DAR: USSR vs Germany 2

[RERomine]

Turn 9

Enemy took the bait on the special mission, finally. Three rounds of 75mm fell on the dust trail of my two Komsomolets. Unfortunately, three rounds doesn't create enough smoke to be spotted.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

Turn 10

More artillery coming in, but not enough to put up a cloud of smoke. The idea was fine, but the tube the Germans are using is just too small.

Positional update for my infantry companies:

Alpha - 1000m ESE of A1
Bravo - 400m E of B1
Charlie - 250m E of C1

No enemy units have been spotted.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

Turn 11

Enemy artillery still chasing the decoys, but nothing spotted.

No enemy units have been spotted.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

Turn 12

One enemy artillery piece spotted, visually!! I've been looking for them tucked along the back edge of the map. This one is in the rough on the level 20 eastern edge of the large hill.

Lead squad of Bravo fired upon by a hidden machine gun. It popped smoke to cover its position. The fire seemed to come from someplace on the large hill.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

Turn 13

Found three enemy squads in various places the hard way.

Charlie was starting to move into C1, one opened up from the far side. Smoke popped and the firing stopped. Enemy was engaged later by one HGM team from support.

One Bravo scout stumble on to two enemy squads, taking two casualties in the progress. A whole bunch of support machine guns opened up on one cutting its size in half.

Mortars plotted on the enemy howitzer. My FO has eyes on the target.

Casualties

Friendly: Two casualties.

Enemy: Six casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 14

Charlie engaging two enemy squads around C1. Support machine guns can't see them so Charlie is on their own. One enemy squad running, but the other one his holding. Unless it has company, it should be overrun next turn.

Bravo continuing to move forward, leaving the dirty work of dealing with two enemy squads just northwest of B1 to support guns. They've done well. Both are running.


Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 10 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 15

C1 is crawling with Germans. At least one platoon in there. Calling in light mortar fire to suppress them before pushing further in.

Bravo catching some fire from MG-34 and small arms from the northwest. Spotted another squad and sent it running, but that MG is still hidden.

Alpha pressing ahead faster. Since Bravo and Charlie are running into quite a bit of contact, Alpha's sector might be clear. Scouts out front haven't spotted anything.

Mortars hit the enemy howitzer. Will adjust and hit again.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 5 casualties.
