THE MAIN EVENT III! Arrow vs. Moondog

[Der Kuenstler]

Battle for the church:

Here is a shot of the church at the end of turn four. It's a little more difficult to follow infantry with extreme FOW because often they aren't visible. But here we see things from Arrow's side. The numbers are listed as survivors/killed.



We can now see the superiority of Arrow's US squads. There are 12 men per squad and their firepower at this range is 209. The Pioneer squads trying to enter the church have 9 men each and their firepower is only 161. Even though the bulk of Moondogs infantry is veteran, his Pioneer platoon here is regular quality. They are already getting shot up and pinned.

In this next pick, we see Arrow has run another squad into the church at minute five. The german squads are panicking and more than half destroyed. Their platoon HQ has been killed outside.



In this last pic from minute six we see the firefight is over, with Moondog's Germans all dead - a platoon HQ and two squads. The nearby 251/1s were blocked from supporting fire because of the hedge.



Arrow is in solid control of the central church at this point.

**Stay tuned - I've looked ahead and this battle is NOT over yet! :0
