RNL vs Jobu88 QBME [Jobu88 - keep out!]

[RNL Tiger]

In my last battle with Jobu88 there were three main flags and one minor one. Two of the main flags were together and the third was some distance away with a minor flag close by. He chose an infantry heavy force with two platoons of T-34/85 tanks. He feinted an attack on the major and minor flags with a squad of PTRD ATRs whilst concentrating all of his forces on the two major flags. He did not succeed against the Axis infantry there because they were supported by the remaining tanks after the tank battle on the hill. In short the Allied infantry could not cross the open spaces.

It is highly possible that I will see similar tactics again, in which case my infantry may be dangerously split between the two flags. However, I will rely on the ability of the armour to support the infantry at the flags in sufficient force to stop any attack succeeding and destroying my infantry in detail. The other question is what is his likely force composition? I will make a starting assumption that he has 5 or 6 AFVs and 5 platoons of infantry. Time will tell…
