RobW -> VikingNo2 vs RobW - Italy vs Britain (2/13/2003 8:12:31 PM)

This scenario has been underway for some time - in essence meeting engagement in the north african desert between the forces of Italy and those of Britain. No Air, 10% Arty.

Up to now VikingNo2 has the upper hand - he has all but my rear VHs in his possesion and is dominating the battlefield with well placed tanks and AT guns and by dominating the 2 central heights.

The Brits are fighting well in parts. Throwing men into the northern sector may relieve some of the tension in the center/south.

I will let Viking give you his take on this - he has far more experience than me so I am trying to pick tactics and hints off of how he plays!

We are three or four turns in, the situation is fairly good for the boys from Italy now but RobWs matildas have not reached the front, but they will soon those are going to very difficult to stop. For not playing the Desert very offten RobW is doing well. His tanks outclass mine but I do currently have the better ground for now;)



RobW -> (2/17/2003 7:48:56 PM)

My forces are in a war of attrition, trading shots with the well positioned enemy. I manage to destroy 2 ATRs in the North and capture VHs in the center - nothing else to report



VikingNo2 -> (2/18/2003 1:16:20 AM)

I took back the Vhexs ( The Britsh always think everything is theres ) Killed a couple of tanks as well. Here come the Mitildas:eek:



RobW -> (2/20/2003 3:28:55 PM)

VHexes change hands. In the north I am slowly forcing my troops forward ikn the face of oppressive fire. In the south there is too much smoke for me to risk advancing at the moment.



VikingNo2 -> (2/21/2003 3:24:00 PM)

Some of the Italains are starting to run I hope it doesn't spread, I had some of them shot hopefully they will get the point:rolleyes:



RobW -> (2/25/2003 4:02:28 PM)

This action is degenerating into a stalemate around the vertical center. No major movement of forces just trading shots to try to force a breakthrough



VikingNo2 -> (2/25/2003 11:58:56 PM)

I seemed to have inspired the Italains, several tank kills coupled with sevral AC kills made this a good turn, capture most of the vhexs back. The only bad note Matildas are getting to the front and I got a sound of things to come plunk....plunk....plunk. Lets see if I can get some Flame squads close


Back to you my good man.:D



VikingNo2 -> (2/27/2003 5:43:28 AM)

Matildas have arived and are as difficult as ever, my shots just go plunk plunk plunk

Tried to email you but got undeliverable



RobW -> (2/27/2003 3:25:03 PM)

my hotmail account had reached its limit (mainly with PBEM zip files!)....have donwloaded this turn and will make my next later



RobW -> (2/27/2003 8:18:55 PM)

The desert grinder continues to role. Men and tanks move forward but are replused. The north is where most of the action is currently happening so I am reorganising in order to counter the expected main thrust in the south or center.



VikingNo2 -> (2/27/2003 11:27:23 PM)

RobW is being quite crafty, with the truck movement that has been spotted, multiplr 2lb AT guns have been set up just on the other side of the smoke line, Arty is currently reloading so any assault will have to wait a turn or two.

Killed two of those Matilda Mansters and trying to isolate those hidden AT guns, acouple of other tanks die as well I lost some vehicles to some of those AT guns .:(



RobW -> (2/28/2003 7:46:37 PM)

At last a decent round for me - managed to take out 4 of his tanks - in payment for 2 of mine!!! I think it may be time for a tactic rethink - perhaps I should call on monty for more forces



VikingNo2 -> (3/1/2003 5:58:29 AM)

Killed a Matilda Monster, and another tank. Advancing in the sount and center a little



RobW -> (3/4/2003 7:46:35 PM)

Reinforcements have been called for - I hope they can get here before I am anihilated! In the south I manage to destroy a tank destroyer. The center sees 1 tank taken out by an interpid bunch of sappers - the VC medal for their sergeant I think. In the NOrth I am still pushing but am making no real headway.



VikingNo2 -> (3/4/2003 11:53:21 PM)

Down south is going to be difficult there are several 2lb AT guns coveing some tanks slow advance. Killed a tank in the center, currently trying to find and single out the Matildas



Buzzard45 -> Cheer-up old chap!! (3/5/2003 10:55:05 PM)

Tally Ho!!

[SIZE=3]Come On Robw !! FIGHT With Those BRITS[/SIZE]

Screeeeee!! Screeeeee!! I hear the pipes. The pipes, the pipes are calling.



RobW -> (3/6/2003 10:25:32 PM)

Viking - next move will be early next week! Managed to get time off work tomorrow so going to my parents with the family



RobW -> (3/10/2003 8:02:05 PM)

The northern flank is becoming a bloodbath. The smoke is allowing him to move his forces up to counter anything I can get near him. 2 Matildas are still fighting and have dislodged some of his forces. In the south I am waiting to see what comes out of the mist - I am certain he is about to launch some sort of assault in that area and am trying to marshall enough of my depleted forces to repel him.



VikingNo2 -> (3/11/2003 5:21:20 AM)

Those two Matidas die this turn as well as a few tank, trying to work on his AT guns now



RobW -> (3/11/2003 6:30:28 PM)

Are you playing the same game - I am sure you claim to have killed 8 Matildas when I only had 4.

In the North I continue to waste men in the smoke. There must be a way out soon.

In the center I manage to kill 1 ATR unit - thats all!!!

in the south I force 1 ATR to retire



VikingNo2 -> (3/13/2003 1:01:40 AM)

Actually about 5 or 6, four in the North this turn just pushed some infantry back, not much else



RobW -> (3/13/2003 5:16:06 PM)

not a lot this trun. Took out another couple of your **** ATR units and tried to push forward to see how strong you are



VikingNo2 -> (3/13/2003 11:58:19 PM)

Killed a Matilda in the center and two armored cars up north, must oth the rest of my men were either tired or scared, they would rally this turn some even ran RobW peobably doesn't believe me but when play Italy its a constant problem



VikingNo2 -> (3/18/2003 12:34:55 AM)

bump



RobW -> (3/18/2003 7:56:42 PM)

My forces are still bogged down on the front line. In the south the appearance of masses of smoke pressages an imminent Italian attack. I just hope I can defend the hard won gorund and some how force a break through



VikingNo2 -> (3/19/2003 5:18:03 AM)

Large British armored force spotted in the center, firepower is rushing to the center !

In the north, some AC are put out of commision.



RobW -> (3/26/2003 4:20:49 PM)

Armour reaches the front and immediatley gets hit by Italian ATRs!!! Hope to be able to force a breach somewhere on this static front.



VikingNo2 -> (3/27/2003 12:19:50 AM)

More Matildas are headed to the Front:(

Killed/decrewed a couple more lesser tanks trying to hold the line, but running low on ammo :eek:



RobW -> (3/31/2003 3:42:54 PM)

Sorry about this - time is short at the moment - will try to get turn played soon
