2/ Two Troops of Challengers have occupied the Improved Position that overlooks Nordheim and surrounding area - a supurb position, compliments of the RE.
Right on que, forward ellements, BR2 recons are spotted tangled up in an obstacle (abatis - felled logs in a Herring bone pattern across the road),
are shot to pieces...
The rest of the Battle Group start digging in on the eastern side of Nordheim - excellent ambush positions as Ivan comes trucking round the corner or through the Wald into an 'unoccupied' Nordheim...The Scorpion Recce has been sent south to a high ground to keep tabs on the south easterly approaches, especially needed eyes on the mined road N285 leading into Nordheim - no point in laying mines if you can't cover them.
Contrary to my two limit stacking rule, this is an exception as the 'over stack' won't be spotted if Ivan bounds out of the adjacent woods or comes face to face with the dug in Battle Group around the road. The sheer volume of firepower will be overwhelming..
I don't use 'reserves' - units tucked away back behind the lines, always found that when I want to use them the firefight is usually over. My 'reserves' are already in the Line - Co.HQ's with their accompanying Armour on Hold, these HQ units will move to a hot spot if required (casualties are usually high but I need that Armour now not later.
