THE MAIN EVENT! Walkure vs. Herroberst

[Der Kuenstler]

Notice also no half squads for scouting as yet?

None noticed.

Here is Walkure's setup - main force:



He has two Fusilier squads and various FT units, snipers, TH teams, and MG42s mounted on his six 251/1s, two of his Jagdpanzer IVs, and his Flammpanzer III. His remaining two Jpz IVs are on the other side of the map - out of command range.

Interesting: Like Herroberst, Walkure Lines up all of his vehicles in single file, even though these roads will accomodate vehicles side by side. Why? Won't this delay each of them needlessly?

No 1/2 squads as yet.

Overhead view:



His two Jpz IVs on the North side are a smart move - coming from two directions he's more likely to get an opportunity to get a side shot. Downside - they are out of command over there so he will lose time getting to town.

He has at least 4 MG42s on the north side in command along with his spotters. I believe he plans to walk the MGs to a high ridge and do some long range harassing.

The rest of his infantry are on foot in a central low area - they should be able to go quite a ways unspotted through there.

Wicked: Walkure's 120mm & 81mm spotters are both together (did not see that at first) and have been placed so they can already see the Southeast 100 PT flag where Herroberst's main force is projected to go. Depending on the delay it may be falling right as HO's halftracks pull up - a potential allied disaster!

Possible goof: Walkure's green 251/1 is set up IN FRONT OF his vet and regular Jpz IVs - can you say traffic jam?

Coming next: opening moves....
