Try to save a spot in the AAR section so we can keep our sequence in order it only takes a second to write (AAR to come) then come back and edit in the rest at a later time.

Thanks team

Bois du bavuent vs bjorn

Since they moved a new PZ BG here i were on defensive i picked 2 piats 2 6dr and 2 tanks. i placed a piat a 6pdr and sherm in north so that he wouldnt be able to take the buildning complex up there. In the opening minute i spotted a Mortar HT i decided to engage it whir my 6pdr giving it away but maked bjorn unable to kill my guns and harass my inf whit it later. he started to give indirect fire to the complex which in turn gave away some of his 7.5cm HT. he sneaked some infantry up but they were dealt whit rrather quick by my smg squad i had there. he rolled up his ht which i sent a blaze whit my 6 pdr then he moved up another ht also killed my 6pdr, then a pz 3 same fate an mark IV alhttp://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8458/uo0004u.jpgso killed and finally a pz 3 Command tank also killed in total he lost 3 tanks 2 pz 3's and 1 mark iv 2 HT. i lost the sherman when it duelled whit the mark 4 and 1 ht.

Finally i have gotten my revenge aginst the Evil allied leader bjorny

Buron VS Kassad
8th AM

I face the out of supply TIGER BG I brought 3 ATG and 4 tanks plus one recon car (humber) it was bait. I brought the humber for bait and it worked well I flushed a pak40 out and popped it with my 6pounder. So my goal was to clear to the East I took the Hillman batteries VL and headed South and secured the Perriers VL.

Lebisey woods VS kassad
8th AM

I brought some firepower here fellas as far as i can remember at least half my squads were tanks. I secured all Exit vls and left them one vl to hold on to here, they are out of supply and ammo. I lost 3 tanks but killed two and took out two 8.8's. I had one little stuart who fought very well for us it was damaged but not enough to loose it.

Bretteville vs Kassad
8th am

I beleive Kassad had enough of my attacking him so he came after me. Theres a small building with a VL that is split we fought over it he put quite a few squads right on the front with a pak40 and a flame HT. I got the flameHT but not the pak40 I lost a recon car and 6 pounder that was in the hedge we were fighting over. I then just crawled around the field grabbing land. Both armor were Humbers I dont know why they call them armor there more like vehicles.

Abbaye vs Panzermayer
8th am

I have never played panzermayer so I do not have any intel on him. So with that being said I played very cautiously! A good thing as well he brought six markIV's and I did not want to get disbanded and loose this map. I sat as he moved closer and closer with his tanks. I saved artillery but used the air the air did nothing for us.

HERE'S THE TANKS!

DOUBLE G's BOYS HAD A DIRECT SHOT AND MISSED!

RESULTS of the battle I lost a sherman crab.

lingevres vs bjorn
8th AM

I attack along the east side of the map, dont run into much resistance until i reach the road and forest area. I had two men in the field no more than 35 meters from an ATG and could not spot it. I dropped artillery and that was all for that gun. Although it took out a AA Recon car. He snuck up the hedges on west side and tracked another recon car but it was still able to put down cover fire for me. I then moved achilles south to try to advance my attack I then spotted another 8.8 Air took care of it but he was rushing all kinds of men to the forest area to stop my attack and a fuast took out the achilles. We now however have both flanks to get at him from. They should not be on the map more than 1 or 2 turns if all goes right. I have to say achilles SUCK no MG only cannon. Oh well our tanks have no MG and every unit they have has MG42 and faust I thought this was TOTAL REALISM!!! Rolling Eyes

AAR

Against Bjorn

Sad story short.
Excpectd a attack to the west, not east.
Bjorn attacked with a Cmd HT supported by grenadiers and a Flame HT.
He swept through the lines and made a dash for our supply VL.
Managed to stop him with a Mortar team and fires from the side.

Also managed to damage a Jgdpz IV as well.
Main gun destroyed an 2 crew dead, although it didn't show up in results.
Bjorn and I belive it has been removed from combat and the force pool.
Count it as destroyed.

A real fk up here as well. Lost a lot of troops due to MG fire. Managed to take very little ground, he got most of the ground covered by MGs.
Sadly, Wee's elite veteran 6pdr ATG got anhaliated by 4 mortar tubes.
Sorry mate Sad

Bjorn did a counter attack to the south and contested the south VL.
Sherman damaged by a Schreck or a ATG.

Did a last minut charge at Bjorn's supply VL, and almost got there.
Time ran out because the paras were delayed by Grenadiers.

This Battle was against Panzermayer

Not much happened here.
After a heavy bombardment of a Bofors 40mm AAG, 2 6pdr ATG and mortars, Canadian infantery stormed the train station.

During the assault a lot of casualties were taken due to hv mortar fire and MG fire.
But we managed to secure the station VL.
Sadly, most of the germans fled the station, out of reach for our guns.

Rest of the time was spent shelling mortar rounds at each other.
A 6pdr was lost during the shelling.

Sneaked a lot in to the middle of Pzmayer's deploy are.'
Didn't manage to attack the church, to much MG and mortar fire.
A AVRE tried to support the attack but was destroyed by a Pak 43/41.
The gun was destroyed with a concentratated mortar barrage.
A Flak 36 88mm was spotted and I tried to shell it, but only 2 crew died.

Moved up infantery and a DD Sherman to secure the North-West road VL.
Managed to take it and destroy a french HT with a Pak 40.
Also managed to destroy a Marder I as well.
In the end I tried to take out the Flak 36 with a Sherman Crab, but failed. ( Tank undamaged)
Lost the DD Sherman in the north due to a PZFaust attack.
