DAR: USSR vs Poland

[RERomine]

Turn 21

Looks like some of the enemy infantry to the west of Hill 1 are getting a second wind and moving forward again. Range is somewhat distant at the moment, but they are clearly coming back.

Engaged and destroyed two museum exhibits. Fired at some running enenmy infantry, but that was about it along the South Road.

Moving one platoon south to capture enemy flag, since Force 4 seems otherwise occupied.

Sent the enemy platoon running with fire from my tanks and Kosmolets. Again, this is infantry that got a second wind. They aren't fresh troops.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: 1xFT-18 and 1xFT-17 tanks destroyed, estimated 10 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 22

Opened up with HMGs at long range to discourage enemy infantry from advancing on Hill 1 again. This seems to have been effective.

Destroyed another FT-17 tank. Given that I've only destroyed two, my guess is there is a third somewhere. Mortar rounds pounded a section of the North Woods to the west. Time to move my infantry forward now to see if anyone is around. Shot up a couple of running enemy squads.

Force 2 platoon should be able to take enemy flag in a turn or two. The other two platoons are setting up overwatch on the third. My AC will move out and capture it.

The enemy southwest of the West Woods weren't running as much as I thought, but the are now. Hit them again with tanks and Kosmolets. My scouts are quietly sitting and watching, which is what they should be doing.

Counter battery fire plotted against enemy mortar.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: 1xFT-17 tank destroyed, estimated 10 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 23

Continued peppering enemy infantry from Hill 1. They are retreating again.

Pushing forward again. There are a few pinned enemy squads around, but most are routed. I'm swinging some tanks around to try to destroy these units. They are all clustered around two enemy controlled flags about 500m east of the bend in the South Road. I need to be careful since I'm near the enemy deployment zone. There may be some ATGs around.

Captured a flag with Force 2 platoon. Only one left in this area to get.

Pushing enemy infantry hard on hill southwest West Woods. They can't attack if they are running.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 20 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 24

Cease fire on Hill 1.

Captured both enemy controlled flags. Enemy infantry on South Road has been routed and is in full retreat. Pursuing with infantry and tanks.

Three enemy squads showed up just after I captured the flag along the southwest edge of the West Woods. Engaged with infantry and one tank. They aren't running yet, but I'll hit them harder next turn. Took another flag with an armored car. Pulling it back now into a covering position.

Force 4 pushing enemy infantry. Most are routed except the ones just to their north near the captured flag.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 15 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 25

All quiet on Hill 1

One unit along South Road stood for a bit and let me fire at it. The rest are running.

Enemy resistence in southwest corner of West Woods has stiffened a bit. They managed to knock out a machine gun on one of my tanks. I'm going to back my tanks off a bit. No need to lose one now chasing infantry I'm not likely to destroy. One enemy squad just showed up around the flag captured by the armored car. They drew fire from my overwatching infantry and took casualties.

My tanks are supporting Force 2 near the West Woods, leaving the Kosmolets to hold the small hill. No worries as the enemy isn't mounting an attack at the moment.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 10 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 26

All quiet on Hill 1

North Woods secure. Advancing down South Road picking up prisoners. Found the Polish HQ the hard way. It cost me two men, but it got hammered pretty good and is now running. Captured another couple of flags. Only one to go.

Pulling back around West Woods and consolidating my position. If the enemy wants to leave, I'll let them go here.

Kosmolets holding small hill and firing on any enemy in range.

Counter battery fire off target and needs adjusted.

Casualties

Friendly: Two casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 25 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 27

All quiet on Hill 1

Advancing down South Road with tanks and one platoon of infantry. The remaining two platoons are setting up defensive positions around recently captured flags. Only one flag is left, but it is near where the enemy 75mm guns were located. Those guns have been quiet for a while. One has been destroyed, but I don't know what the status is of the remaining three.

Holding in and around West Woods.

Pulled tanks back to north edge of small hill. Holding with Kosmolets.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 10 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 28

All quiet on Hill 1

One enemy squad advancing south west of North Woods. They took fire from HMGs and infantry setting up positions to cover flags. Incoming mortar fire caused one casualty. That won't happen again. Counter battery fire destroyed the mortar. Turns out there are two flags I still need to get and not one. It is close to the South Road and won't be a problem.

Holding in and around West Woods.

Holding on small hill.

Casualties

Friendly: One casualties.

Enemy: 1x81mm Mortar destroyed, estimated 10 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 29

Fired on enemy squad to the west, inflicting a few casualties.

Consolidating positions around flags. Pealed off two light tanks to take flag I just noticed. Sent another one down the road to check out the enemy 75mm howitzers and got shot at by an enemy 7TP tank. Pulled back real quick and started deploying medium tanks to engage. I'll let my infantry push forward to the howitzers.

Holding in and around West Woods.

Holding on small hill.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 5 casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 30

All quiet on Hill 1

Two light tanks captured flag and drew the attention of some enemy ATGs. One has a hole in it now, but still active. I need to extract both of them from that situation while trying to keep them alive. Enemy 7TP heading east across a small hill. Not sure if it is the same one or not. Tanks rarely appear one at a time. One of my light tanks peppered it with MG fire, but the enemy ignored my tanks.

Holding in and around West Woods.

Holding on small hill.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: Zero casualties.
