DAR: USSR vs Poland

[RERomine]

Turn 16

I jinx the guys on Hill 1 every time I say it is quiet. Two more enemy squads showed up, but hit by HMGs and infantry. One has stalled and the other is running.

The western edge of the North Woods is crawling with Polish forces. Infantry in about company strength and those tanks I keep talking about. All platoons catching fire. Moved tanks up in the woods to engage. Both sides took casualties here.

A little resistence near the West Woods, but it broke quickly. Still moving my forces forward

Turned flag with my Kosmolets and moved my tanks up some. One active enemy squad showed up, but no damage.

Resupplying mortars right now. Going to plot them on the hornets nest in the North Woods.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 10 casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 10 casualties.

Turn 17

Sent enemy in field nortwest of Hill 1 running. One platoon moving forward in northern edge of North Woods.

Major fire fight going on with enemy in western edge of North Woods and along the road. They are on the attack, but I bloodied their nose. Light tanks moved up from Hill 2 and engaged with medium tanks and infantry. My 50mm mortar fire starting coming in and yep, they got me Dang things fell about 200m short. At least no casualties from that. Tanks took a few shots at an FT-18 spotted. No hits.

Continuing to push into West Woods. No resistence encountered.

Sent enemy squad running down south. No other enemy units in sight.

Plotted 82mm mortars on the enemy in the West Woods, but a little further away than with 50mm mortar plot.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 25 casualties.

Turn 18

Watching enemy forces run from Hill 1, but nothing more.

Forming up to advance on enemy position in North Woods after mortar fire comes in. Adjusted fire on the 50mm. Engaged one exposed enemy squad just south of the road and sent it running. One FT-18 popped out and I took a few shots at it with no luck. Did destroy an AT rifle team that also came out of the woods.

Pushing Force 2 through the West Woods. Left HMGs on Hill 2 to cover flank.

Moving tanks and scouts forward west of South Woods. My plan is to take another flag as long as no enemy infantry shows up. If they do, I'll leave the chore to Force 2.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 10 casualties.

Turn 19

Peppered part of the North Woods with area fire from one HMG. No response, so maybe that AT rifle team has moved on and maybe it is the one destroyed last turn. Enemy mortar fire fell about 250m west of Hill 1. They were way off target.

Still waiting for mortars to hit the West Woods, but slowly tighting up on the enemy. One squad found the other two FT-18 tanks, so all three are visible now. 50mm mortar fire came in and even after adjusting fire, it hit some of my units. It has a realitively short range and I was firing at almost the maximum. At max range, mortar rounds scatter pretty good. A couple of enemy squads tried to push forward, but we stopped. One FT-18 has a new window, but it still in action.

So far, the West Woods are clear. Continuing to push through.

Still moving towards enemy flag with Force 4. No contact. Men at ambush site decided to take a nap.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: Estimated 5 casualties.

Turn 20

All quiet around Hill 1.

Engaged and destroyed two FT-18s and damaged the last one. Now, two FT-17 tanks just showed up. Looks like someone raided the Warsaw Museum for equipment. 82mm mortar rounds started to fall. I'm going to shift the fire further southwest and start pushing forward from the north.

West Woods still quiet.

Enemy platoon showed up on small hill southwest of West Woods. They were engaged by Force 4 tanks.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero casualties.

Enemy: 2xFT-18 tanks destroyed, estimated 10 casualties.

[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.
