Turn 9 Action
email from Coil
It is bad mojo indeed to have some sort of idea of whether things went well or poorly. I hate even the "well, that turn had to hurt for you" kind of thing.

Accordingly, I shall say nothing...

I read that and thought - this turn was really bad for me.

But

I KOd two tanks right out of the shoot. And one of his 150 rounds landed next to his men and broke them. So I thought maybe things would continue going my way.

Until I saw this - and after watching over and over, I still dont know exactly what happened - other than I lost 4 AFVs from one explosion:

How quickly the bad luck pendulum can swing back into your corner. It is so bad, I cant help but laugh. My best guess is that there is a HQ with one/maybe two 81mm mortars in the yellow circle on the first pick. Got a tree burst that set off an explosion in an M8 (I'm still waiting to hear from Battlefront how falling splinters set off howitzer shells) which knocked out three other vehicles.

The turn ends with my vet M10 deciding to drive away from his dead friends and running face to face with two charging Pzivs who swiftly end his life. And the 150 gets on target and immobilizes my mg in a really lousy position. And my guns continue to not be able to do anything, but I am still hoping that changes.

obviously not as happy as I was before this turn, but right now still feeling good about my chances. He has 5 pzivs left, and I have all 5 of them in my sights with good hit and kill chances. 3 of those are from piats - which doesnt thrill me too much - but his force is still an unorganized mess. If he can consolidate this sudden advantage, I will be in trouble. Hopefully he cannot.
