T19 Its hammer time
TF> Not top gear more like a steamroller rolling slowly forward crushing everything in its path.
The village is under our control & the troops are engaging first mainly then tanks roll out & engage the guns, followed by mobelwagons going for the ones at longer range. AC & transport then expose themselves & shoot up enemy troops before my squads move out & send them to oblivion. Then it happens the attack has been so devastating overdrive is engaged & any form of transport is used to propel the force forward.
2 snipers are the only people causing any real problems & for very few casulties we have made huge advances.
Some smoke was used to stop taking fire mainly from snipers but one is visible, we have now moved to near the V in the mountain & some vehicles are vulnerable but all guns bar 1 were engaged. ATGs are gone, the infantry gun is Ok & both mountain guns crews are at half strength. Another 4 bunkers have been found but they are facing the wrong way & a JPz1 has started systematic destruction of the 10 or so now visible. About half a dozen new infantry units have been detected to & expect a few losses in AIs turn but a decisive move.
MF> MkIIIs kill 3 CVs & a pioneer & squad take on the ATG & kill it then the Northern woods is given a good working over. Only 2 men remain here But sure more are coming through it & the FOO there is begining to wonder if staying is sensible. MkIIIs are on the hill & will be engaging the gun TF has not taken on next go, infantry support will be limited as this is the only place putting up any real resistance & another sniper is lurking somewhere.
The tank & AC moved slightly back from the bunker & a squad & 223Fu with a total disregard for safety are trying to support them, they face at least a platoon in close proximity. A couple of other squads are chasing down runners.
BF> 2 squads make it to the high ground & the other forward squad heads for the road. The tanks move on HMG as he had arty dropped on him so is pinned & find the HMG they have been looking for & several bunkers. Transport is now getting some grunts back near the action. A bunker & the remains of a HMG are all thats visible here & a total of 7 flags are still under enemy control
AIT> Another mortar runs out of ammo but resupply truck is closing & its starting to be a unneeded luxury but my arty either got a sniper or helped him hide.
Greek arty got a truck but the offboard batts are firing miles back now.
Desperate brave or stupid feel the later they managed to kill a man & take out 231s gun but lost 20 odd men in the process. Did get a lucky break in MF when an AA gun opened up at halftrack for no damage, I had expected worse.
