Mike sent a platoon of Shermans to assault Epron... they moved up, took some OPFIRE from the adjacent hex to no effect, then they just vaporized in the close assault on the village... No supporting fires, no supporting infantry, no nothing... Not sure what he was seeing, but more Shermans bite the dust...
I guess Mike only saw the AT Guns and thought easy mark...
Sounds to me like a classic Ashcloud attack strategy - you can see Mike has been playing way too many games against me, my ability to squeeze out a loss despite all the odds being in my favor is rubbing off on him.
Ha - might be a different Mike, but if there is a will there is a way for my troops to incur losses in the most unconventional ways!
Jim had been pounding the village we had both committed a major portion of our forces to, so I wanted to take the opportunity to relieve some of the pressure and strike on the left. I had an objective hex spotted for a few turns and was certain it was solely defended my an AT platoon (or, as I mentioned to Jim, that was my assessment after a few glasses of scotch). Very, very interesting battle! Jim is a great and tough opponent but I'm hoping the Canadians can recover and push the Germans back.
