RE: First Clash at Carpiquet with Von Dondo
I've ravaged the Canadian formations as we've Clashed by inflicting twice the casualties, but still the game hangs in the balance. Ever present, the Canadian artillery rakes my formation incessantly. I took a few unexpected moves to get out from under it, but Mike quickly adjusted fire and the ton of steel falls all around everything I do.
On my left, Fireflies have entered the fray as they catch a few of my more exposed panzers pulling back from slaughtering his fixed units. In the wake of Mike's attack, Canadian light tanks burn after scouting out several of my panzers that are now engulfed in flames from the 17lber packing Shermans. Of course, covering forces are never far away to exact a little pay back.
I've built a slight minor victory, but with his reinforcements in the game its going to be tough to sustain. Deja Vu, the wall of smoke re-appears. Not sure what's behind it, but my guess is waves of ground pounders with a few Fireflies moving to assault my forward VP hex on my right flank. Time to brace for an all out assault as his infantry probe through the tree line in advance of larger formations is mowed down and driven back. Mike's last foray in this area was a solo Sherman assault that was futile. I think I'm about to have a lot of Canadians over for dinner.
On my left, his infantry moves forward across the open ground. AMBUSH!!! His troops scatter under the wall of lead that engages them, then I pull back out of LOS. No open targets for his artillery to pound this turn. If he wants it, he's going to have to dig it out of the village. I'm hoping his units take a few turns to recover from their disruption.
Well, it looks like the Canadians have regrouped and are seeking out my troops once more. My attack has come to a screeching halt.
