Default Re: German Campaign using War Cab

Turn 17 update - best laid plans & all that

There has to be a size zero unit within the vicinity acting as a spotter.
Crossing the mud is proving a real issue tanks are targeting & the fire is pretty accurate lost 3 or 4 men trying, bet arty is inbound.
The good news is that revealed 2 new Churchill's on the hill - dash line.

Panthers & MkIV have had to move East for fear of flank shots, one has LOS to a single Sherman.
Placing arty on the new Churchills they are high enough I think to score a top hit which would ruin my day.
I know we can see them from hex shown but squads will move before Panthers to check LOS for them. Most likely action is smoke them out, deal with ground level tanks first then once arty hits them.
Its rarely as simple as you initially think.

Found a 17 Pounder just not where I expected ATG,s are guarding the other flank to.
Moved MkIV to place smoke as fell dispersed & got a surprise as a shell flew past.
Squad shown is only one with a LOS however we may be lucky the squads have not been fired on yet so it may be unsupported. Big question is where is the other one they are hard to spot till they fire.
