ANZAC_Blackstump VS ANZAC_Lord4war
on veteran setting 15 minute battles.

1st battle is the AB in the Mederet

Making sure i get a firm hold on the Montbourg VL for further options

Stumpy finds out open ground is deadly,i harrass his arm car with sniper fire.

trying to escape the heat

it gets worse

a sound first up effort the AB securing the Montbourg exit VL was a big gain

2nd battle was Azeville meet eng for AB

Stumpy had plans to kick me off this map,fortunately for me they went all against him Smile

halftrack takes rifle fire from distance and tries to respond

recon team finish it off at close range after rushing it

and sweeping up the last vls

a really good unexpected result,germans wiped from map

My AB wait for the enemy to mass at a point then release there naval barrage

airstrike only injures 2 crew in 3.7cm Pz3

Zook gets his 2nd Pz3 within minutes

assault team cleans up any remaining crew/inf

Stumpy just keeps seeing AB appear out of the hedges destroying Htracks

a good result but could off possibly forced him off map in 1 go here

and gc results after 4 battles

every gap is quickly closed

after having a zook shot glance off front of stug at close range,Stumpy quickly backs up to a safer distance then starts spraying the area where he thinks it is backed up by 12cm mortar.the sturmhaubtze wrecked in the trees just above
was taken out with 2 81mm mortar shots with direct los Smile

stumpy gets his man

hanged on and nearly destroyed a 2nd tank

The Paras have done all the hard work so far,hanging onto every map they have landed on.Now the pressure is on for the beach landing bgs to do their share.

The push on uncle red is sailing along nicely around the 5 minute mark.

then in last minute things start to go wrong taking last vl
flamerthrower team ambushes DD

all the hard ground work on Uncle Red undone in a last careless minute
mStumpy survives another turn on 1 vl ruining supply to the AB on Veirville,St Come. Sad

GC results with Tare Green battle remaining till afternoon movements

The DD tanks lead the way.

trying to kill cursed atg which took out 2 DDs before timer runs out.

A good result for Stumpy with only 13 units defending
damned lone ATG ruined my DDay.

now thats 2 beaches im not getting supply off for the first afternoon battles. Sad

GC result at end of morning on first day.

continuation will be when i run into Stumpy next.
the maps r DDay RX.
during the aars u can see me going on about supply a lot on first morning.
this because the AB BGs no longer get 5 days of supplies.
so by afternoon of first day ur out of supply.
i needed to wipe Stumpy off of Tare Green,Uncle Red & Vierville on the first morning.
this would allow me to get supply to all AB units maybe exception of 1 at St Come Du Mont.
this failed to happen at any of the 3 mentioned maps with Stumpy stubbornly holding onto 1 vl at all of them.
U may of also noticed the order in which the battles unfold.
AB fighting their battles first be4 the beach landing bgs get chance to fight theirs.
this also makes supply more painful problem as the beach battles are last
so i have to fight my AB battles without fuel and ammo.

i moved my AB from Azeville to Montbourg to probe the defences there,and my AB from St Mere to Azeville.
Mederet next battle

Zook lines up arm car with 2 shots

A26 airstrike fails to do any damage to Pz3

here comes the assault.

2nd story guys were getting shot up by a vehicle in open field and were playing a game of rush in and shoot and rush out

done well holding both vls,destroyed an arm car.and made some inroads into his inf,must clear the beaches this round to get supply thru.

i get an ambush on some Fj Aukflarer

than he comes at me on other side

doing best to slow stumpys advance whilst avoiding los with Sturmhaubtze

and i manage to do it long enuff to hold on

pretty even event here,thou i got really squeezed for ground

Stumpy starts hard wanting to gain extra exit vl,i have more than enough crack AB troops to stop his Ostruppen

and the Ost were quickly overpowered

This didnt leave Stumpy with much further area to hide in.I wanted him gone from this map,and allocated my single naval barrage for the afternoon battles to this map

seeing his morale dip i start the riot

swooping down and killing his last men

another map cleared of the enemy

and gc result to date

#14: St Come Du Mont battle afternoon Author: ANZAC_Lord4war, Location: Sydney Australia

bad deployment at start of game by me exposes a garand team to MG fire at start of game

Stumpy brings his Stug into game,Heavy recon team already used their zook ammo (1 shot ) on a missed shot on the stug,now just sitting tight hoping he doesnt have infantry to find them for his stug.

Stumpy trys to push hard for the Carentan VL as i can run behind his lines,even thou i know he has FJ sitting in Carentan,im without fuel and ammo and an attack would be fruitless.
Instead a waiting assault team attacks STumpys Stug as it tries to plough thru stone fence,and successfully destroys it.No more tanks here!

