Allied AAR: TRtE Mini Battle 1 - Lost Eagles


Recommended Posts

SUPPLEMENTAL ALLIED BRIEFING FOR CMPZC EINDHOVEN MINI BATTLE 1 "LOST EAGLES"
 
It is 0853, you are Lieutenant "Buck" Dunning of the 506th PIR. As described previously, your "V" of C-47's was bracketed by heavy FlaK as it approached Eindhoven....
 
SGT Guarnere: "BUCK!!....BUCK!!..."
 
You unbuckle your parachute harness and see Sgt Guarnere making the hand motion for rapid movement EAST off of your DZ as he runs towards you in a low crouched posture.
 
SGT Guarnere: <slightly out of breath> "Lieutenant Dunning..as I wuz coming down...I saw German troops on the road to the west...and some of our boys over....in that field to the east of us....I recommend...sir...that we skedaddle outta here!"
 
BUCK: "I am in full agreement SGT Guarnere!"
 
 
^
Proceed off of DZ Green and move to DZ Red. Check around the discarded parachutes (mod by juju) for injured troopers, render aid and recover any available items.
There may also be a drop cannister in the area...
^
To simulate the more lengthy rendering of first aid to troopers, set-up in the "aid station" house and at 0915 a "walking wounded" paratrooper will arrive there signifying he is splinted/bandaged and ready to move off the battlefield. 
 
Another trooper who came down in a separate area will arrive at the east map edge at 0915-0920 to point the way out. Carefully read his instructions and reload the turn if necessary to see what he says.
 
Exit the map by 0920-0925. <5 minute variable time, it will be a close call...>
 
Here's the first aid station.

Edit: I went to make a second post but I could only load an image of 2.35KB in size, what's with that ?

Here's how things look when my troops unharness.
 
Turn 28-24

I give orders to the squad on the right flank and the HQ unit to move over to the left flank in bounds.
As they draw for breath Lt Dunning's HQ section gets fired on from enemy troops from behind.

The radio operator gets hit, but there's no chance to administer first aid as Lt Dunning and his section are pinned, they must make a run for it.

Two more enemy squads appear to heap on the pressure.

...The enemy throw smoke grenades, perhaps trying to out flank Lt Dunning and Corporal Jones....
