17th PM AARs vs Ifoko

Chuikov's

Tried to kill some tanks, ptrd killed 2 men and injured a third in Pz IVF but couldn't kill a fourth men. I think pictures show how many inf I slaughtered with DP and maxims Smile

Flight School

He lost many many inf to maxims and DPs, and mortars. But he had a recon car that got past my defenses and spotted the 85mm guarding supply vl. Killed the recon car but then he moved up pZ iii, got lucky, killed 45mm ambushing him, then moved up killed 85mm. I think I had 85mm too close but was only good LOS place I could find to guard supply vl. Lets stay and fight here - our supply is cut for now. Make them take the buildings and if possible we can try to retake our supply vl with grenades!!! we need some fanatics.

Red Barricades West

He attacked in southwest I attacked in northwest and he had nothing there so I almost got his exit vl. My scouts were about to take it with 30s to go but his mortars hit flammable barrels and 2 were killed. He was rushing teams cause he didn't have exit vl well defended and almost it was mine. Oh well. It will make him defend more at least. Now we have him on the defensive here. Keep attacking where u can and ambush where u can't!

Red October North

Our men didn't fight very well vs his infantry - I need to mass them more I think. I killed a pz III with ptrd from 4 story building and dropped air and arty. So I think I only got 1. His infantry fought well and took a lot of ground sorry. I think we must counterattack with massed infantry and keep using support on his panzers hoping for some luck. Best tactic for me has been to start shooting with ptrd at flank/side or close range of panzer, and even if not damaged drop arty right after. Or air, or both. Panzer crews try to respond to ptrd and have a harder time moving and even if they move ptrd can try to immob. PTRD are unreliable, but sometimes they do the trick at close range (50m) flank or rear.

Red October West

Heavy fighting. PTRDs took down their captured T70. Stug was nowhere to be seen. He took our exit vl twice with heavy losses from our mgs and DPs. But we retook it twice and counterattacked at the end. Captured north vl. Swapping bg next turn to give us some breathing room and we can rest the guards. Ferocious but now Germans are out of supply.

Red October Settlements:

Couldn't find 2 of his pak 40s and lost 3 T70s. NO T34s were damaged or lost. Didn't lose the at gun either. We took some vls and have a good defense now. Cut supply 2 two of his maps (RO N and RO W)