Boy dunno what im gonna do here next.

i use 20/20 image capturing.
Ok i got no pictures for the Uncle Red & Tare Green battles.
Coz in 3rd game @ Montbourg i hit the sleep button instead of print button taking a pic Smile

Stumpy had 6 teams remaining on Uncle Red and a single team on Tare Green.
On Tare Green i took more losses from the damned minepoles and minefields.
Now that the beaches have been freed up on the afternoon of the first day,that is good going for me.With supply getting thru to all but 1 AB bg.

My command team and recon inf take out one of Stumpys forward scouting inf.

CharBis escapes an attempted ambush by recon inf

Garand rifles take action against tank,Stumpy rushes inf to stop the ambush

Heavy recon team take out charbis with a zook.

Recon Inf ambush 2 german teams as they come forward,which earns them the attention of the Sturmhaubtze

But stumpy sends one the other way to get recon inf

Meanwhile Stumpy rushes my supply VL and a lone mort team slow them down long enuff for reinforcements to rush at them from flank.

In stumpys desperation to cut me from supply again,he tries to steal my supply vl with a tank charge in last minute,but a Bar rifle team successfully immobilise him.and the tank gets captured in game results Smile

Stumpys attack run out of steam early and i was able to run 2 units for important vls in last minutes of game.

GC result at the end of first days battle.All beaches cleared !!!

i send an artillery barrage into suspected area of his troops,i soon hear a htrack explode.

Stumpy tries to reinforce the buildings,but i have an inf gun about 250metres down the road hammering any enemy troops that enter that 2 story house or go to the corner of road.

another stuff up not paying attention to what my airstrike was,i end us using a p51 strike on tank,to my surprise one of the 50 cals injures a crew member.

Bar rifles rush in and lob explosives at arm car,but overthrow them only injuring some crew,but they finish him off a moment later with grenades.

sense a moment to steal some easy ground

a zook gets 2 shots off at a Pz3,one has no affect the other splashes harmlessly in water

Engagements happen in many places at same time

Maybe the smoke will save me

Stumpy tries to push

Stumpy goes after inf first ignoring inf gun or he may not have seen it?
Stug survives one side shot from it,but a 2nd in rear immobs him and a 3rd destroys it.

i try to gain some extra gound on other side of map

running into last line of defence

Glad to have destroyed another tank

My command team creeping into 2 story building briefly spot a pak88 where i laid the mortar dot.which killed it with a direct shot after 8 shots.distance was 275metres.

before i know it im under attack on other side of map

1 and a half rifle squads get shot up quick smart,only some mortar support preventing his inf overrunning me,maybe also the stuart and grant as well

i moved grant forward to tackle stug with bar rifles to support,badly timed by me bar rifle get there late,tree blocked los to stug,and had grant had to move,stug got rdy first.i send tank crew to scavenge some weapons

as tank crew scavenge,my inf start to counter back and stumpy pulls his stug back sensing the danger

bring DD in to help mop up resistance

stumpys stug panics,spins sneaking stuart sees a chance lets one off into the rear of the stug at about 80-90metres,no damage,stug spins and stuart backs up

while all this is going on an ambush is set off on the other side of the map

whilst i sorted out the incursion,i return to see the stug pulled right back,and start planning its downfall

airstrike is usually a good way to deal with one,if it hits..and doesnt kill ur own men in the process

Stuart crew scavenging after running into rdy stug,then my grand plan of sherman getting sideshot on stug while he is trying to get stuart is up in smoke,and of course he manages to turn and face my sherman before i can get a shot off Sad

inf take out stug with a scavenge pzfaust or faustpatrone,good he owes me 3 tanks.

Stumpy pulls out his ace a fresh inf squad and quickly cleans up my nervous troops who decide surrendering is better.and keeps a exit vl

the reality of german AT capabilities is rammed home to the allied tank crews

an MG welcoming squad gives me a rude shock,i throw my nades and explosives into wrong room,and squad gets wiped out

forward recon team is fighting a 2nd team in next building,mg still not spotted

a fresh rifle group charge in and find mg in the middle of setting up again

rifle and recon team both turn their attention to remaining team

K next ambush!

didnt take long

well my goal was to not lose a tank Smile

big single VL gain

#30: Reinforcement dates for allies Author: ANZAC_Lord4war, Location: Sydney Australia

Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 2:04 am

Below r the recommended reinforcements dates for the american bgs,reinforcing before the said dates will disadvantage you by bypassing the upgrade path to better units.Their is no disadvantage in reinforcing on or after the said date.
apart from maybe not using up all of ur previous fpools.

