[DampSquib]

Oooh another good win...Not on a surrouned map may i add.

[DampSquib]

Map Longuevi....(MMCC3 test 4).

Starting BG in pic with my postion at the start of the map.
150 points to spend,but i decided to stick with what i have.

[DampSquib]

Straight away from the off the 128mm FH K-44 comes into view.
Along with 2 sets of Inf.
The AT gun doesn't get the chance to take a shot.
Hit by the North East Sherman & my own AT gun.
The South East Sherman DD + Recon Inf Fire on the German Inf.
Along with the two North East Mortar Teams.
Not long after that the first sight of German armour comes into view.
Kept safe between the houses..it has a clear LOS to my AT.
I quickly turn the North East Sherman on it,along with my AT gun.
It gets the shot off first hiting my AT men...2 injured but none dead.
I throw some Mortar rounds at it & place Smoke in its view.
My Sherman takes a shot...hits but no damage,the tank backs off.
I take my Sherman DD towards the 128mm FH K-44.
Straight away a Command Team appears,the Sherman DD finishes them off.
Then it grabs the VL & heads South to meet the other Teams...
Who are now going towards the Hedgerow.
The South East Sherman Gets the first sight of the enemy.
2nd line Inf....my Recon team & Bazooka team follow close to the Sherman.
Ersatzpioniere are near...to close for my liking.
They get a shot off hiting the Sherman, 1 man injured & the tank damaged.
The sherman continues to fire...i rush the Recon & Bazooka Teams close.
The Sherman DD is now safely out of the LOS..so can now lend assistance.
The german armour did try for a shot at the Sherman DD.
But quickly backed off again.
The german Inf is quickly killed & no others appear in range.
Back at the North East i start to move my 3 Sherman's & Inf.
As soon as i get near the hedgerow more 2nd line inf appear.
A few shots later & they surrender...not much of a fight.
I continue to move the North East Team North West.
The South East Team moves South West.
I use my Recon Team to Sneak to the 2nd VL in the field.
They grab the VL & sneak back....very Uneventful.
That's it....all over..time has run out.

A nice easy win...this is early on with a team that's had 3 battles.
So things should heat up...over the next few games.

The Results.

[DampSquib]

Map Mosles.
Me the US.... AI Germans.
Starting placement in pic.

The starting VL's places me right next to the germans.
A small map ideal for quick battles.
No idea what the red dot is....[&:]

[DampSquib]

From the go...we have german armour right in view & Inf.
A StuH...not strong but enough of a threat to sherman DD's.
Close to the road second pic...Ersatzmfantrie come into view.
I attack them with my engineers
The StuH begins to attack the Assault team.
No LOS from my Sherman or Sherman DD's..yet!!!
I move my bazooka team towards the armour...& slowly edge the sherman DD with them.
At the same time moving the other 2 Sherman DD's Closer.
They come accross the road without incident..nothing seen along the way.
A mark IVH comes into view & appears to move away.
I stick a few mortar rounds on top of the StuH.
The StuH falls for the bait & slowly comes towards the bazooka team.

[DampSquib]

The StuH turns to attack the sherman...it's now caught.
2 shermans 1 sherman DD & my bazooka team attack it.
The armour gets a few shots off before it's done.
Disabling the sherman,but it should be safe there between the hedges.
The sherman continues to fire & kills the tank crew.
The Mark IVH has popped back into view along now with a Stug.
2 more Mark IVH appear on the road below...Ahhhhh how many more.
Shots come from the hedge & field near the Stug & Mark IVH.
I take the Bar team near the Sherman & move them into the building.
In the hope of getting LOS on whats fireing from that direction.
The Bar team come under a fair amount of fire.
Inf are on the hedge right next to the VL...so what else is there..???
I move my Bazookka team towards the Mark IVH..hopeing to get a sneeky shot off.
At the same time fireing off more mortar at the Stug & Mark IVH.

[DampSquib]

I move 1 Sherman DD around the back of the Bar team.
A bad idea this turned out to be.
A shot comes from the field hits the sherman DD.
It's done for..i try to pull whats left of the crew to the other side of the hedge.
Damn my sherman was hit...i was busy trying to save the Bar & Sherman DD.
I have no idea what hit it....[:@]
I start to move my Engineer team fireing at the Ersatzmfantrie across the road.
I leave the recon team to mop up whats left of the the Ersatzmfantrie.
German Mortar takes out my M20 & then the 57mm AT gun.
2 AT men left alive.
The bazooka team get off 1 shot at the Mark IVH.
Nothing happens,oh dear....they are ripped apart by the mark IVH.
Quickly i place 1 sherman DD to take the german Inf out.
The guy's on the corner of the hedge & the 2nd storey building.
I now have my engineers across the road.
And they can come straight through the 2nd storey building
I take them into the building near the Stug.
They hit the Stug..it's gone...but the Mark IVH now has it's revenge.
The engineer team is KIA...for the price of 1 Stug...[:@]
Time for another go...this time with my Assault team & Flame Dude.
The Assault team draw the fire of the Mark IV.
Flame dude start to cook...mmmm crispy!!!
Booom it's gone.
Next to the german VL in the pic is 1 german Inf with a panzershreck.
Mmm maybe he got the Sherman DD on the corner..????

[DampSquib]

Time to move the Attack team into the building next door.
I bring both sherman DD's down towards the field.
At last i can get rid of the Heavy MG.
Kill off whats left of the German Inf around that area.
The Attack team kills a few German Inf..but gets pinned by the Mark IVH.
More men dead...the mark IVH inflicting heavy losses.
It comes up close enough for me to try FLame dude one last time.
I run my flame dude out far enough just to roast it.
Quickly rushing him back into the building after the jobs done.
The 2 Sherman DD's mop up around the VL.
That's it after the Mark IVH went boom the germans gave in.
