DAR: USSR vs Finland

[RERomine]

Turn 10

Alpha Company is almost in position. Movement is slow in the snow. Bravo and Charlie Companies still have a way to go.

Delta Company mounting back up and preparing to advance. Surviving enemy tank disappeared into Charlie Company's objective area.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 11

First platoon of Alpha Company in position and another is setting up. Third platoon has a few turns to go yet.

MG section with Bravo Company is going to set up to fire down the railroad tracks. It is a nice long line of fire and they can keep the enemy from slipping between company boundaries.

Fanning Charlie Company out some since I know there is an enemy tank to their front.

Delta Company mostly mounted up and moving forward.

Adjusted fire on counter battery. It was off target.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 12

Alpha, Bravo and Charlie continuing to move forward or into position.

Delta Company all moved out. Timing was good. Enemy artillery and mortars hit where they executed the ambush from. No one there now, so they just created some tooth picks. Enemy tank sighted again, still moving north on the road.

Counter battery hit one mortar site hard. Going to adjust to the other site since it is close.

So far, the enemy has turned no flags, even the ones close to their deployment zone. Aside from their tanks and mortars, I have no idea where their remaining force is located.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 13

Alpha, Bravo and Charlie continuing to move forward or into position.

Delta Company all moved out. Enemy artillery and mortars fell again. I should have paid more attention, because I don't know if rounds came in from one mortar or two. Oh well.

Enemy tank turned one flag. I'm moving up tanks to support the infantry in the area. My infantry can't handle the tank by themselves.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 14

Alpha Company almost completely in position. Bravo and Charlie have a way to go.

Delta Company starting to set up. It will take a few turns.

Enemy tank out of sight again.

Counter battery fell, accidentally destroyed the first mortar targeted. I need to adjust fire on the other mortar.

A flag finally turned somewhere else. I'm going to try to get my spotter plane out there to check the area. I turned a couple of flags myself.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: 1x81mm Mortar destroyed.

[RERomine]

Turn 15

Suspect enemy infantry approaching Alpha Company or the Engineer Group. Released a light tank and medium tank from the area, but keeping two of each for support if an attack does come.

Charlie still moving forward. This is taking a long time. Not sure I'll get all the flags this battle.

Delta Company still setting up.

Adjusted counter battery fire. My mortars have been in one place too long. I think I'll cancel the fire and move. Even with trucks, it takes time to move anywhere other than on a road.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 16

Spotter plane confirmed enemy infantry heading towards Alpha and Engineers. Both are in position and waiting, so they are as ready as they can be. The enemy are using ski troops, so they do have a speed edge.

Enemy tank turned east and is coming up on northern platoon of Charlie. Moving entire company in that direction, plus four medium tanks and two ACs from Delta.

Packed up mortars and going to move.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 17

I'm trying to confirm the strength of the enemy infantry up north. Four squads have been spotted in different locations, so I might be dealing with elements of two companies. If this is correct, that will be pretty much all the infantry they have available.

Enemy tank picked another flag. I'm trying to seal it off from my rear area, because I have nothing back there at all. Infantry and tanks moving into position. There is another flag within 300m of the flag just turned, so the tank should go there next.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 18

Spotted one enemy platoon advancing on Engineers, but some distance away. The other enemy platoon spotted earlier might be heading to Alpha or Bravo. They are too far away to tell right now.

Peppered the enemy tank with MG and small arms. Followed up with two failed assaults. Lost three men in the process. Positioned my ACs to get shots if the enemy tank keeps moving towards the other flag.

I called it right on the enemy counter battery. Rounds started to fall near my old mortar position. Good thing I moved with I did.

Casualties

Friendly: Three casualties.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 19

Bravo moving into position. One problem is that it seems I gave them too large a sector to cover. Since Charlie has Delta supporting on the flank and the fact that maybe the enemy is heading towards Bravo, I'm going to use one platoon from Charlie to fill the sector. I'm going to move my medium tanks up to support Bravo also.

Zapped the enemy tank. Peppered it again with small arms fire, assaulted it once and finished it off with an armored car.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: 1xVickers 6s tank destroyed.
