DAR: USSR vs Poland

[RERomine]

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.

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.
