
