Main Event V: Owl vs. Der Kuenstler

[Joonny]

Turn 6, with trees on this time ;)

A plt from TF-D and all of TF-E converge right on the advancing plt from KG-A. DK only spots 2 squads, an LMG and a section HQ. I wonder why DK is advancing his men so tightly? perhaps he didn't expect to make contact but then he was moving them on MTC orders. Whatever the reason the result is whole platoons being suppressed by single squads.

DK still has the advantage here however as he is advancing on KG-A's flank, and Owl doesn't yet know whether this is another full plt or just scouts.




DK is the first to experience the little quircks that occur when the friendly map edges are set the wrong way round, or in this case at least rotated 90 degrees.

He moves his MG team across the road on MTC (allways run across roads IMO unless you know there's enemies facing you on the other side of it.

Then some MG fire comes in from a halftrack and panics, heads back for where it came fromm but then another burst of MG fire makes it switch back again, another burst and they break and start heading east (the default friendly map edge for the allies in QBs). In this case it worked well for DK as it got his MG team where he wanted it to be but hopefully it will be a reminder to him as this could be potentially catastrophic.



DK rushes his tank forward on fast, presumably trying to bag a HT or two, but Owls smoke screen prevents that, he does get off some MG fire at some inf on the pavement however, no serious casualties though.



TF-A continues its move through the pines.



KG-B has split, 1xPlt of Pz Grenadiers heading towards the train station, one heading towards the northern road.
