Mangudai -> RE: funkiwi vs mangudai (6/4/2004 5:05:07 AM)

I just got back from my two week camping trip in colorado. Man it was great!
Your fire doesn't look so inaccurate from the recieving end. But, it's true my units are sharper shooters.
Your main attack in the south has developed into a well defined salient. My guys along the front of the salient are hurting but holding, at least for now. After the massive artillery barage of the previous turn, my infantry charged the north flank of the salient inflicting heavy casualties. Your picket line in the middle has plenty of gaps, and besides there is nothing there that my units can't brush aside. I advance across the entire north half of the map. The highlights this turn were an ISU-172 knocked out by an 81mm mortar that hit the bottom! It must have had a precarious position on that slope and been flipped over. The other highlight was a squad of marines who had a halftrack shot from under them by a 90mm shell at point blank range and they still had the balls to hit the ground fighting. Gotta love that corps! Medals all around my dear boys.
Don't talk about finishing yet. Most of the special ops guys haven't even arrived yet.
In funkiwi's backfield my rangers are knocking out a few AT guns, but having difficulty with his MG's. He also has armored reserves which are making my rangers pay dearly. Where are the Russian special ops? Don't they want to discover the surprises waiting in my backfield? It's still early, I bet they're coming.
There is so much more I would like to say, that would interest third parties reading this, but I can't because it would affect the game. I've figured out many important things about funkiwi's strategy, but I can't let him know what I know. What I can say is this, he appears to have decided to commit his full force on the southern half of the map before the game even began. In the north he arranged a diversion which prevented me from knowing this for about a turn or two but not long enough. His main force followed right on the heels of his recon, before they really knew what they were getting into. My gambit was much more flexible. Since we are playing with enourmous recources (10,000 pts) and the map is very foggy, I decided to cover the entire front with infantry and advance slowly with plenty of manuverable reserves. That is part of my strategy anyway, you'll have to guess the rest.
