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

[Copper]

"Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere.
Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it's a mountain.
From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
But you can make Fart-ee noises with your armpit that you can hear."

- Leto's litany against seriousness

Le Coil. Smelly. Insidious. Clicky Lovah.

As predicted, he strikes with the speed of a rubber snake. He splits his tanks in pic a nic valley so that two move back into my LOS and two move forward into my LOS. WHAT SAY YOU?? FOUR!?? Yep, somehow, Le surrepticious Coil managed to get what looks like an armored car into the Valley unnoticed.



The front panzer and the AC bite the dust... but one of my shiny M-10's gets a slap upside the head by the lone panzer that escaped (back to fight another day... I knew that would come back to haunt me... bastard Yank gunners...!!)

Sgt. (Adam) Sadler gets the bucket of popeye's shout out of his hand, and in a panic, chokes on a greasy chicken bone, and becomes a statistic... the lead M-10 is shocked.



Perhaps that AC is actually the 4th Grille?? Guaranteed its dead though... did not move or fire the whole turn after getting a full frontal lobotmy. So far, I have won this round, and need to retreat and regroup... luckily, Sadler's 'Popeye express' TD is in full reverse and out of LOS when the new turn arrives, and I'm hoping that he can get out of site before the panzers butter his biscuits for him... it will be awhile before Sadler is back in the fight, as he will need a mourning period for the lost bucket of fried chicken.



The Grille on the hill, is a very bitter pill, and his firing on my men is making them ill... well, one man from my platoon leader unit either got a piece of shrapnel in him, or a projectile chicken bone from Sadler's exploding bucket of Popeyes. They will be withdrawing toot sweet next turn. The rest of my plucky Canucks hit the dirt. The howitzer jocks are about to crest the hill, and hopefully all three will punch the lights out of the Grille on the hill. That will also force the lone Pzr IV to reconsider his options...




I'm hoping that the panzer IV does not get into LOS of the Priests this turn, and that they concentrate entirely on wiping the Grille from the face of the planet. The slow ROF of the Grille practically assures that it is a pretty good bet for exploding into pretty sparky sparks.

LE insidious Coil is fighting like a Tiger... his infantry are not to be seen (leading me to wonder if he bought any... LOL!) and his StuG's are keeping overwatch on the town... That's fine by me... if he wishes to split his forces, I will do my best to take advantage and concentrate all of mine on one or the other...

Cheers!
