Hey guys - I've got another batrep up on the
blog.
C took his Fallshirmjagers again, while I went with a confident trained British rifles. We rolled up Fighting Withdrawal, and C decided to attack, meaning that my 9 platoon strong force would be severely weakened by the end of the game, even without German-inflicted casualties.
As you can see from the first picture, I had my infantry platoons take up positions in the small village, the woods, and in the small villa on the far side.
C pushed aggressively on the left and right, with his Pak 40's sniping my own
AT guns out of cover. I also had to watch both my armor platoons get pounded into scrap metal in order to keep C's pair of Tigers from bursting through my right.
Seriously - worst ambush
ever.
Eventually, however, I managed to get an upper-hand over the Germans, (semi-vindictively) pulling the objectives from the left and right flanks were C had the best chance of getting through.
After a botched assault, I had C's company commander on the run, and I had made enough platoons return to force a company command check. He decided to concede the game, but with 3 off my own platoons forced off or completely destroyed, it was a 4-3 victory (We then, thanks to our buddy Mr. Daniels, found out just how terrible C is at driving in Mario Kart
).
