Setup: Infantry teams defend the south while MG34 covers the eastern approach into the village.

It stayed quiet for about 5 minutes then the Light AA gun (located S/E of Dommel Bridge) began to receive a few rounds of fairly accurate mortar fire w/ no casualties.

Teams of Paratroopers began advancing from the east over the bridge and into town! To conceal his position for as long as possible, I had MG34 set to ambush rather than defend. I was beginning to get nervous! (grin)

I set MG34 to DEFEND and the troops scattered. I went back to ambush again to avoid detection. As more troops entered the map I repeated: ambush/defend/ambush.

The Light AA gun had a LOS into the advance and I changed their orders to FIRE!

jhyden -> RE: GGC 9.17@1500 hrs: B#4 St.Oedenrode (10/17/2019 12:11:53 PM)

Bad idea! Although it caused a few casualties, it quickly attracted accurate mortar fire as well as direct fire from across the canal.

A lone survivor panicked and began to run north towards the action near the bridge.

I tried to issue an 'ambush' order so he would stop running and take refuge in a nearby shed. I lost track of him because of other pressing matters!

He eventually ended up just below the bridge girder and stayed there. He eventually perished in the upcoming cross-fire.

To the west, German infantry teams open up on an advancing group of Paratroops! The Para's eventually retreated.

Additional Paratroops are sent toward the bridge. MG34 defends!

I decided to send the command team to a (more) central position for a better view. At this point it was still safe to cross the street. However once they tried to establish themselves in a defensive position, they came under VERY HEAVY direct fire from the 2nd story building across the canal. I had to withdraw!

As I was moving my troops into position, with some under direct-fire, the American paratroops tried another advance on the bridge!
