06.00 in the morning the war between AT_Dima and AT_Red_Scorpion continues...
monteburg,
pushed back the AB in monteburg still keeps the krauts busy. dima isnt letting me go anywhere, and still in lack of heavier support than zooks and 60mm mortars im not yet able to break the tide.
grenadieres supported by befehlspz 39H 736(f) and gun takes 2 story building close to road vl azeville.
keeping zooks on ambush waiting for dima to get uncareful. befehlspz 39H 736(f) goes up in flames.
flak38 gets too close for my taste, and zook hands out card of death
lone commander of befehlspz 39H 736(f) still alive, providing to be a tough target for rifle team.
as too often, no ground gained. attacks being countered. still another gun and light tank down.
azeville,
or "battle for the gun battery". the ost795 battlegroup is stuck in the gun battery. the AB waits outside. dima asked me will it be human wave? i told him, it wont, it will be tsunami...
calm before the storm...
15 units in a bunker isnt a easy task to handle without and strong support such as guns or naval.
however strong the AB is they are seriously outgunned wherever they try to attack. not even gammon and tnt seems to do the job as i see my wall of armed to the teeth killas perish from maxim and ppsh.
georgians take chance of breaking out but god forbid! im prepared for such and AB counter attacks
rifle team retaking bunker.
with only 1 command team left in bg... morale failure, the AB start to surrender... cowards! the osts have now picked up the weapons of the dead paras :mur
engineers make another assault into building and i hope for heroism. still totally outgunned with 5-6 teams still left defending bunker.
either i reinforce next turn to get guns to flush the georgians out, or i come up with some better tactics.
amfreville, 1057/91 escapes GB onslaught in merderet to secure supplies through amfreville. thanks to bugs dima is somehow furnished with ammo and fuel in battle despite not yet having taken road vls. rrrrr :angry1
mortar barrage takes out pak40
pathfinders secure ground down south and rifle teams comes to fortify new front.
not much of a battle. :zzz
chef du pont,
the battle weary AB is still up against the brutal FJs in chef du pont. no matter what i do this is a battle i cant win. 12cm mortars make my stay totally impossible.
taking a little ground in north to take road vl to vierville
12cm shells torment my every move
AB isnt supposed to be here clearly
exposing my hotel du pont by sacrificing so many men by vierville road, the FJs gather up for a total assault. i run 2 teams to counter, and 12cm mortars just blow the men up... not even the wooden ruins of du pont hotel can provide any cover from these giant detonations.
area was empty as far as i saw, and as it was too troublesome to shift forces eastwards dima accepted my offer for truce.
carentan,
airborne in war with eachother.
schreck duelling a zook in western carentan. called upon airstrike to hurt the schreck teams!
massive infantry assault on city hall. the AB defends with gammons and everything they have.
rushing my reserves to counter the deadly FJs
killed all teams in city hall and lost all i had. my last mortar team took care of final 2 FJs in area but didnt manage to recapture flag before timer stopped

Red tried to take 2stry building from the very beginning of the battle by means of 2 Assault Squads and 1 Recon team.But grenadiere were waiting for abs-flanking fire of 2 MG34 and 2 8cm mortars stopped that pathetic attemt.
Abs lost faith in their commander and began to surrender .
grenadiere attacked toward road to Mederet.
Red called for A-26 airstrike to stop victorious grenadiere!!!
After the smoke has dissapeared 1 KIA Grenadier and 1 immobilized H39 was reported .Grenadiere continued to push forward.
Last Bazooka team was annihilated and Marder IIIM captured road to Mederet.
Results of the battle:
Spaher of the 795.OST spotted tanx comming to reinforce ABs so it was oredered to remnants of the battalion to retreat.
Small rear guard remain in Gun Battery bunker to give their last battle.
Abs assaulted from all directions under smoke curtain and covering fire of 2 75mm How and 1 Stuart.

