RE: Random chatter...
Pawel and I have a real slug fest going...
Red Air force showed up taking out a flammenwagen prepping for the bridge crossing... Enemy arty everywhere... Loaded track of Engineers bite the dust... Ouch, that hurt... A King Tiger is disabled under a tremendous barrage...
Once the fires lift, Pawel's Reds try the southern flank of the battle raging over the bridge and his attack is again disrupted by my long lines of fire from the King Tigers and the towed 88's... Two platoons stuck there in the open...
Looking down the muzzles of Panthers, his SMGs retreat back, leaving the Engineers guarding the bridge... A platoon of Shermans appear in the tree line... It's like their beaming in...
As my artillery pounds the enemy, the Red engineers abandon their post and retreat down the road...
Good-bye to the T34/85 platoons stuck in the open... Towed 88's, King Tigers and Panthers light him up... More smoking wrecks near the burning trucks... The Sherman platoon is driven back with two fewer tanks by fire from the Kings... Good, starting to attrit his armor...
My Panthers cross the bridge in the center, in concert with halftracks, I attempt a close assault... No joy... Engineers retreats into the treeline with the SMGs... I unleash a barrage of fire from panzers and approaching infantry... Surprise as my infantry moves in from above... More troops begin the rush for the bridge...
Its clear his engineers have blown the second bridge across the river on the back side... Well, I'm definitely not going the southern route, but on the bright side there is no need to leave screening forces in the area... time to pack up and move north...
Right after I kill that pesky 1 strength engineer that keeps retreating under fire with his back to the river and the blown bridges, there is nowhere for him to go... DIE!!!! but he won't... I see some free trucks caught on the wrong side of the river as well... More free points... going to need all those points as this one is going to be tight...
I'm across the river, but given Pawel's bag'o tricks so far, there might be some more heavy fighting to stay there...
Regards from the Electronic Eastern Front...
