I had to go to a 2nd post due to limit size of adding pictures - no biggy however.....
and after - you can see I am staying out of sight with all opp fire turned off - hoping to do some sniping here and there....
you can see my ambush that I will try and set-up and take out his precious steel beasts with my M24's that have now moved back below the city of Lanzerath.
Here is the front below Losheim at the start of turn 8 - keep an eye on those Stugs that decided to stick their necks out....
and after - a good tank fight broke out with my boys getting the better of Scott's Sugs - I took out one whole platoon and took out more tanks with retreats - I did loose 2 M24's in the exchange - but it was worth it - hope to have Scott not stick those damn things out too far next turn!
Here is the middle northern front:
Scott is starting his assault in Auw now - I will try and keep to the sides of the road and forest edges and play havoc with his troops...
and after:
here is the sector below Auw:
and now after I have good visibility to some of the stugs that Scott has sitting up to the east of Buchet and you can see my tankers ready to light him up when the opportunity arises in a few turns:
and here is the southern fronts - Scott is trying to come up the main highway just east of Eigelscheid and we have had some bloody exchanges and you will see in the after I have a mortor crew in the woods up north of the highway and Scott has an engineer platoon - at that distance I took out 3sp's and with my 2nd shot cause the troops to scatter and turn tail....hope he brings some more troops into the hex that was occupied by that engineer platoon - they will be greeted by some 105 fire - yea baby!
and afterward:
in the south I have moved off the ridge due to his strong presence there now with armor and infantry - my 57mm AT guns are going to head to the forests below the ridge and get some butt shots...remember I also have some reinforcments just southwest of this postion the M24's will arrive soon to grett Scott's boys!
And here is where I stand now at the end of my turn 8:
This is one hell of a battle fellas and I will update you after my next 8 turns and if something good shakes in between I will fill you in - until then - lets rock!
