MAIN EVENT VII! Ratzki vs Joonny....

[Der Kuenstler]

Below are a couple of shots from Joonny of his setup and plans, but first a shot of these seacliffs. You can see that ANY vehicles set up on either side of these cliffs will NOT be able to cross over to the other side. There are just too many jagged rocks and too steep of a slope, as we can see by this PzIIIM's movement line. However, there ARE a few spots along the ridge where infantry can get down, contrary to what I believed earlier.



Here Joonny sends me a couple of shots of his setup with pre-drawn plans of where his forces will go - two brownie points for him. This first shot is in the North half of the map facing East. He appears to have three Panthers and three Stugs on the lower area headed for town. These vehicles do not appear to have any riders. His Jager company is all on foot down there.



This next shot is above the cliffs to the South. He has three more Stugs and a Panther headed along the bottom of the sea wall, along with two SMG platoons. His MG42s, sharpshooters, and a rifle platoon are all up above the seawall - a good place for them with their long range ability. He puts his remaining Panther and two stugs up there - they can't get to the flags, but their shells can. Overall I like this setup - except I would have put riders on the vehicles headed for town - he's going to lose valuable time getting them all there on foot.
