Re: valos german adventure
After some movement along the roads into greece with i only minor greek harassment attacks and village clearing were we supported a Fallschirmjaeger+stug platoon we arrived at the metsovon plains.
the italians wanted to make a move and it was my job to make sure they wouldnt fail. My troops were mainly used to guard the italians northern flank while they smahed a britih recon group and advanced along the asphaltroad routing some unsupported infantry platoons in the process.
meanwhile the brits tried a cavalrycharge with some cruisertanks and were surprised by one of their 2pounders that is now in my use. Fldwbl Albert got 3 more kill rings on his gun.
the italian airforce provided cas and was able to immobilize a matilda tank that was later taken out by a tellermine from the bulgarian platoon now under my command.
As can be seen on the map the english succeded in getting completly surrounded and in the end after turn 29/40 they surrendered. we had one wounded anthe italians lost 4 men in their little tankettes to inglis aa guns.
there were also some shrapnel wounds from english mortar and 25 pounder fire.
the british losses were much higher with 125 dead 300 wounded and 300 taken prisoners.
