The Coil steals Leto's playbook, puts a hirrting on him...(No peeking Leto's, please)

[The Coil]

Turn 24

On the left, not a ton of action. My armor creeps up, my infantry absorbs some more small arms fire. Leto appears to be massing his infantry coming in from the left.

On the right, the infantry fight goes poorly:



My guys are getting the worst of it. Mortar fire breaks my leftmost squad, and Leto's got me outnumbered. I think I'm hurting him a bit, but he's just got too many guys.

On a side note, I spot the TD (you can see the lost contact marker in the upper left of that last pic) heading behind the village left to right, probably to try to get some shots on my panzer and Stug on the right, especially if he can squeeze me between the TD and the Priests.

My panzer has moved up the road, and pulls into LOS of the Priests with a few seconds left in the turn.



One of the Priests fires and misses. This is good - my guy will be able to get off a shot early in the next turn, and probably beat a retreat before them other guys aim up on him and fire ( I can't wait to hear Leto howl in indignation, as my panzer capped his Priest on the first shot last turn. I'm sure he's complaining away about how his guys can't hit jack. Try using AP shot instead of burritos in your guns, my friend...)

Leto's been doing a decent job keeping his infantry moving - every time I lay down some area fire on his infantry, he's already got them skittering to new positions. Not bad work at all. Starting to run low on HE, and when that's gone, the offensive is over. Got about 8 Grille rounds left between 2 Grilles (the 3rd is out of ammo), and about 80 between the panzers and stugs, which sounds like a lot, but when it's all you have to break a company+ of infantry, it goes quick...
