[valo2000]

As we were moving along the contryside we came across a village at a crossroads. As it turned out there were 2 french infantrycompanies in that are roughly 500 men.

One was reserve and one normal infantry.

soon after my men entered the village 2 s-35 arrived that were quickly taken out by my pioneers.

My light inf took positions at the crossroads that were shielded from view by the wrecks of the french tanks and artificial fire laid by the pioneers.

on the northern flank my tanks pushed forward accompanied by the scouts.

to the south i only sent my sniper to watch the situation there.

My heavy weapons platoon was positioned 400 m back and fired mortar rounds onto the attacking french.

the MGs were also positioned near the village and fired continously on the many waves of french inf.

then decided to sit tight and use ambushtactics. after a few turns the french attacked the crossroads where the fields of fire were relatively open. I had my troops on rough terrian and woods but the french outnumbered me heavily and pinned my observers.

Then i relaized i needed my tanks that were on a mortar hunt in the enemies rear and i let them appear behind the attacking french but it was to little. withe their 1 mg per vehicle they could only harras the 2 companies attacking and
so my observer got shoot in the foot and his helper got his ear blown away. As they were dragged back by the pionneers that had suffered 5 causalities themselves more frnechmen arrived and i had to retzreat a little.

2nd platoon took 3 dead and 12 wounded hear while first platoon(mounted) spent a happy time at the crossroads decimating any french squad that appeared.

after i had retreated my men to better positions which had the enemy appear at short ranges and under fire from all units of the platoon as well as the a0 unit the attacks died down as the allies were running a out of men.

We couldnt take prisoners here and had tio let the retreatig enemy escape because all mgs were out of ammo and the rifles had only a few rounds left.This was a real intense battle for second platoon at least.
