MINUTE 13 More Germans are discovered, fleeing. One more casualty taken while the others are withdrawing. It is the panic on the other side, another casualty. I have merged two teams in the same house to continue firing at the enemy. While the third team is going on the left doing reco toward the second objective. If the situation can not be worse for the Germans, my mortar team is now shelling them... Is this the beginning of the end?

MINUTE 12 My limited action on my left wing is starting. Two teams are advancing covering each other. While I am still detecting Germans in the woods in front of them. A first team rushs into the house that has a good LOS on their location. Looks like I am achieving fire superiority... Can't believe it. My orders for next turn are to continue to push them out of this village before concentrating on the second objective.

MINUTE 11 Time for my teams in the woods to advance a little to area fire on some sound positions. But the Germans are progressing too... This is not the end... My squad team, in the center of the village, has withdrawn once more. Germans have arrived in this first house of the village but are taken apart by my scout team. One more casualty for them. On my left wing, I will try to progress next turn.

Looks like what has been described here. Could you please confirm this is what you are seeing? Thanks

MINUTE 10 Seems I was wrong. This German is not going on the second objective. Looks like he is fleeing... In the center, I continue to randomly fire few smoke rounds with my mortar team to limit the LOS of the enemy. Few Germans are spotted at the exact location I had so many problems with in my first game. This scenario is definitely difficult for Germans. Overall situation is here.

MINUTE 9 Carefully moving into the woods, on my right wing, I realize that there are much more casualties than I have expected, at least four now. My panicking squad is back to treat the wounded. Germans are spotted into the woods... While others are moving to the other objective... I will consolidate my positions. I don't feel possible to attack right now.

Thanks a lot

MINUTE 8 In the woods, my team continues to fire and one lonely German decides this is too much. Surprisingly enough, he was able to avoid every bullet. Good luck pal. In the center, my surrendering guy decides it is time to take up arms back...

Very well done AAR

Message from @JoMc67 about our current game: but let's not declare victory too quickly...

MINUTE 7 Despite their local win in the center, the Germans are withdrawing. In the woods, the Germans are taken by surprise. No mercy for the enemy. While two teams are firing on the Germans, I have the third team moving FAST to catch the Germans... Small victory, the Germans are withdrawing. I think they have at least two casualties.

And a 5 seconds pause at each waypoint? Is it the way to go? Thanks Bil

MINUTE 6 The situation is extremely confusing. Lots of firefights this turn. On my right wing, Germans continue to approach, not sure they have noticed the danger. Some other Germans spotted here. As well as on my right wing. In the center, the firefight turns in my defavor. However, in the woods, my teams are beginning firing...

Yes it was a slow move. When you say short rushes of Fast and Hunt, for how many meters do you do Fast moves and same question for Hunt moves?

MINUTE 5 The situation deploys suddently with the incoming of about a team in the woods on my right. Alas, my troops are not seeing them... They are here guys!!! They are here!!! And you are behind them... But, this is too late. The team in the woods plus the one in the house from minute 4 are firing on one of my squad. The result is catastrophic. Another retreat... My guys in the woods are still progressing unable to spot the enemy.

MINUTE 4 Not much to report, Germans are firing on my troops from one house. Other troops are spotted just behind.

Thanks guys, I have sent your answer to @JoMc67

You are right.

Message from @JoMc67 : Any expert of this topic out there? Thank you

MINUTE 3 Another German is spotted in front of the house I fail to assault at my first try. Unfortunately, my orders were already given for this turn and it was impossible to stop my men. This guy has taken a shot from a LMG, either MG34 or MG42. My first casualty. On the left, the marathon's champion is now carefully moving while my reserved squad is taking the house in front of him. I am predicting bad things for him soon. At the end of the turn, I have also spotted some moves at the center of the map. I am wondering how @JoMc67 is able to move so quickly without tiring his men... Sound contacts everywhere at the edge of the village, this will be bloody...

Oh yes, he knows his subject perfectly. It is always a great pleasure to hear him talk about the origin and the use of this aircraft. Engine testing: The pilot was down in the cockpit at the time of the picture but, don't be mistaken, was inside the plane. Security always...

That is a shame yes but, as a pilot, I can say that security must NOT be neglected. At my airfield, there is someone who renovates a Stampe SV4C and he spends hours and hours on every detail to make the plane safe. Few pictures (sorry to be a little off topic here)

Thanks for the good advice @domfluff

MINUTE 2 A 10 seconds pause for my heroes before running toward their respective objectives. Next stop on my right wing near at the edge of the woods. In the center, one squad will advance carefully inside the village. On my left wing, I am reaching my first defined objective. Now, I will move more cautiously. And the surprise of the end of this turn. Incredible, one German is already there, rushing on the woods on the right of the village. I hope this guy has registered for the New York City Marathon...

MINUTE 1 I have ordered my team to do some FAST moves in order to reach key houses into the village. My left wing is here. In the center, I will try to mount some kind of reserve to see from where the attack came. On the right, one squad will rush into the woods.
