Thanks Stalky. Ok to copy paste the lot.

Thx in regard to the AAR. My opponent haven't any real interest in contributing to it, like your guys are doing, making your AAR really interesting.

The fight continues.
We are fighting over the top left VL. Dima is out of supply so his dreaded Panthers are immobile bunkers.. The end result was sort of ok for UK, though Germans controls a narrow strip up there. If Germans placing the troops in that narrow strip in next round, will make em vulnerable.

Fighting in City’s vs Dima.. This is painfull. I often fall short of even reaching my most limited objectives. I let the images explain.

Lingevres, the last time Germans have 100% fuel. The next time they are a bit less mobile. I sort of expected a German last offensive, probably trying to kick my infantry BG of. I selected much AT, and deployed so rearranging the defence would run smooth. Dima assaulted, and tried to kick me of. Germans lost 1 IV, one 251 HT, and a AC(23x). I lost a 6 pdr, and a TD.

Thanks Stalky.

Seems like Dima could perhaps kick you out of Lingevres next turn, or perhaps even move his now cut off BG to Tilly Sur Seulles. If he decide for the ladder, and he still keep a BG in Brettevillle, will most of your spear of BGs be cut off?

Like this?

[AT_Stalky]

He tried to kick me of 2 times already at Lingevres, and both times he had fuel, now he has not.

Moving to Tilly is an option, the problem is that he’s even more cut of from fuel there (see image), and panzer BGs without fuel are rather ineffective. They can be efficient at defence at large open maps even without fuel, but there attack ability is just lost.  
Staying at the present map, he owns more or less the whole map, and even without fuel he can be effective defending the map, and just lose a bit at the time.

-->A) Moving to tilly he’s in that little box, with tanks standing still, and must reach the south left VL and hold it.. Against a quality UK BG that I have at Tilly, that also has a town to hug onto. B) And at the same time he must first get another BG to Cristot (he will, in 2 rounds), C) and then kick my BG of at Cristot (how long does that take?)…

As he move to Tilly he also open up fuel to Hottot and my BG there, making it more effective.
Summery: He may cut of 2 of my “ok” BGs with that move, but at the same time allow fuel to another of my cut of BGs 2-1=1. But at the same time calculate how much of 130 Lehrs value is lost when cutting that of even further, and enter a map in such a small aria, compare to 130 situation at Lingevres map.

My bet though, is that he gives it 1-2 rounds to kick me of at Hottot, my 131/7 BG is not that powerfull, and he has a HQ BG there ready to do that job, success brings back fuel to his 130 Lehr...
He may try to do it at Juvigny, but my poss there is much better, and against my  higher quality BG 69/50 thats a harder but though doeble job. If success he may consider moving the 130 to tilly and he "only" has to reach the right side VL to have fuel.

Well see..

[CC_CO]

True words, he probably wont do that. I just thought that if his BG is already has been cut off, why not try to cut some of your BGs off too, while he still has the VL to do that?

On the other hand, trying to push you off Lingevres, if he can do it, opens up several options, and I guess, somehow force you to attack Lingevres again.

I wasn't aware that Tilly Sur Seulles, still would be useful as a supply map for your forces, should he move onto it next turn; that he has to capture the VL down in the left bottom of Tilly, in order to practically cut off, some of your BGs in the spear.

The more I think of it, the more i think your right, he probably wont try option-Tilly. Cutting off your spear, he will have to do so from Bretteville. However, his force there is also cut off, so your spear actually seems quite secure.

--
I think your bet sounds possible. If he can take Hottot then, yes, the situation is different. What is the tactical view of Hottot? How much ground do you have there now?

Thanks Stalky.

I agree Hottot could be a tough one, just to stay alive there. On the other hand, both flanks of the Hottot entry area are fine for defending. Juvigny looks like a race for both sides, or a potential German attempt, to try and push off the entire UK entry area, from round-start, before you can cross the river.  

Then again, you clearly are a really strong player, so even though it in theory, could be possible for Dima, to literally blast his way through your entire left flank on Juvigny, while simultaneously having sight on the river-line, to stop / halt you crossing it, you still have player skills that should not be underestimated.

Whoa, this is still going!

What a pleasant surprise! Keep it up! I want to see this GC through to the end. *thumbs up*

So the speculations over what Dima would do against my road block at Hottot is over..
He chose to kick me of here. The fuel is again flowing to his 130/Lehr BG..    This was painfull..  
I try have spome more AAR out in a few..

If you look at the little end game battle result map a bow to the right (airfield map).

Things changed rather dramatically last battle on the airfield map.

Any one have any guesses what the 1) UK plans are for next battle and 2) what are the Ge plans for next battle?

I will spread out the post in this thread to make the pages less heavy to load as the images is a bit to large.. The post will just have some "..." in em..
