RE: Byte Battle Brawl Round 4 started!!
Grumlin and I have concluded our battle and he did a good job with little but infantry to attack with. He took the flag on the Russian right at the end.
I was blessed with 4 guns that made quick work of any armor he brought across the creek and were critical in slowing his steadily advancing troops. A Pioneer platoon dug in an "L" formation at the edge of the field in front of the road on my far right did a great job of stopping any advance there with one squad racking up 13 enemy casualties. Even after the death of their HQ they held, with the exception of one green squad. Of course they were backed by the regimental gun that weakened Grumlin's flanking troops.
I had my guns well placed, but once he managed to advance infantry closer to the buildings near my right flag, I had no infantry facing them. My Pioneers were on the far right and my infantry platoon was set up between the main flag and the left one, expecting to thwart an advance through the field on their right.
Grumlin had artillery that was both sporadic and off target. Had it been effective, it may have made all the difference. I'll gratefully accept the major victory, thanks Grumlin.
