Still Full of Fight
Wolfman and I are still locked in mortal combat and he's Still Full of Fight...
I seem to have weathered the stiff arm to the face and have begun to move forward towards the deep objectives... He still holds most of the objectives, but after the bloodbath he suffered to gain them I don't expect he will be able to hold them now that my forces are moving forward...
My infantry company on the right flank barely exists, but the Jumbos are exacting a heavy toll on his infantry that administered all that pain. I've decided that I no longer need to shoot and scoot. Time to grind forward with overwhelming power. He's run out of the treeline... driven back under the 75mm and 105mm fire of the Jumbos and the Shermans... AAA tracks line up to contribute to the fight... Not much success, but I do love to hear the MG sound they emit...
In the center, I'm pushing down the road with my infantry. No contact so far. My guys pass the burning wrecks of what used to be his panzers.
On my left, King Tiger in the open... I'll avoid that... however, my armor pounds on his infantry traveling down the roadway of death.. Not much left there... a few more turns and what's left of his original attack force will cease to exist...
My Pershings engage a lone infantry unit on the plain VP hex... Vaporized by 90mm HE rounds... feeling a little froggy I send my scout jeeps forward to do a drive through the recently vacated hex... Only partially successful as I roll through the hex to make it mine, but the return trip out of LOS isn't so uneventful... King Tigers apparently don't like retreating jeeps... Burning jeeps reflect one of my more foolish endeavors in this fight...
Offensive operations underway...
Enjoy,
Jim
