#201: Arnhem West Approach- Vickers MG destroyed Author: sigeena,  PostPosted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 9:42 am
    —
Our Vickers MG was trapped and fought to the last against overwhelming enemy numbers.

Right as the Germans thought that our flank has crumbled, their AC move forward far too recklessly and was destroyed by our PIAT team. We quickly rush a Rifle team forward to support the PIAT and stabilised our flank.

After stabilising our flank. We move forward to the counter attack.

Both Recon and Rifle teams moved in mutual support and retook the van Sant's House and to Arnhem VLs. The enemy troopers, demoralised after their heavy losses, surrendered en-masse. We have an excellent victory.

Soldiers 18 35

Col. Frost will be supported for another night.

#203: Nijmegen Bridge Teams and Start Author: sigeena,  PostPosted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 1:24 pm

We head back to Nijmegen Bridge, securing our previous gains and clearing more terrain.

During the pause of 4 hrs, we took on more infantry reinforcements of 1 Rifle and 1 Ad Hoc teams.

We position our teams to first overlook areas that are yet under our control and will systematically flush the enemy from the buildings around the VLs to the top of the map, working from the bottom up.

We rush and overwhelm the enemy with the speed of our attack. We quickly destroy a MG 42 and Reserve team by taking them from both directions at the same time.

Without giving the enemy space to pause and breathe, we succeed in closing down all their options.

Once we clear most of the built-up area, we begin to sneak our Ad Hoc team into the park towards the riverbank. The enemy will be expecting our assault from the main force, they'll not be prepared to receive our Ad Hoc team grabbing the VLs.

#205: Nijmegen Bridge Captured! Author: sigeena,  PostPosted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 1:35 pm

There was very little need to feint. The crust has already been broken through. We push our teams forward, covering each other. The final enemy was a Scharfschutze.

We have succeeded in capturing Nijmegen Bridge. XXX Corps will only need to bring up the boats for an assault crossing to secure the far bank. That should occur by mid of 3rd day.

We had anticipated the enemy to attack with tanks and once we spotted it, the order was given, to silently withdraw. We'll keep ourselves in better shape to fight them.


This is grist to the mill in the debate about being able to withdraw from maps. In the later versions of the game you'd have to stay and be slaughtered.
#208: Groesbeek LZ Teams and Plan Author: sigeena,  PostPosted: Sat Oct 16, 2010 11:09 am

The enemy has launched another dawn assault to take the LZ.

Overnight, we have strengthened our forces with 1 team of the following types, BAR, Recon, Bazooka, and .30 cal MG.

The plan this morning was to spoil the enemy concentration by leading our attack into the vicinity of the villa. To that effort, we have placed 1 BAR, 2 Rifle, 1 Recon to conduct this assault. A BAR, .30 cal MG and Bazooka team will support them.

We keep the rest of the teams in a reserve line, just in case things should go wrong.

#209: Groesbeek LZ- Enemy heavies Author: sigeena,  PostPosted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:28 am

As anticipated in the previous day's fight, the enemy had some heavy equipment to play with.

Here, they brought along 3 HT and a Anti-Tank Gun.

We have to quickly destroy this fellas if we hope to sustain our assault. We concentrated our fires to take them out as they came into the open. And after some brisk work, knocked them all out.

#210: Groesbeek LZ- Bloody Villa Author: sigeena,  PostPosted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:32 am

Our Recon team was the first into the villa but before they can reorganise themselves to cover all approaches, the enemy stormed back and retook the villa.

We decide to cede control of the building once we lose the accompanying Rifle team. It's time to back off and pull back to our second line along the Stables VL, where our .30 cal MG would be able to anchor the line.

#211: Groesbeek LZ- Complete loss of Assault teams Author: sigeena,  PostPosted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:37 am

Perhaps we moved too slowly, or perhaps the enemy was just buoyed by their successful actions in the villa. They pursued our teams as we tried to break contact but we weren't successful in breaking cleanly enough. Here we suffer the complete loss of the assault teams, 1 BAR, 2 Rifle and 1 Recon.

We tried to regroup near the Stables VL, where our MG team is able to stiffen up the line.

#212: Groesbeek LZ- Ceasefire Author: sigeena,  PostPosted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:48 am

It was no good. As our mortars fell silent due to insufficient ammo, the enemy stormed forward again and carried the Stables VL. Our 2nd Line was swept away.

With that, we decide on asking for ceasefire terms and the Germans concurred. Though the enemy had only gained 1 VL, we had already lost the initiative here. The Groesbeek LZ is closed.

Allies Germans
Soldiers 47 67
Losses 25 18
Remaining 22 49

We ask for 7 hrs ceasefire. If we're lucky, we should have XXX Corps' armour to back us up by then.
