I spent no RQ at all

++++++++++

I shall reclaim 2nd place

Well, Ecshdorf left

Night Raid

DOG 300/83

BAKER 243/39

FOX 216/40

As Fox will be well suited to close in fighting like we will see, and have the Free LT and MAJ I will go with them

So I start with

RANGER
RANGER VET 2
STUART
REL

First thing I get will be the LT, then MAJ ASAP as those are free

There are three routes into town:

Left and Right are narrow but the easiest to clear and you can set up rally points on either side

Mid is well dug in

So I will go left for fuel first, then go right and maybe hit the mid from behind later

Try this with the Stuart by itself, but taking faust hits

RANGER

MAJ

Ok, got that Inf to go to munitions, Stuart to follow when repaired

Major locking down the fuel point gives me another 6 Fuel

I will not bother to unlock anything as I recall there is plenty of good stuff lying around

PFs with MG42s are nasty

SHERMAN

AMBULANCE

Pick up stuff and take PAK from behind

Let the tanks take point for a bit while I heal

Officer in the area

Helpfully the way I am going

DO not like shreks but love HE

SHERMAN

FUEL CACHE

Unbind the Major and move him up

FUEL CACHE

Ok, that fight was going ok until the STUG turned up

SHERMAN

Whoah, lost some Rangers to the VIP guards

Stug is now abandoned

Repair and heal

RANGER

Ok, Recon to check for AT

Nah, just shreks

Killed the VIP, 10% Experience

Clear top right for good measure

Pull tanks back and repair

Use RELS to take STUG

SHERMAN

SHERMAN

Rangers to go cap


Send another recon up because I am sure there is an 88 around here

Yep, there it is

Drop Cluster Bombs and Major artillery on it

Go in with taks

Nasty Raketnwerfer, we hates it

Cluster bomb it but it gets a Sherman

Pull Tanks back o repair

SHERMAN

Got the PIV, abandoned, and the rakten

Think there is another 88 to the left

Recon

No, just a 40 but arti it anywhay

Send the STUG to top right so it REL crew can build Muni Cache

Use rangers to take out top roadblock

There is the other88

BOOM

Send the Rangers to check it whilst the tanks set off the AP mines on the road and clear the bottom roadblock

88 is NOT down

It is now

Convoy has left, so now I will drive around the map and kill everything

Convoy is behind me, so I need to run away to kill more stuff

31/-31 Silver 3 BAKER

36/-32 Silver 4 FOX

Supress and clear what is in it, but don't cap it yet

Send RELs to get wire and tank traps up around the perimeter

MAJ

SHERMAN

DUAL STUART

Now at pop cap so I might as well cap it

Set up retreat point right behind some fighting positions

1st Attack:

Puma + 2 Volks

It runs out of fuel

I will recrew it with a REL

Recrew and repair, now we can start hitting stuff.

Top fuel point first

Not sure what optional mission we will get, not seen intelligence yet

Clear the house, then top fuel

Leave Puma to deal with 2nd attack

Nope, mission is officer kill

Can do that with the tanks and rifles

Of course also defastating the area with Artilley helps...

Lost a fighting position

Also lost a few too many rifles pushing on that position

But frees up some pop cap

Decrew and repair

SHERMAN

SHERMAN

In proof that tank traps do odd things to pathing, STUG is somehow behind the Sanatourim

Send the Puma and Rifles to deal with it

So they have all decided to come through the wall

Pull the Shermans back too

Lost HMG

Clean right and push on fuel

Build some more positions and tank traps to fill the hole in the wall

Major recon right but does not quite cover fuel

Go in and kill everything

Next (last?) attack is P-IV that has run out of fuel and a IV/70

Drop artillery on that

Take the last point for vet

Pull back and get ready for final attack

Shooting at me on the right and running out of fuel

SHERMAN

Recrew everything

Despite tank traps they are still trying to get through the wall

Artillery

Try again, this time cap left only and don't overextend

Same build

Bring Ambulance back after taking left to back cap right

RELS extend up to their munitions but have to retreat

My LT arrives the same time as their officer

First contact is STURMS, try to get behind them with Rangers

Officer, Rangers get blown to bits and have to retreat

LT + RIFLES kill Officer and force retreat

Now I have more MP, shall elect not to use conversion at this time as I will need munitions for zooks

750 MP

Reinforce Rangers and RELS

RANGER

ZOOKS

Have enough fuel I can buy a tank, so lets use that MP blitz

SHERMAN

Save the other MP for another

Another officer

Vet 2

Got him

Retreat Rangers

RANGER

Kill those guys trying to get the mid VP

750 MP

Clear the right

And there is a VET 3 Sturmtiger

SHERMAN

Sturm tiger is abandoned but makes no difference at this point
