post em here.

Moraya vs Ifoko

We are out of supply so I defended. Couldn't hold the hill with the 2 bunkers but took out 3 infantry teams with 1 before they were killed by stugs and 2cms, 3.7cm flak.

He charged our exit vl a the end but killed off his infantry.

Our vet gun is still alive, amazingly. Might have to hide it on AM turns when they have support. I am not using the T34s anymore (saving in case by some miracle someone clears the map to the east of here so we get supply back - big medal if someone does that.....)

Ovrashnaya vs Ifoko

lost a T70 but killed a PzVIF with long range fire (he moved into open and 2 T34s hiding took it out. Took a vl with infantry after his attacks on the east side were mowed down by DP and platoon leader (3 teams died) supported by long range T34 in the south (hidden from at gun LOS).

Tried to take center building and had T70 in close support but rubble kept a few of his men alive.

Meat Plant vs Kassad

truce

Barracks Hill vs Kassad

Didn't expect heavy attack this turn since usually in the aftenoon germans havne't support. But I was wrong.

However, T34s did pretty well and took out 1 Pz III, 1 Pz IVF, 2 Pz IVG, 1 marder. We lost 4 T34s and a 76mm gun.

The good news: Their bg is wrecked. only 1 Pz IVG left, 1 Pz III. Other than that they just have marders (5)

The other good news: In spite of my losses, we still have 12 T34s left in this bg.

So - next turn we drop arty on their remaining tanks and 88s....Their bg is worthless now at least for attacking. We can take our time but we should finish him off if possible so we can use our T34s against another of his bgs.

Southern Ferry Terminal vs kassad
23 pm

Another tank fight for me with out tanks oh the joy! Wink

I set defense up back to let his infantry scout so my ptrs would be in position to try an get me some tanks. I took 1 smg team two group leader and two assualt groups 3 ptrs. the rest was mg teams. we had a total of two small ATG in this bg i lost one the previous battle and one this battle. He attacke the docks hard i had it lightly guarded. I damaged one panzerF on the docks killing 2/3 destroyed another panzerF up by the rubble, both with ptrs. I damaged one panzer4 with the ATG which in turn destroyed the gun the ptrs hit it several time wounding one more man. only 2/5 men hurt so not enough damage to kill it. the battle looked some thing like this.

vs Ghoa

No T34 losses. Killed 1 PzIVG, 1 Pz III, damaged another Pz III, killed marder. His bg is in pretty bad shape pz wise but still has 2 Pz IVG left.

He took some ground, but 2 of our teams had 15 or more kills and took back almost all ground.
