AAR CDN Para VS Baluka Super Troopers (ME QB)

[naughtkris]

[Wow, you're still here!  Welcome to Part 4]


Time Check: 1308

B Coy attempted to fight there way NW along the hedgerow. They had requested smoke, and it was launched all throughout the enemy lines. The hope that this would make getting into H2H easier, but the germans just rained down grenade after grenade from over the hedge. Meanwhile, the Panther's MG and HE torn up what little was left on overwatch south of LOON. 2 Platoon was told that if they were going to make a charge, that they should do it now.





A Coy stayed on central overwatch while firebase prepared their first shots.


C Coy head set up a base of fire with 5 platoon while 2 platoon was winning the H2H over the eastern flank. Scouts were sent off for a peek-a-boo surprise.




Time Check: 1309


B Coy became locked in a smokey dance of death. The germans seemed to be particularly adept at tossing potato mashers up and over. Thankfully the smoke partially obscured 2 Platoons preparation for a hard charge across the field. Once the smoke dissipates, MGs and ammo bearers at LOON would flank fire into the countless germans lined up at the hedge. That just leaves the Panther for B Coy to finish off.


FRAGO- A Coy to pair up with nearby remainders of C Coy and breach the hedge, then drive north to flank the germans to the east, firing at the main part of C Coy. Unfortunately, as that new order is being carried out, a storm of explosive death starts to rain down on A Coy. The explosions are massive and men try desperately to crawl into the craters. Once the shelling stops, A Coy wll consolidate then re-attempt the flanking maneuver.



C Coy is has pulled off a victory. Its mini flank with some scouts was enough to break the platoon worth of germans it was in H2H with and cut them down as they ran. With enough aggression, C Coy can keep up the momentum and flank even more of the germans. Meanwhile, the request made to Firebase had been approved. Three medium mortars haven opened up and started to pin and crush the enemy company on the eastern flank.



Time Check: 1310


B Coy kept up its revolving door of charge and runaway. The good news was that the enemy on the other side of the hedge was doing the same. As well, several troopers all think they got a grenade right into the tracks of the Panther, thus disabling it.


A Coy continues to consolidate and tend to the massive amounts of wounded.


C Coy also consolidates of the far eastern flank while firing into their own fatal funnel to kill the reinforcing german Coy that is simultaneously being hit by effective fire from Firebase. The East flank is looking good. Its gone from "not expected to hold", to "Charge!!!!".




Time Check: 1311


B Coy continues its H2H while 2 platoon charges across the field to provide relief. Maybe it was the winds not blowing away the smoke from the road fast enough, thus preventing flanking fire; or maybe the suppression first put down by 2 platoon wasn't good enough. Either way, about ten seconds before making it across the field, the germans opened up and mowed half of 2 platoon down. Things are not looking good for B Coy. Even the Panther is still active, if immobilized and clouded by smoke.


A Coy is back on the move, picking up stragglers and hard charging north along the hedgerow. Meanwhile, Firebase has split its fire between the Thule temples and the eastern flank.


C Coy is starting to move up, one hedge at a time. Not all of the enemy on that flank is pinned by mortars. There seems to be at least a platoon and MG support resisting C Coy's attempt to move up.


[End Part 4. The battle will get more interesting in a bit, I promise]
