Back on track
Want to knock this out so pushing on, its turn 26 am nearly halfway, morale will go soon. Entering part of map FOO who remained on far bank is covering
The hill> all defenders out of foxholes on 3 as trucks roled in, scouting of hill 1 found another guy also ejected from his hole. Scout had to jump on bike & come back crew bailed out of Char & I was not letting him get back in.
Troops moving toward hill 2 in force & some splitting off to find LOS around 3 Chars so tank killers know where to take up positions.
Went for a fast attack on remaining tanks as want to reposition.
2 MkIIIs attacked runner followed by pioneer mech assault rest moved on other 2 tanks with 3 infantry & a pioneer. Slightly worried there might be more tanks in tree clumps, there were. Killed 3 2 with MkIIIs another to Pioneer, losses 1 tank damaged 1 immobile 3 troops lost. At least 1 tank is still there maybe 2 But I will not have to worry about reloading PSW Eng before moving to next target so can maintain momentum better.
These planes have been crap vs armour, can't even see them but they are good vs dug in troops, 3 made there pass scoring 1 hit on a squad & eliminating another HMG.
Other 3 then made pass on AAgun first plane destroyed & rest shot at nothing. Not quite sure how they all survived as a shed load of AAA filled the skies. Despite this they found 4 squads & located the position of another AA gun.
Took a decent number of planes in hope of track hits Doh. Also my air direction is not the Mae West so practice.
