Gavrus (meeting)


-------------------------------------------------------------

Pzt_Verboten Report: Meeting engagement

"Caught up with ANZAC Lord4War and had a battle:

The strat as ordered:



When the flag fell things got off to a heated start. Mortar rounds were flying all over the place. Lord4War had a couple of 3" tubes plus a barrage aimed at me. I had troops dispersed so as not to get hit too hard (unlike in Pzt War II) worked well. Here my valiant mortar crews tag an M10:



The SP guns take on British infantry. I was able to use tactics like this all through the game. These assult guns/tank destroyers are real force multipliers:



Infantry tried to ambush my assult gun so I got the 88 in action. L4W tried to hit me with an airstrike, which killed all but one member of the ATG crew, but left the assult gun intact.



As time was ticking down I made an infantry assult using fire and movement to grab the east VL. I didn't get there in time but here is the end result:




This was a great game. This OP rocks!

Following Verbotens game with L4W,
Anzac_TACK and I fought the final battle to complete this first day of the war.

ANZAC_TACK vs Pzt_Wruff

Wruff report:
Attrition is the name of the game. Do as much damage as I could.


Tack showed signs of an allied assault accross the south road. Spending his air and mortar strikes on the same area.
Neither of their strikes doing any damage.


Allies stick their noses out the windows and get them shot off.
Allies forward into the next building in the south and are met by my grenadiers and killed.
I later forwarded this team into the 3 story building and they were met by an allied team and KIA.


Forward positions!


Allied armor moves in to engage. Pzt close infantry assault on the M10!


Map result:


all in all they lost 3 teams and a tank. We lost 2 teams.

Day one is complete.
Fight on towards VICTORY!

[Pzt_Wruff]

Met Lord4War for strat and fighting.

Strat Result:



Pzt_Wruff vs ANZAC_Lord4War
Pzt attacking into Tourville in a compromising position.
Deploying in the open.


As expected, guns were blazing from the start.
ANZAC Churchill falls to my 8.8 ATG. A halftrack lent a hand.
Another Churchill in the woods next to it is immobilized before my 8.8 goes up in smoke.


L4W uses his airstrike on my SF. The SoftShell comes out unharmed. There's still an allied Staghound that I'm playin cat and mouse with NorthEast of my position.


The Staghound goes up in smoke.
Pzt assaults forward into the woods and north into the buildings, driving on and securing the Gavrus VL.


In a battle where the walls could have caved in the germans ends on a favorable result. Forwarding positions and hammering the allied BG. Killing their valuable armor.


Hell of a tense (and fun) fight. Good one War.

Pzt_Mac vs ANZAC_Lord4War

Mac Report:



"So attacking into Juvigney was a hard go. They only had 3 M10 tanks left, so my goals were to hold on and gain some ground and kill as many of those bastard tanks as I could.

I basically brought everyone -

I clawed my way from building to building. He held a lot of the high ground, so I couldn't move without him noticing me > But still I managed to forward a bit of my position.


Likewise, I had some good positon so could see him quite a bit too. We pounded away at eachother in our respective homes, trying to bring our tanks to bare without overexposing, which didn't work for either of us.
I got his M10 on the street with an airstrike: the M10 in the South was amazing. It took out 3 of my tanks
:'( (all of which got a shot or two or three at it) but nothing could stop that damn thing... until my 88 found it


Another M10 in the North gave close support to his advancing infantry, while my Gren team in a 2 story took out it's leader and gunner. L4W mortar barrage imob'd my other tank. I basically ran in every direction gaining meters here and there.

Here's how it ended.

PZT Verboten V ANZAC_Blackstump ... Verboten opens up for a slugfest at Lingevres.....soft top and 1/2 track get caught between a rock and a hard place

gerry persists in attack against southern vl with buildings changing hands several times... 6 pounder winds up on a soft top.... with the belligerent german attack concentrated to the south, blackstump decides an attack on the german supply line would be a good thing

Meeting their AB at Carpiquet. We had fuel issues since this BG just pulled off of a contested supply map.

Pzt_Verboten vs ANZAC_Blackstump

Verboten report:

I played two battles against Stumpy.

Brettville:

Damn this is a big map. It was hard to know where the attck would come from, while at the same time advancing ourself. I tasked some Ersatz PzGrenadiers to scout out ahead, and see if I couldn't bump into anything. In the end he attacked our East flank with a horde of troops, I killed a lot of them, but some infiltrated our lines. I scrambled men to head them off but ran out of time just as I was to launch the counter attck.



-----

Caen:

A meeting engagement between the 131st and our 125th (same matchup as Maltot). I wanted this battle to go well very much. I dedicated an over sized platoon to cross the northern bridge, backed up on the west by three ATG's. Those guns would prove to be a life saver.

Here is the only screen I have, after the only surviving Cromwell slipped away from this section.




Caen end result. We now have a very good foothold on both sides of the river. If this had not been a meeting engagement then we would have had a very hard time getting across. Mac, Nem and Wruff well done on the choice of sending the 125th in there.

Pzt_GenEraser vs ANZAC_BOLT

GenEraser report:

I played 2 battles against ANZAC_BOLT.

First Lingevres:
I prepared little ambush in the north and moved with full force to secure as much of the town in the east as I could. Unfortunately single mortar round landed on top of my assault element right in the beginning and costed me 1/3 of total casualties in this battle. I was sort of back on schedule with my infantry, but my artillery and MG on the church tower were harassing and killing BOLTs infantry until we were even. We both gained footholds in this SE town, and both lost some troops in ambushes and close range firefights. BOLT tried to break through with single Cromwell and literally started driving behind my lines with LOS to 2 of my tank destroyers. My jaw dropped after my StuG and Marder missed their shots, and in the end I even started to believe he's going to make it past the first hedgeline. Second salvo proved deadly tho and poor Crommie got what he deserved. Here's the end result:




Juvigny:
Like in Lingevres, we both started with harassing (he used mortars, I dropped arty and used MG 42 positioned in the 4 story tower). Unlike the last battle I didn't lose any men. BOLT did. My tanks arrived way before infantry (well, they were supported by single MG 42 team) and encountered some enemy infantry supported by Sherman. Sherman fired on my MK IV, my MK IV returned fire and kaboom, enemy tank goes down. Than there's a furious firefight and I start to gain advantage... he tries to support his infantry with Firefly but my Schreck is waiting. It fires 6 shots, Fly is immobed, dammaged and whatever, but its alive. He tries to shift his remaining Sherman north, but it's immobed on the way (it kills my southern MK IV tho). Later we both drop our airstrikes to no effect, he gathers remaining infantry in the north while I consolidate my positions there and advance all over the rest of the map. His infantry desperately rushes towards Hottot VL, takes a lot of casualties but in the end manages to overrun my Grenadiere squad overwatching VL.


It's Minor Allied Victory in the campaign now.
