[Oberst]

[size=large]Sitrep: Allied turn 10, Oberst vs Macnab

Axis turn began with ineffectual arty. They did place smoke upon several stronpoints W & SW of the factory complex and in Krupki itself, as well as the strongpoint near the captured 25 VP hex on the ridge N of Krupki. A PZ IVH moved into the woods just W of teh VP hex, firing at my engineer unit that I left on the ridge top for LOS. Lost 2 sp's but they held their ground. Another Tiger plt advanced into the smoked strongpoint. Is this going to cause problems I wonder?
Allied turn saw heavy rocket & arty fire in two different locations. In the far N our motorcycle plt was in LOS of the 10 VP hex and several rocket barrages slammed into the tiny hamlet. A HT plt is the only visible unit at present and they lost 2 sp's. In the S arty fire tore up enemy defenses but results where negligible to due smoke . Currently visible on the N end of the ridge around the 25 VP hex are two Tiger plts, and the PZ IV plt. If they haven't moved there is probably a disrupted Tiger plt in the orchard just W of the woods NW of the VP hex. Will try for the weak skinned MK IV first. First unit to move forward suffers a 1 sp loss and a disruption from the Tiger hiding in the woods with the MK IV. Another tank plt moves forward and also suffers a disruption. No fire from the Tiger plt on the edge of the ridge. Out of ammo? The next tank unit to move W beyond the VP hex comes under fire from the Tiger plt in the orchard but no losses or disruption. It fires and causes a 1 sp loss to the MK IV. Two more tank plts advance in a tremendous barrage knock out the remaining 2 sp's of the MK IV. Now for the Tiger plt on the ridge edge. An engineer unit advances just S of it and another tank plt, moving along the paved road positions itself just to the NW. It is now surrounded. Two T34/85 plts with a leader cut loose from 500 m's with frontal fire. The first salvo results in nothing but the second brings the desired disruption! Another M4 plt with a Leader then, in high gear, accelerates up the road and assaults the Tiger and 3 sp's go in the bag! Two more M4 plts, joined by a T34/85 plt then get into position along the road and blow away the Tiger plt located in the woods just NW of the VP hex. A single shot does in the Tiger, so a fresh M4 plt joins the other two and they also finish off the Tiger in the orchard. What a turn!
6 Tiger sp's lost, as well as 3 MK IVH's & 2 HT sp's. Allied losses amount to 2 engineer sp's and a single tank sp lost.
At the end of ten turns the situation is thus:
Allied Pt Loss: 123
Axis Pt Loss: 578
Total Pts: 480 - Minor Allied V
