AAR: Eagles Strike - Buchholz Station

[Rabbit]

Turn 5 Germans:


START OF TURN:



The Germans focused their fire on the hex that now shows a pinned German squad just above the left-hand objective. There was a two-man US bazooka squad in that hex. We were able to pin them before assaulting them which enabled the assualt to be successful even though it was uphill. After that, the Germans next pinned the machine gun squad in the objective hex, so we attempted an assault on that hex as well. The assault failed causing the German squad to become pinned. However, we killed two out of the three men in the machine gun squad, which should make a subsequent attempt much easier.

The German squads in very lower left-hand corner attempted to move further southeast so as to flank the US and prevent reinforcements from coming down the road, however it turned out to be a bad idea since both squads were quickly pinned.

The uppermost squads continued to advance solely to keep the US forces occupied on that front, but aren't expected to move much further, since they are outnumbered on that front. The uppermost pinned squad retreated into the hex above where their leader could rally them without exposing the leader to enemy fire.
