TOTAL RE-COIL: The Battle for Taco Village (Coil no Entry... you Bastad)

Interesting developments... As somewhat predicted, the panzers from up the east road slide into the depression and instead of slapping a bit of peanut butter and jelly on bread and having a nice little picnic... two panzers race along the depression towards the west, most likely thinking they have concealment.

Unfortunately for the panzers, one of them gets an unanticipated proctology exam from Dr. Sadler:



Definately not a surgeon this one, as the turn previous the M-10's got in two 50% rear shots for misses... thankfully Dr. (Adam) Sadler appears to have the hang of it now and parks a slapshot into the butt of one of the panzer IV's... the other gets away (to fight another day).

Le insidious and evhul and most repugnant Coil has also used another famous move, the slow draw... rushing the 3 panzers down the road and then keeping two in reserve for overwatch... the unholy sodomization of panzer unit 334 has caused these two overwatch tanks to scoot into view... most likely looking for vengeance...

One point: those two panzers may have been a critical element in laying another ambush on my M-10's from the far east side of the map... Le anxious Coil moves to soon in my humble estimation and exposes his two aces...



Thus when re-reading the thoughtful quote at the beginning of this post, those who have the will to lay back and not expose all their units, will definately have a better opportunity for sinking the blade into your enemy...

Now I know that Le smelly and vociferous lover of da clicky, mon sewer Coil, has gone armor heavy on my slightly larger than average ass, with:

3 StuG
5 Panzer IV
2 Grille
Which means he has enough for 2 companies of infantry... (which rounds his points total to 2000 almost on the button).

Not by any means does Le Coil have his pants down around his ankles, but he has missed a few golden opportunities... This will be a tough fight.

Time to think about some new strategies to deal with all those bloody panzers... banana in the tailpipe perhaps?

Cheers!
