valos german adventure
So here starts my minimalistic campaign. the first battle was an assault against poland. my core consisted of the HQ and an aty VB.
I was given temporary command of a gorup of infantry with mmg scout and sniper support.
their mission was mainly to find targets for the 6 mortars and the 4 Guns.
The Luftwaffe gave me some Schlachtfliger and Stukasupport.
The first airattacks were fruitless and only triggered aafire by some mgs that forced one Schlachtflieger to return to base.
The infantry infiltrated through the weakly held line routing one polish squad in the process and my aty started to pound the aamgs with little substantial effect.
The scouts moved forward to the map edge while the infantryzug fought it out with some poles.
in this battle the Hq squad singlehandedly routed 2 enemy infantrysquads with only "little" help from the Aty that was directed precisely by Observer Moehlmann and his helper.
The polish resistance was weak and after some fighting in a woody area the battle enden with 198 polish causalities vs 9 germans wounded and 2 killed.
The Luftwaffe proved that it is pretty worthless in Assaults
After this Draw iam ordered to take command of a Group of Sicherungstruppen to hold this sector. It consists of two platoons of second line Inf, 4 MGs, 3 8cm mortars with ammo wagons a marksman and a reserve of 2 mark2 tks. The Luftwaffe has send 2 me 110 into this sector to strafe the attacking polish inf hordes and a storch.
My core has been enhanced by a sniper that maybe later trained for longrange recon drops if he shows some talent.
The terrain consits of a large wood area in the south and a crossroad in a village in the north. this village is the place to hold.
note: why are paratroop snipers not freely purchaseable?
