hOsTyLe (TITI) joined the Campaign as the German defenders at Tare Green, Utah Beach.
The battle began with an instant immobilizing AT round to one of the DD's. For some reason the Allied 81mm mortar wouldn't set up to fire smoke or HE rounds ... but the other DD was able to fire at the AT position. All infantry units moved towards the sea wall in three groups. MG bunker fire kept some back while others gained ground and cover.
The other DD was targeted by the AT gun, after knocking out the first. The exchange of fire between the AT gun and DD, ended with another knocked out Sherman, but finally the 81mm mortar lobbed some heavy stuff at the AT position and knocked it out within minutes.
Two infantry groups pushed ahead to engage MG's and units of German defenders woven into the hedges, at the two near beach VL's. Suppression fire and combined assaults from different angles were unable to remove these two groups, and both sides counted mounting casualties ... higher Allied.
Meanwhile the third Allied group (without a command unit) found a seam in the defenses, and exhausted themselves moving across map length distance to capture the inland VL's. They gathered themselves together and moved into a rear attack on one of the surrounded German pockets, but the battle ended close to the 30 minute time limit, due to both sides becoming too exhausted.
Very interesting, and hard found battle.
Welcome to the Campaign hOsTyLe.

Hooked up with 7A_ Priapus at St. Germain De Varreville for a continuation of this map's battle.
A real tough grind for both sides ... very interesting and extremely hard fought battle.

The invasion continues, as the 116/29 ID came ashore at Dog Green Omaha.
cOMRADvZAD (_tartarean) commanded the shore defences.
Another hard fought battle ... major Allied victory, ended near time out with both sides exhausted.

Versus hOsTyLe at Dog Red
We hit the beaches and immediately our 2 Shermans were engaged by PaK fire from a bunker on the hill. We hit that bunker with Artillery, MG suppressive fire, Sherman 75mm gun fire and a pair of 60mm mortars blasting away...but could not stop it. After losing our tanks, it was easy for the Germans to pick our men off on the beach.
Versus hOsTyLe at Easy Red
None of our DD tanks were able to participate in this bloodbath on the beach. Another battle that cost us dearly for ground.
A fine defense by hOsTyLe.
Here's the link to the Allied save:
Allied save #14

Continued the Omaha landings with hOsTyLe ... Fox Green and then over to Pointe Du Hoc.
Both were brutal defeats for the Allies ... very well defended by hOsTyLe.
Don't know how we're ever going to get off these Omaha beaches.

Yikes, should have quit while I was a bit behind.
Took a last look at Hamanchi and saw lorman ... so off we went to continue the battle at Merville Battery.
I made a big mistake of putting 5 or 6 units in the houses shared or near German held VL's. Of course lorman stacked the area with his troops and lined up MG fire on the buildings from further out. Was some serious fighting going on.
The other side of the map near the Pegasus Bridge exit ... laid some serious suppression on an AT gun and troops, and then rushed and overtook the position.
Meanwhile back at the houses ... things weren't going too well, and the Germans smoked and rushed one of the buildings and the Allies units were lost. The Allies called for a Naval barrage that did some damage to those advancing soldiers, but there was enough to take out the rest of the Allied units.
The units on the other side could have just moved back to the Pegasus Bridge VL and been happy to have gained the high ground VL with trenches and gun pit ... but I tried moving a few units to the back of the battery, and after taking some fire, decided to move back to Peg Bridge VL. I had also sent a MG team to aid the failing units at the houses, but it was too late, and they got picked off in the field.
At that time Allied moral broke and two VL's under my control were conceded by the game, and was left only the high ground VL.
Got to greedy ... and panicked trying to save the other group. Sorry Allied team for the lost ground.
Lorman defended well.
I'm about to have a morale break myself ... lol

QUESTION: Are we using the "VL" rule in regards to deployment?
VL Rule: A player may only deploy forces in setup areas that are solidly (or 'block') connected to a VL under friendly control. Areas touching by corner only are not considered to be connected. Example of what would be allowed in a German deploy (Green=yes, Red=no):

hOsTyLe vs. namztukxam
Met with hOsTyLe at Ouistreham. After being all but routed in our last battle and seeing some of the recent allied results, I decided to be very patient and just gain a good foothold for next turn. Great defense by hOsTyLe!

Good strategy namztukxam ... I was thinking of doing the same myself, next time in. It's not worth taking the chance of having a morale failure, resulting in the loss of hard fought VL's.

To keep things moving, fought 2 battles as Axis - did my best...
Versus Davidssfx at Sword Beach
Tough fight for beachfront property on this famous beach.
Allies broke morale when their AVRE struck an anti-tank mine and went up in flames.
Versus Davidssfx at Pegasus Bridge
Ost was outgunned but put up a heroic defense. Davidssfx used a combined arms approach to secure the bridges and a classic bayonet charge to wipe out Osttruppen in the hedgerows.
Here is the AXIS save:

lorman and I continued the Campaign at the beach of Arromanches.
Some shore-side real estate was gained by cautious Allied movement, due to an eerie silence from German controlled buildings closest to the beach. Next Allied turn here beware, cause I think there is still a sizable German presence lurking.

The second Strategic turn was administered by hOsTyLe (Axis side) and myself.
After movement and support was decided upon ... the first of second wave Allied forces battled to secure the Uncle Red beach.
