Axis Campaign 11/41

[valo2000]

Turn 7

It becomes apparent that the russians will attack from the south no movement at all has been spotted on the norther road leading to our crossroads.
So no easy ambushes in the wood. The HQ Platoon will be relocated toa more central psotion overlooking the southern Flank.
From there it can give support fire and rallying.

Our remaining tanks moved forward inorder to attract artillery fire and it was succesful. one 76.mm battery was immediatly silenced by our 105s we will keep them in CB fire mode.
Also the spotted 2 mortars and will try to destroy them.

We als manged to destroy 2 armored cars. It seems like the strongdefense in the north was not necessary we will relocated the rumanians to the crossroads also. the spanish platoon will stay on the hill.

Turn 17
Russian Recon Forces have taken the villages in the south.
We deal some damge to them but have to reveal thelocation of our Fort. heva artillery is falling on it lets see how long it can hold.
Unfortunatly the rumanians were stillmovinginwhenthe barrage started. we will see ifthey can get intothetrenches fast enough to avoid the shelling.
The enemy has valentine matilda and t 35s. so far no t 34. thats a good notice. The other tanks are slow and are easier to control. also the armor is a bit weaker.
