After the invasion of moldavia has started and the first defensive lines have been broken KG Hauser is sent in for reconaissance in force meaning they should advance as far as possible. The weather is great and air support is present. As always we advance in broad line looking for the way with the weakest resistance. The romanians will take the village in the south the bulgarians slovaks and 1st kompanie will advance along the center and take blocking positions in case of a counterattack.

Meanwhile the Gebirgsjaeger with the help of the tanks platoon are moving along the northern flank trying to sneak around the flank.

Situation after turn 17:

In the south the fallschirmjaeger have taken the small village while the roamians are advancing over the field.

In the center the crossroad with the little settlement has been taken and the slovaks move on to the big city in the east where most of the enemy artillery has been detected and is under sonstant attack of atrillery and luftwaffe units. so far they have managed to silence most of the russian guns.

In the north the gebirgsjaeger keep advancing over the field with the tanks following. A few squads of enemy infantry have been detected.

Now suddenly the russians are moving forward to counterattack and since KG Hausers units are advancing some chaotic fighting is expected. Since their artiller is more or less silenced i dont expect them to be able to do much in the end in a few turns they will be running back.

Back to work back to play hehe

The advance was problrmfree in the centre and north and KG Hauser could take city and its artillery positions where many guns were captured.

In the south the russians managed a breakthrough through the recently captured village by pushing aside the falschirmjaegers who had to flee leaving some of theri comrades behind since the supporting stugs had not enough ammunition do take out all the attacking russians. one stug was also lost in the defence of this village.

luckily the one matilda from the recon group (haha) could take out some of the t-26 but here were still 10 russian tanks attacking when the scenario ended.

my explanation here is after loosing contact to their commanding offcers the confused russian tankers decided to turn back to their rear instaed of continuing theri advance even though they had already reched the rear of the german positions which were hastily retreating there artillery and trying to form some kind of defense. luckily for them the russians retreated on theri own.

the woods still hold a strong presence of russian infantry which might lead to some partisam problems later on.

All in all the operation was succesful and the advance can be continued. Care has to be taken to avoid future disatrous counterattacks by russian tank brigades

turn 18: the 1st kompanie hastaken the church in the south of the city with the help of tanks and armored cars.
Just in time to intercept a company of anzac infantry that promptly gets taken prisoner.

in the north a armored group counterattacks but after a few minuits all that is left of the attack is a single matilda 2 tank.
the bulgarians and the fallschirmjager have reached the outskirts of the city and start to engage the uk infantry defending from the buildings situated along the coastline. They will fix them in place while the 1st kompanie and tanks roll up their souther flanks everything is going to plan.

The luftwaffe is down to 2 planes with 2 shot down and 2 damaged. They are sent to attack suspected mortar positins but the 20mm guns on a hill north of the harbour make it difficult to find the target.

after 27 turns the battle is over. The S-35 was lost but fortunatly the one matilda 2 counterattacking could be immobilised and its crew surrendered leaving us with another working Matilda tank. Also the Falsschirmjaeger lost their scouts but they were replaced by some local volunteers.

Now with crete pacified. KG Hauser is transfered to to Romania where it is refited and the 37mm AT-Guns are turned in for STUGs.

Also a company of Romanian infantry is added to the command. They will help pathfinding while the battalion will guard the border with moldavia.

Operation Barbarossa has begun!
Our forces have already broken through the Russian lines, now it is your job to exploit through and destroy reinforcing Soviet forces. The enemy consists of infantry divisions supported by some tank brigades. So far the Soviets have not put up strong resistance.

Let's rather do one project at a time. BTW it wasn't clear from the text, are you done with this mission?

valo2000 · #10 January 28th, 2014, 11:55 AM

Almost, 5 turns left i should finish it this evening. I guess i will reach all VH at least almost if there are anymore surprises.

Ok we stick to this story for now. You know i have already plans to continue it in SPMBT if you are interested but thats waaaaaay in the future (Remants of the unit will continue as mercenaries in hot spots all over the world)
