Battle Report #2

[Chief Looking Glass]

I started to see ranging fire from the germans so I decided to slow the advance and take up some spots to cover a retreat if need be. I also spotted a half track under my pattern of fire. I wanted to keep it there so I moved up my forward sherman and park it on the left hand side of my command building. My first salvo is ranging in.


On the right my weapons crews spot a panzer up at the top of the map. He seams unaware of my presence so I continue to establish my right angle along the natural ridge.






During the next couple of minutes I became aware of a squadron of halftracks lurking on my rear flank. I immediately called in some mortar fire hoping I can get them holding. I bought it a little this way from the tree line hoping he would advance across this line and My mortars would show up in time. If anything if he cleared the area maybe I could return his advance and he would be retreating across the area.

I highlighted a ridge that exists between my rifles and these half tracks. I completely concealed my guys all the way up to the far left. Fearing he would keep trying to get around me I broke off two rifles to see what I could see.
