day 24th,
the impossible victory for the allies, now with the panther constanly destorying my forces and reds luck in keeping me at bay in all other sectors i hav to realise that now i cannot win this gc and so i must fight to get a minor loss! if i can get a minor loss then it gives me good hope when i'm gerry to get a major!
hermaville,
the forces of my BG try their best to keep gerry at bay but with panthers theres not much i can do expect hope that my support can aid us but to no effect a airstrike run jsut damages a cat
even with my 17pdr watching the cat for a good 10mins aiming pricesly where to hit its weak armour, the shot jsut bounces off and the cat turns it turret and KA-BOOM!
not a good result lots more ground taken as well as losing the map basically in 3 tuns than capturing it in 15 turns!! this is gonna be hard to kill these cats! but i must try
lebesily woods,
the slaughter carries on more inf die at the hands of the SS! dammit what can i do!!!
with little relief and with the loss of this map i use my air to kil of a flak 20mm a small prize to take.
but in the end a slughter vs this SS BG which i hate.
bretville,
well this germ bg just seems to keep anoying me even with no inf!! here i call on an airstrike to help kill a inf nest but nope, as usual red keeps his men alive (somehow)
the centre turns into mayheem, with me having to many tanks and not enough inf red can use his ATG and shrecks to counter and red can wait and mow me down.
ground taken but not enough and to many losses. ggggrrr!
cristot,
well a little ray of light. red has ost on the frontline!! shows how desprate the situation is and as u expect i take full adv with wasp flammers going mad!
but total map taken in one turn hurray!! at least i got a map back guys, cant b bad.
but can u belie this!! the first time in ccin for yrs i get the VC!! i can't belive it!
has anyone got a VC before???
bois du bugray,
wel sooner of later red is gonna run out of inf right?? well atm it seems the layout of the land vs ss isn't a good combo for me as another tank is added to the scrap pile!
well more guys dead!! omg i'm sssssssssoooooooo gonna loose this!
I NEED ADVISE OR HELP I'M GONNA GET DESTORIED COZ I AN'T GETTIN NO LUCK!!!!!!
25th june morning turn
AT LAST me and red carry on this great GC after both of us having holidays and work we are able to fight more and bring you guys these whicked AAR's and battles.
Perriers Ridge
red attacks south with alot of inf and some panther armour is called in to support his attack, after a forced attack south red manages to open the south flank of my bg open and gains another VL but suffers more inf casualties and 2 more damaged cats
benouville
anotehr hard day for the AB vs the dammed SS, the countless lives of the ab to hold the ss is ling and this SS BG has caused me alot of pain in this GC and i only hope that this BG will finally die!!
even the RAF can't dislodge the SS!
and more ground is lsot and yet more lives are lsot to!
buron
attacking into this map vs reds weak BG here seemed a good idea with only 3 jags left and some inf, attacking a big map with tnaks and guns in plenty still didn't work good
once agian the airstrikes did shit and were of no use in this fight
and reds armour advances up the map thru the fields taking 6 pdr and 17 pdr shots as if they were jsut merely bullets!
by the end of the result it turned into a disaster! a big one
bretville
the final attack had to come and i decided that now was the time, after deciding to select 5 tanks on the right flank i advanced using the fire and move tatic with 3 tanks firing and 2 moving 50 meters then swapping over, a tatic which kept reds shrecks at bay
by the end of the move i had got my inf across the bridge and was clearing reds last restance from the map!
but i had jsut fallen short of taking the whole map! dammit
cristot
red decides not to lose the last soldiers of his SS tank (lol tanks!?) BG and loses a halftrack giving me the map
carpquet
facing anotehr shit bg red has that has only 5cm mortars and some vecs defending this map i was unluckly not to take the whole map!
colombelles
well this factory map attacking into this omg i hate it! i really do!! but i gotta keep red at bay and for once i'm facing a BG here which in fact has a decent amount of inf and equipment! looks like a big haul of a fight to come!
well by the end of the fight it was a ok result but i will need to do better next time! as this map has to be taken! to ensure total encirclement of caen
bois du bougray
hahaha finally i'm making red suffer killing his last two ATG guns and with a few teams left and a shreck red is gonna lose this map!!!
i have to retreat my panther BG from periers. situation becoming harder as lambi has managed encircling me by a knifelike move from north west cutting all supplies for the strong center of my defense. the flank was held by weak bgs, and instead of a fresh SS appearing on 23rd to defend tilly from such a
move there only appeared previously disbanded BGs! oh horror!
