THE MAIN EVENT III! Arrow vs. Moondog

[Der Kuenstler]

Minute Eight:

Moondog tries to take advantage of the two Shermans on the ridge that have just killed the elite Panther. They are now buttoned and blind as some 81mm artillery has been falling around there. But it turns out there is a cloud of smoke from a fallen building blocking his view to them - the stug can only shoot at the infantry in front.



From Arrow's side, we see he has anticipated Moondog would try to blow up the central church - he has run his infantry outside and hidden them - you can see them around the church - one panicked platoon could not be controlled and stayed inside. A second stug up the street can see the church but decides to fire at Arrows fresh reinforcements coming through the trees instead.



Moondog's AT resources are thinning out - he bought only two schrek teams. One was destroyed in the fallen building nearby and this second one is down to one broken man - he'll likely die within a minute as the enemy on the hill is still shooting at him.



Some units are in heavy fire areas, and some are like this vet Tiger - he hasn't seen any action since knocking out Arrow's Elite Sherman and continues to sit in the same spot, awaiting orders.



Moondog's Elite IVH moved up next to his stugs. Arrow's four Shermans remain still. The last of both commander's infantry have made it across the rivers and are beginning to take shots at each other here and there. For now both commanders appear to be strengthening their positions while waiting on the other to make a bold and possibly foolish move.
