DAR - Ratzki vs DasTiger

[Ratzki]

Thanks for the comment Col T.:)
About 30 seconds in to this turn and DasTiger shows me an Armoured Car next to the Pz that he rolled out a few turns ago. It only has time to sqeeze off one burst of MG fire at some of my infantry before it looses LOS to my men. I don't think it had enough time to target with it's main gun so I am still in the dark as to the type of AC that it is. DasT. seems content at the moment to let me advance on all the flags that I wanted to claim at the start of this battle. That's fine with me. I think that I am going to hold up somewhat with moving to many of my squads around, as I seem to have the flags that I want and he will have to switch over to the offensive now. I do not want to be right on top of the flags anyhow, I am going to try to make him come and get me. I will be in ok overwatch positions soon, and will be able to start to move my armour around somewhat.



More of the same here as well. I am in good position and should have control of the flag soon. My pioneers are on the reverse slope of the hill and with his PZ and AC having LOS to this hill, I am not in a hurry to move to the other side. My one 76mm gun has an ok LOS to protect this hill as well.



Here is what his AC targetted there for a brief second. Tis is the lead platoon moving towards flag C. again I am flirting with trying to stay on the reverse slope of the hill. He is too far away with the units that he has shown me to do any real damage, and as long as I stay on this side of the hill, any units that are closer will not be able to see me. Both my 120mm and 82mm FO teams can target most areas that he might come out of to threaten this flag, I hope.



Below is the overview map of what I have been up to so far. My armour is going to hold pat 'till I can confirm where his armour is, not just the light stuff that he is showing me but his big stuff. Th red lines show my LOS lanes that I have. My armour has almost isolated the forest around flag A.
Flag B is totally under control and I am just setting up some defences with the few units that are there. I am going to start to move the BA's that I have to support the infantry moving towards flag C. This might get me a side shot at his armour as a bonus.
Flag C will be shored up some in the next few turns and I might move a platoon around to flag E and see what is in those woods. I don't know yet.
Flag D will be mine soon enough. The pioneers will nold pat as well. I am confused as to what DasTiger's plan is, I have not seen hide nor hair of any infantry at all. I know the map has some good cover, but I did not think that it was that good. I can only figure that he is moving up through the woods somewhere near where I have placed the red ?'s on the map. I guess I will soon find out what is going on, hopefully I have prepared well to deal with his plans.
