Got some time to post a turn, so...
TURN 9
Not a ton of surprises this time around, just continuing the existing engagements. Doug is rushing some Firefly's up to the town and my left flank, but I'm not too worried about them yet.
Here on the right flank I'm overpowering Doug's forces. With the 95 Churchill dead I have a chance to bring my hidden tank forward and support my infantry. I got a couple of casualties this turn, one from the new 75 Churchill I spotted in the top left of the pic. I'm fully confident that I'm about to overwhelm his forces here, and once that tank is dead I can fully flank the town.
Here is a look at my casualties so far in the wheat field. Things aren't looking pretty. I'm ordering them to hide with about a 200 meter cover arc. Doug killed my platoon leader, so I'm bringing up the company XO to take command I ::THINK:: that he will take command of the platoon, but I could be wrong. There's now another Firefly that popped up, making a total of two confirmed, one behind the first building on the road and the other in the top of the screen shot. They're both just a hair too far reverse slope of my Panther for it to see them. They aren't worrying me yet, except for this next contact...
The one that's wayyyyy on my left flank I have a lot of tree cover to the left of my bottom left Panther, so I'm going to let him sit pretty for now and let the Fireflies come to him. The reserve StG platoon is going to secure the edge of the woods and I'm sending my middle Panther down the road towards the town in cause Doug tries to move his Firefly forward.
So basically the plan is to
A) Sit tight in the wheat field. Doug hasn't shown any mortars so far and he can't bring his Fireflies to bear on my PzGs without my Panther spotting them. Their presence will be enough of an advantage.
B) Cautiously exploit the gap in the right flank. I'll be using my infantry to flush out any AT teams and my far right Panther to support them. I'm going to go ahead and try to get a flanking shot on the Churchill. Should work, right?
C) Secure the middle of the map with the reserve StG platoon, and prepare to assault the town. The middle Panther is going to support them and help protect the far back Panther. I have a feeling Doug is going to wait until he's in a good flanking position and then attack the back Panther from 3 angles. Middle Panther will be insurance against that.
