ChappyCanuck Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Since two of our Allied Officers are Canadian (on loan to the Irish Guards) I have attached one of our national mottos: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 LOL very true. Isn't that the world's motto? There is a cupcake shop next to the butcher shop where my son works part time. They sell bacon for the maple bacon cupcakes that the cupcake shop makes. Yeah they are real. And yes I have tired them. Sadly the motto is just plain wrong when it comes to cupcakes - Yuck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathangun Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Gentlemen of XXX Corps. Nathangun address's his troops before going into action. Today we will advance to rescue our brothers in arms in Arnhem. It will be a hard battle but I'm told jerry has thrown in the towel. We will be fighting young boys and old men, so we'll hit jerry for six and be home in time for Christmas. Has it turned out there was much resistance from the 'old men'. Today our orders are to liberate Valkenswaard. It is now 0600, 18 September 1944. The weather for today is warm and damp, with a light breeze blowing from the south west. The sky is slightly overcast. Irish Guards Group will attack and seize Valkenswaard in preparation for tomorrow's XXX Corps assault on Eindhoven. 3 rifle companies of 3/Irish Guards, 3 squadrons of 2/Irish Guards (approx grand total of 15 Shermans due to damaged and KO'd vehicles), 1 troop of Recce- Irish Guards (3 Stuarts) and the 25 pounders of the 55th Field Artillery Battery (8 guns). The Canadian "Tiffies" of No. 129 and No. 143 Squadron (4 planes each) will form "cab ranks" and signal your ALO when they come on station...also you have the air recon boys from RAF 662 Squadron. As reinforcements, XXX Corps has allocated 1 additional battery of 25 pounders (8 guns) from the 4th Royal Irish Horse Artillery as well as 23rd Canadian Field Co. and the 14th Field Squadron. Consult your PzC arrival schedule for the details. The Division Ordnance Shop is working hard to patch up a few shermans damaged in yesterday's battles and will dispatch them up with fresh crews as soon as available. Previous scouting forays indicate you are opposed by relatively low quality troops in prepared positions. Each one is a light company in strength with some Flak guns in support. One battery of Artillery typically support these 2nd rate blokes. One last thing...Air Recce and the Intel chaps have suggested Jerry may have a small panzer unit in Walre being held in reserve. Use standard tactical procedures to soften up the enemy with both direct and indirect fire. Conduct coordinated assaults as needed. Maintain lines of communication and supply. OCCUPY Valkenswaard: 30 points OTHER HEXES: CONSULT PzC map for points. DESTROY Enemy Units: as per the usual SOP Edited February 26, 2015 by nathangun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathangun Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Here are our opening moves. I started the turn with a aerial reconnaissance we've spotted some enemy troops dug in to the north-east and in the woods to the north of Valkenswaard. I moved units up the road and managed to get a squadron of Shermans across the river. Having spotted enemy blocking the way across the bridge, I ordered air strikes plus a artillery bombardment in preparation for an assault across the river. Units that will participate in the assault are: 1/3 Irish Guards 2/3/2 Irish Guards 1/3/2 Irish Guards All available air and artillery assets will support the attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Nathangun, Do you foresee an end-run to the right flank if things are too tough in the center or will you batter your way in directly? Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have spun off an AAR thread for the mini battle where the allies try to take the bridge: http://community.battlefront.com/topic/118582-allied-aar-trte-mini-battle-2-%E2%80%93-take-the-bridge/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 We should always have a nice chart in the first few posts to show the OOB. Here is what you have right now and then when you get the other units from XXX Corps, please update it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Photo Recce Spitfire provided this snapshot for the ops boys. We're still waiting to hear if the bridge was captured intact. Either way, you must get that road! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Chappy! Cancel that hot date for Friday night... I will have the Hex (1,7) Battle ready to roll in a few days. You have your set-up zone along the road and you get 1/3 of your forces at start and then 1/3 at 5 minutes and the final 1/3 at 10 minutes to simulate being stretched out a kilometer on that road. Battle will be 50 minutes long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChappyCanuck Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thank you sir! But the day I cancel a hot date for a computer game is the day when you can pull the plug on my life support system 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
