DAR: USSR vs Finland

[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.

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.

Turn 20

Spotted a total of 10 enemy squads in two groups. One is heading towards the Engineers and one is heading towards Bravo. Since each group has five squads, I'm likely facing two enemy infantry companies. The group heading towards the Engineers is spread just a bit more, so some might be heading towards Alpha as well. I've got tanks moving back to support the Engineers. One platoon isn't going to stop the lion's share of an enemy company.

The other group of five is strung out in a line heading straight for the gap in Bravo's line. The third platoon isn't in position yet and Charlie's platoon is further away. I'm sending six tanks and to ACs to help deal with this gap.

As much as I want to counter battery against the enemy mortar, I've got to hold mine to help the Engineers.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

Turn 21

Shifting troops to meet the threats. Enemy group up north vanished in the trees, but the southern group is still visible. I'm going to engage them with tank fire. Maybe I can slow them down and allow my infantry to get into position.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Zero.

[RERomine]

Turn 22

Flag 300m northwest of Engineers turned. Enemy might have scouts out front or some troops I haven't spotted. Others are still visible after all, about 200m back from the flag. Plotted artillery near flags.

Opened up on southern enemy infantry with tanks, inflicting two casaulties.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Two casualties.

Turn 23

Engineers tense and waiting.

Tank fire and small arms from Bravo's position. Casualties on both sides. Artillery falling on HMG section from Charlie.

Casualties

Friendly: One casualty.

Enemy: Four casualties.

[RERomine]

Turn 24

Enemy in range near Engineers. Time to open up.

Bravo pouring fire into advancing enemy. They have a few more down. Six squads spotted, so that is half a company. Tanks still moving up. Kosmolets moving north on road to add to the fire on the enemy.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: Estimated 5 casualties.