14PM.the battle against the FJs continues!
both objectives, road vl and bridge in east were met early on, and tank and infantry continued to press killing späher team. schreck team however nailed the tank, and i dropped my A-26, but it didnt do its job! meanwhile a schweres ripped through the ad hoc and rifle teams advancing along west hedge.
realising i could press in the centre too i started moving up suppression and infantry move up. tank got nailed by other schreck, but was hunted down and killed and more buildings were taken.
14PM.the now rested gilder battalion of monteburg defends against incursion actually from monteburg by bg escaping from encirclement by reacon BG.
german infantry has amassed behind hedge and my howitzer cant reach it, and my assault is deadly exposed to 2 IGs providing support. my attack is stalled eventually

Meanwhile ABs receive reiforcement and have guns and sev M10 now, so they decided to make full scale attack.But they didn't expect 8.8cm FlaK to barrage them with mighty HE shells.

GzB39 knocks out 2 tanks in 30 seconds and i cant even see where he is firing from.
the team is hiding by the destroyed Flak it turns out!
too many tanks go up in flames as i try to push with full force, being unable to clear out every hedge and house by infantry! pioneere throw TNT on my approaching men...
and result is a nightmare, despite map is virtually mine!

14PM.the attack continues...
with a strong armour movement through wooden areas, with support teams.
engineers toast the remains of Pak38 crew!
pleased with results, as i am able to fend off a last minute counter attack in the north, apart from loosing control of Chateau du Gourday! the most succesful part of attack was KOing both Flammer BIS without them even killing an allied soldier!!!
Valognes,
6AM.the 358/90 continues its attack into Valognes.
as main threat here to allied advance on this map is StuGs, i decide to set up a defensive line of 57mm guns, and bait the germans with a M7 halftrack.
the krauts take the bait, and my 57mms KO a Stug, Flak halftrack and 2 Pak40s at out set of game. then dima realises the threat, and takes out first gun. i try move gun over hedge to get LOS on 2nd StuG, but StuG sees it and the 57mm refuses to turn in the thick hedge, and is KOed too.
a sherman goes down the drain too, but in the end the result is a success with merely 1 StuG left!
14PM. hostilities resume in the afternoon after lunch break!
infantry assault along northern houses, supported by M5A1!
last StuG is knocked out by 57mm as it tries manouver in the open terrain!
Amfreville,
6AM.this bloody map is giving the AB a great deal of pain; along with St Come du Mont its the mapwhere the allies have suffered the worst losses. however, the grinding machinery of attrition is wearing the krauts down to Schrecks and MGs and heavy Guns. dima is forced to use his precious AT units against my infantry!
the attack is spearheaded on the Chateau building, under a heavy smoke screen!
despite the power of a howitzer to suppress house, mortars and a mg makes mince meat of my troops!
things starting to go real well, first schreck is killed by infantry attack! nades and bayonetts!
USAF is called upon, but does a lousy job! however, infantry continues to kill a 2nd hero schreck!
at this point a third schreck is killed, and tanktrap VL is in allied hands!
14PM.Amfreville under continuous assault. germans without supplies, cornered!
in previous battles, dima placed his Flak36 south by crossroads, inflicting heavy casualties on me, but
this time i was prepared and had 57mm ready for it!
Chateau is retaken!
situation is clearing up for allied troops, but still lots of fighting to be done.
Pont L'Abbe,
6AM.the 1/6 FJs are under attack by armoured 357/90!
12cm mortar do their job stopping assault by immobilising and totally screwing 4 tanks!

14PM.the attack continues!
heavy mortars and schrecks! death in abundance for allied soldiers!
the blood runs in the green grass...
little progress... but i will turn the tables soon!
Auvers,
6AM.II/6 FJ still defending Auvers in morning! last Flak is destroyed by barrage and 30cal HMG!
12cm mortars and schreck makes this path to victory strewn with corpses...
14PM.german sends in reinforcements, 38/17SS as FJs were out of guns, and running low on schrecks!
the infantry is stopped by mortars...
and 2 StuGs are knocked out by tank and ATG, yet 2 guns are lost!
2 more StuGs immobilised on hedges, later i found out 1 of them was gone. dima lost 40% of his StuGs in
1 engagement!
St come du mont,
6AM.i am not going anywhere here. despite FJs are out of supply, they put up a wall of defense.
attrition is still working well, and they are down to 1 gun and 1 schreck.
in afternoon i asked for truce as i ran out of ideas here...
