Status: offline 		Somewhere in Northern Africa... It's Panzer vs. original british equipment time! Rommel vs. uhmm the British forces! The British commander (me) will try to somehow stave off the bloodthirsty and cunning forces of the Fox!

Points: I forgot, around 4000-6000 I think.

C&C: OFF

Artillery: 10%

Map type: Open desert with a bunch of hills (usual random map stuff)

Map size: Small

August 1941

Just got done with deployment. Let's see how this thing plays out.

7000 points here. That's a lot of troops on a small map. It's pretty crowded back here right now. How 'bout some of you Brits make some room over there. :-)

Status: offline 		The battle begins with a fierce barrage from both sides; the Germans letting loose with 81mms, 105mms and 150mms which poured out in a more or less straight line. A few British soldiers are killed (2 casualties.) The British in their part let loose with a couple of 25 pounders, hopefully hitting a few soldiers. A scout car moves forward and encounters an 81mm mortar and crew. The crew is showered with bullets from the car's machine gun. The car quickly retreats fearing direct fire from the 81mm.

A sandstorm has engulfed the battle!

I destroy a half-track this turn with an AT rifle. Nothing else much can be seen, mortars continue to rain down on my lines.

Status: offline 		A lot more action this turn as British Commandos infiltrate to their assigned positions. A Panzer mark II is destroyed in the German home hexes. Another one is assaulted but resists the commandos' satchel charges and grenades. More commandos infiltrate near a hill suspected of importance and seriously decimates an 88mm and its crew. A forward observer desperately tries to fight back.

In other news, armor not faring so well as they are met with fierce and organized Panzer mark IIIs accompanied by SS. 2 cruisers and a crusader are destroyed by the deadly 50mm. All the Brits have to show for those losses is one Half-track w/ a 37mm gun :mad:

Status: offline 		The commandos at my home hexes have finally been disposed of but not until they took a decent toll on my rear ranks.

This turn showed much more action, led by an armored engagement right near center obj and also in the south. The crusaders didn't fare to well against the Panzer III's.

Rommel must have anticipated the bad weather. He has brought a few flame-panzers to the field of battle, deadly platform at 1 hex which the Brits found out this turn.

I hope that 12 turns is enough to finish this battle.

Elsewhere...

"Sir!! We are being overpowered immensely by a concentration of Panzer IIIs and Flame tanks! What do we do now!?"

(static)

"Hold the line by Gods! Use everything you can right smartly! This is the British Army for Chrissake! There will be no defeat or retreat here!"

"Yes sir!"

Not much action, a scout car of mine is destroyed. Mortars continue to rain death & destruction across the British lines.

Status: offline 		Just found this in the suggestion box on the side of Rommel's tank. "Can't we just wait until the sandstorm passes?" Apparently the troops aren't really enjoying the weather.

Those blasted commandos just won't die and took out some more of my troops. Just a few minor skirmishes this turn, nothing really big. I know the Brits are out there somewhere...

... but where?

Artillery from both sides pound on suspected enemy positions... the sandstorm a great equalizer

British forces deploy their AA guns in the sandstorm, hoping to ambush unsuspecting tanks.

I SUrrender! NEver have I been massacred this badly in my whole life playing SP:WAW, well maybe by Viking once or twice...

New game? Same forces but new map? with normal visibility?

Status: offline 		I accept your surrender. Those flame tanks are hell on wheels in low-visibility fights.

Go ahead and setup another one just as you described. Same forces, random map is good. Just make sure you set visibility to 30+. :)

Now, for sweet revenge on Capt. Chris... :D :mad:

Status: offline 		A massive onslaught of Airborne British troops jump right in the middle of my main deployment area. I wish I had been counting but I think I saw over 30 transport aircraft. Not a good day to be a British soldier I might add. Too bad I didn't buy any AAA or it could have been worse.

5 light armor(support) units destroyed as well as numerous airborne troops.

The Germans suffered very light casualties.

I spotted a couple tanks down range and I'm sure there are more to come. Let's see how this one pans out.

Status: offline 		OK, I'm back, here we go...

British general gravely miscalculates the size of the enemy's rear defenses and paratroopers run amok behind enemy lines, like a chicken caught in a deadly and rapidly closing noose. An exceptional rifle squad attacks a half-track with a rifle grenade, exploding it and forcing the squad inside to disembark. This squad is then harrased by rifle and LMG fire. A forward observer is also killed.

To the front, Shermans race across the desert and take up positions under a hail of 88mm, 75mm and 50mm fire. Only one is damaged, hit up front with an 88mm shell, thank god range is still too great for an instant kill...

120mm german mortar throws my paratroopers in greater confusion... its starting to look like the scene from saving private ryan (its first 20 minutes)

Bloody Hell! :mad: :D :mad:

Still trying to rid my rear ranks of those blasted Airborne infantry as well as setup a forward line for fighting those Shermans!

So right now I have a two front battle raging. Spotted numerous shermans last turn and took some pot shots. Got a few of them, but they are still a little hard to hit. Not really seeing much more than that.
