Turn 13

Some 3 turns later, my AT Rifle section has been badly mauled but together they also destroyed 3x T-60s. It's a good trade in a sense, 1 AT Rifle team is worth 9-10 pts, while a T-60 is probably worth 25-30 pts.

The PzJgrs are finally arriving at the scene.

The infantry steel themselves to close assault with the EN tanks.

You can also spot my Pz IIIs at the top-right corner. They are pulling back from their block along the road.



Turn 15

The initial EN armoured thrust in 3rd Coy sector is fast dissipating. The EN T-34s have come closest but they are also routing from the action.

Turn 13

The 2nd wave in 3rd Coy sector. The EN cavalry is lagging further and further away from their armour. The EN armour, I think these are T-26, are coming along unsupported.



Turn 17

I've positioned my PzJgr and Pz IIIs better to take the EN in the flank whenever possible. This should be quite fast.

Shortly after this fight, I send 1 of my Pz IIIs back to the Arty Park to replenish its ammo.

Turn 13

2nd Coy sector

The main reason why I started withdrawing my Pz IIIs was that the EN was flowing north of the road and heading towards 1st Coy sector, and that the Pz IIIs were also beginning to run low on Sabot rounds.



Turn 13

1st Coy sector

To cope with the imminent action, I began pulling some units that were providing security along the road back. J0 platoon flowed back along the road, looking for the cover of trees, followed by the K0 AT Rifle section.

The EN are bringing along T-28s to this sector. Due to their low speed and use of covered terrain for their approach, they are very slow at coming to contact.



Turn 17

By turn 17, we can spot alot more EN infantry spilling out from the cover of forest directly into 1st Coy's sector.

The EN armour fist is still moving forward, but again also, unsupported by accompanying infantry.

K0 AT Rifle section (in blue stars) are moving back to take up new positions.

Turn 20

This shows the position taken by J0 platoon and K0 AT Rifle section.

I've also repositioned the PzJgr and Pz IIIs to overlook the open area, if the EN tanks choose not to go through the forest.



Turn 23

We can see the EN armour being attrited down. Top left, we destroyed 2-3 tanks. Near the centre, the PzJgr and Pz III destroy another 3 tanks.

I count 5 EN tanks remaining.

The EN infantry is also being attrited by both mortar strikes and long range MG fires.



Turn 26

My planned arty strikes are all landing into the centre mass of the EN infantry.

[sigeena]

Battle was won at Turn 33, after mopping up the EN infantry and picking up the objective flags.



Here's a look at the Pz IIIs and PzJgrs

The PzJgrs are very good for hiding and engaging from the flank. Their size 2 makes them harder to spot, and even harder for the EN to engage.