Benouville,
SS keeps punishing the ABs keeping all allied sector south of pegasus out of supply! lambi trying again to assault my exit vl, but i have anticipated such a move and take him out along with his polston.
moving south to take chateau
even took pegasus vl!
Buron,
my BG dealing with another allied incursion. the deathblow to this AB bg!
no more AB here for a while thank you
Caen,
the BG i put in charge of this important map is unfortunately an old bg from the beach days!
lamb's VC decorated Wasp supports a massive brit assault!
without AT weaponry i can only delay his advance.
bad for me this one! brrr, but VC Wasp was killed by sniper
Juvigny,
fresh blood resides in Juvigny, lambi decide to make an attack there. a very bad idea.
the house being crucial to both sides, we face each other in there. this time lambi is kicked out and killed.
6 pounder and M10 meets their death at hands of SS
be gone ye evil!
Colombelles,
the steelworks are covered in blood.
made an aggressive attack to throw lambi off the map. game started with 88 killing sherman, but a 6pounder took out 88, then a pak 3.7cm along with mg dealt with 6pder, and then command sherman moved
up and killed 3.7cm. TIT FOR TAT!
selfpropelled pak40 killed command sherman, and now 88 killing fly in duel!
no disband but shook lambi around enough for him to move back to benouville (i suppose)
Bois du Bavent,
well germans pushed back into corner of map lacking fuel and supplies.
lambi throwing everything he has left in his BG against the fiersome german resistance!
but everything bleeds, and everything dies. his mobile sherman pays the price for messing around within faust range!
still on the map!
nasty situation that i hope will clear up next round a little!
the fighting between the two mighty armies carries on with some very intresting results!
benouville
the decide the AB cannot shift the germ ss BG here and sending in my armoured BG bk into this map to restablish supplies in required. as the fight kicks off red has a pak 88 defending the road, i hav scouts with rifles anoying the pak 43 whislt the FF deals the blow
i try to force the road to the coat but red holds me bk but nxt time that road will be mine!
buron
another pointless attack by me but i send in my crap units to do some more damge on red before i send in the hardcore stuff
lebsily woods
attacking into panthers wouldn't be a good idea but i had to try it, taking m10's 6 pdrs and sum 17 pdrs i try to force a gap but red decides to attack head on and the attack turns into a slaughter!
even red takes losses but no tanks jsut all his inf teams he took died whilst i lost everything lol! i will kill those panthers!
caen
i realise time is running out to take this map and sooner or later red is gonna send in the panthers so i gotta do sumthing! i decide to charge into reds lines and take wot vl's i can and jsut anoy him, which sorta works but i lose a tank bugga!
lingervers
red enters here but i need to kick him bk so i decide to go on the attack, goes okay but i take losses but above all make reds deployment smaller
tilly sur le sures
in such a late gc time and facing a fresh ss BG with shrecks and stugs i try to make decent ground on this map so i can gain time and tie this bg up! my men make a move but a team is hit by mortars and takes casualties
took sum bad losses and ground but facing SS what can u do?
cristot
red sends in a weak bg to hold me up but i totally lambinate him and whats left of this BG, muuhahaha
troan
well my bg here needs to secure the north and with no gas and facing a weak ss bg with a pz mk 4 left gonna be tricky but i manage to pull it off and give red sum punishment whilst only losing 1 man! get in
colombelles
well this map is such a pain in the ass. me and red are taking major inf, vec and guns losses but i am able to take the damage as i havn't reinforced this bg yet and the more damage i do on red the less offensive capabilities he will hav! still on but jsut
bois du bougray
i meetin with this map but sucess and finally time prepails reds bg here can't make its trength as it used to and finally it shows with red losing the msot of the map! finally this map is within my grasp!!!
finally morning turn posted sry for delay guys/gals
red shud shud psot afternoon turn shortly as we hav completed that round!
Putting my panthers into action desperately trying to break out of der Kessel around my stronghold in central normandy. big losses, 5 cats, but lambi's bg lost all its FFs and Avres
Juvigny
my battlegroup is totally depleted, but what i have in abundancy is halftracks, so i set them up to block the only passages over the river and lambi's infantry has to come on its own to face my 3-4 teams. it worked as im not disbanded!
Tilly sur Suelles,
lambi loosing 3 of the last 4 Shermans in 1 battle and my Assault Guns all survive despite being immobilised and tormented by airstrikes and all.
Colombelles,
lambi reinforces his battlegroup, but i still decide to kick him off! mission succesful!
Bois du Bavent,
lambi pays my service of disbandment back, and finally tosses off the last remains of the hitlerjugend here. i didnt even have teams to fill out the slots and still they fought til the bitter end! well done boys!
