A Close Run Thing

[Jim von Krieg]

Barrage on Hill 386




My artillery begins to increase its presence on the battlefield. I’m hammering the most likely positions his troops will attempt to defend. I’m going to feint toward the hill top, then sweep in on the flanks to support follow-on units moving straight on the hill.

PAS Barrage Continues



Lots of target and too few guns. I’m just going to make him bleed in his defensive positions as my guys march up from the beaches. As I suspected, he’s blown one of the bridges, probably both. However, there are crossing fords nearby. Of course, won’t he be surprised when my engineers build a crossing site away from his guns. I don't plan to attack the crossing sites until I'm sweeping up the river on his side with Scott's London Division slicing in behind him. Prior to that, I hope to suck him towards the coast to investigate my crossing site so when the British forces show up in the area we can bag the whole lot of the defenders.