An example is to take an AB unit from the 82nd which can reinforce on the 10th June.If u wait till the 10th June the AB will be propped up with a small armour attachment.
Or take the 8/4th if u reinforce on the 9th june or later,all the DD tanks will be replaced by normal shermans.if u reinforce on the 6th,7th or 8th u will only get DD tanks again.
If u r on the 9th June and still have a DD tank in ur first 15 teams,and reinforce
there will be no position in fpool to click DD tank off and u will lose it.But if u keep it in the first 15 teams he can play on as long as he survives and also with the new tanks beside him on battlefield.
BG reinforcement dates
8/4th 9th - 22/4th 9th
505/82nd 10th - 507/82nd 10th - 508/82nd 10th
501/101st 11th - 502/101st 11th - 506/101st 11th

Knowing the size of my deployment in advance,and being out of supply.I decided to bail out.And choose 2 teams instead of 15teams to get slaughtered.

My rifle squad get fried in opening seconds of game from hedgerow,never saw them!And sniper gets taken out 20 seconds into game,Maybe 2 records Smile

Mountberg is temporarily returned to German Hands,but not for long.

Movement was pretty straight forward,I was just hoping Stumpy wasnt thinking of moving his FJ from Chef Du Pont to Veirville.Which would of jeopardised that BG and temp delay supply to St Come.Luckily for me he didnt.

From start of game my rifle group has to retreat from a gun and a halftrack,laid mortar fire onto suspected spot at 225metres with no result from about 15shells

my first team on hedge ambushes stumpies men as he charges into building,he in return ambushes them from hedges,and i have a 2 squads respond to that ambush Smile

Stumpy uses an artillery barrage to take out inf gun,as it was able to pound both 2 story buildings from there.

Fuck a Pz3,time to leave!

then he finds another group to slap about

forgot to check airstrike again,I was desperate..heard a man or 2 die in the house at least,and only just missed my own men

The 50cal is all i got now to surpress men in 2 story house,keeping it on single bursts and flicking back to ambush,it goes undetected.Stumpy ur not allowed to target this spot next game!!!

Bar rifles having retreated from the Pz3 open up on some germ troops trying to gain ground,killing half of them forcing other half to retreat back.

Just as i tell myself im going ok.

Pz ventures forward to sort out the rifle group

Feels like Panzers everywhere

Oh Yea watch this

I had to show some emotion...Notice in the previous shot,When command team tossed explosives,they didnt just take the Pz3 out,but their own Commander as well...any theories?

Then same command team comes charging down the hedge kicking the crap out of some out stumpies men.

Another tuff battle at the Mederet

Fighting breaks out straight away

when the dust settles i got men there and stumpy doesnt

got 2 halftracks and an inf gun closing in on me

Starting to get overun

Finally a Htrack comes into my 30 cals los supported by bar rifles

whilst another 30cal takes care of an attempted rush on flank

Stumpy takes exit vl,but i rush it and contest it at game end

Another tuff battle

Spotted a target for the mortar at close range

Stumpy hits back with an artillery barrage,which by the way he aimed it he thought my forces were further forward than they were.Im sure it killed a few of his guys as well.

i rushed my bar rifles forward to the hedge to help a team which had fire opened on them and with mortar help,finally got over top of them.Stumpy then rushed a squad over to get the bar rifles,they ran into a support section and got ambushed.

I get mg fire in return from 2 story building

time to run and hope arty an air get lucky

Stumpy charges them forward to get me and away from arty

in last minutes i focus on defence of my rear vl

im happy i wore his bg down more,he will be weak here soon

spotted a pak40 & 88,and planted a naval barrage in the centre of them,which got both guns and some inf

i lay my arty next

Bar support team in field,picks the 88 crew off one by one with sniping bursts of fire

i briefly spotted a pak40 and lay a an airstrike on position

a tit for tat airstrike,which damages Stuart and kills 3 inf

Gained F-all ground,but wore this FJ unit out just a bit further.

Naval barrage and an airstrike assigned to Quinville.After 2 battles here i havent gained any exit vls.I need the Azeville exit to stop him cutting off my fresh AB bg in Montberg,and so i can confidently attack with my 12/4th with supply guaranteed.
In Quinvile im down to my last 4 tanks (3xDDs & a minesweeper)which need to be around a further 2 battles to get me to my reinforcing point on the 9th June.

Stumpy is sitting on 3 short barrel Pz4 and 2 long barrel Pz3,why i have to advance carefully.

As soon as i venture forward i have a Pz4 open fire on my men,i call a DD forward.

i come under shrek attack at same time as i destroy pz4

got lucky against air strike

I send a minesweeper one way to get pz3,stumpy sees me coming and tries to meet me near building where he has troops to help him assist in the assault,i had a similar plan
