Default Re: German Campaign using War Cab

Turn 5

What a nightmare the area North of the road is pretty self contained so we threw caution to the wind & put the pedal to the metal.
At hex row 55 already here, fair way back elsewhere but with visibility 40 we can see every hilltop.
No other vehicles in sight not a one, what we can see is odd splattering's of infantry that have reached row 60 across most of the map.

Screen shows LOS to lone infantry in the far North & a couple of the vehicles which probably collected the VHexes.

Did not expect to be here yet the idea was to ambush armour letting the infantry clear the buildings. Engage them grab the Vhexes & using the woods as cover from ATGs put MG fire on the back of the hill, doing a reverse slope defence on the other side.

Against a lot of infantry this is not the ideal spot to attack we would have been better coming from the South as its open. Let vehicles & MGs poor fire in relative safety with infantry finding targets.

So options not driving all the way round
Probably take out the group North of the buildings.
Let the group advance along the road if they want to & deal with them next.
Bound to be more in the far North they can waste time heading through the woods if they desire, nice open area after let them get on the fields before taking out. Trying to take on everyone at once is probably not wise.

Normally in meetings I like to push forward but verses massed infantry need to use mobility to try & pick sensible fights. Already gained stacks of ground I will fall back if we have to.
My MG are twiddling there thumbs at the moment need places I can use them, not here way to close.

Wish I had paid attention to see if they got an arty overload penalty otherwise I am facing a lot of infantry.

We need a plan & a turn to get in position before it kicks off.
