Turn 8 start
Delay is due to pushing in that area being a no go, we would clash head on with over 2 companies of infantry.
Screenshot is from end of turn 6 some are still visible, pulling out to try a breakthrough to the SE.
Note spotter plane plot if it goes from the gold spot it takes fire but okay 2 hexes back. Its currently plotted to do a run in the South as we have eyes here now.
This screen is start of turn 8 smoke has fallen & we have put some shots into them.
Up till now all casualties have been Polish - Patrol - Piat Team - Sniper - 2 Rolls Royce A/C & around 20 men.
Then the arty came in around 7 batteries did not count, 2 are those $#@% 5in man they hurt.
It killed 7 men a halftrack & immobilised a MkIV in a problematic place .
Anyway smoke came in OK tanks can fill in South edge, as it looks like there is no armour support we are going to risk a rush.
Bound to be a few unspotted Piat teams in there but halftracks are loaded Mech Assault has a green light if we can put some suppression in.
A good portion of my force has moved here we aim to come down the map behind them killing as fast as possible to try & avoid that artillery.
Centre has been largely cleared if possible we will close the pincer from the South once the spotter plane gives some info.
Then its hit artillery & back to deal with that infantry in the North.
We may be able to thin them if they head SW near the road which is likely, some will probably hang around the VHexes.
All tanks set to range 8 so only engage locals & have dischargers on just in case a Piat sneaks up.
