fabishdFGM Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Phil Sorry for all the clarifying questions. What do you mean by delay in the recon battle? There will not be any artillery fire support per the card. The artillery fire support will come but will take longer than normal (ie if normal is 4 minutes for fire request card played now means it will take 8 minutes). I am only trying to set commanders expectations for the planned artillery support. Thank you for your patience. Doug I guess if I read the card correctly. I can answer my own question (30 minutes). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabishdFGM Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) mjkerner You will get direct fire support for the battle but it will not be available until after 30 minutes. Your FOs need to make up for my staff's incompetence. Good hunting. Edited September 9, 2015 by fabishdFGM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 No problem ever Doug! Lots of moving parts.... So, the Recon battle is already rolling........and within 24 hours the Panzer Battle will be in progress. Then we get to crack open a couple cold brews and watch the action! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabishdFGM Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 UNIT LEADERS: Remember each can only be used once, maybe twice at my discretion. Let me know ASAP if you want any "sprinkled in the soup"....! Oberst Heinrich BongartzBongartz is the protege of Feld Marshall Von Manstein, legendary among the men of the 3rd Panzer Korps. His operational and tactical prowess instills confidence in his soldiers, as he leads them from victory to victory while keeping casualties to a minimum.Hauptmann Ulrich NeckelFrom early in the war, Neckel demonstrated a natural instinct for panzer warfare. Having reached ace status while a feldwebel commanding a platoon of PzIV, Neckel was promoted to Lieutenant mid war, eventually heading up an armoured company. Neckel has a reputation for keeping a cool head even when under intense pressure....his men call him "Der Eskimo".Stabsfeldwebel Werner Preuss A veteran from the very start of Barbarossa, holder of the Knight's Cross, his coolness under fire and infantry combat expertise inspires his troops to achieve beyond their normal limits. Phil I am not planning to use any of these cards this turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 mjkerner is crushing the enemy with an aggressive forward push in a classic pincers move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 fenthedog shrugs off some early tank losses and rams an armored fist into the thin Soviet defenses. Up in the northeast corner, he is swinging some mechanized units to apparently come from behind on the enemy's right flank. The Soviet commander has moved one of his few T-34's up the road to counter the move. Stay tuned! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabishdFGM Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Phil Thank you for the pictures. It appears I might have guessed correctly on where to counterattack to gain some maneuver room. It also looks like the commanders are doing a good job of closing with and destroying the enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabishdFGM Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Phil In the near future, no. Currently my time is spent on this campaign and the information for it and The Last Stand Campaign on FGM. I do not even have time to play against the AI. This past weekend my two grandchildren dropped by somewhat unexpectedly and time flies when they are around. I believe from what my wife is telling me that the grandkids and their mother (daughter) have a standing open invitation to drop by for the next 8 weeks because my son-in-law is working most of these next Saturdays as the High School Marching Band director and has competitions for the next 8 weeks. My wife and I get to keep everyone sane and not kill one another . Maybe in the future, Doug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Fashid and Phil: Thanks for putting up the pic, Phil. I was going to do so, but first need to clean out my Photobucket, and I was saving an AAR for the next battle in the Eindhoven Campaign. Anyhoo, it looks like the Russian recon force was completely wiped out. I had a few infantry losses, the Puma took two anti-tank rifle hits, with one crewman hit (but no damage to the machine), and one A/C is stuck in the river/stream. The worst news, though, is that in his rush to stop the Russkies from exiting the map, some Commies that decided not to run lobbed a grenade inside Abt. Kommandant Kerner's HT, with all on board being hit! I'm certain it's only a flesh wound for Kerner, though but still.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Doug, Yes, you will have air support at 0800. Historically the Luftwaffe made a tremendous showing at this time and place. I will give you a full list later tonight from home. Hey Mark, Yes, I saw that happen. I didn't know "you" were in there. A ballsy move that got your balls blown off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Phil and Doug, the victory screen is up (File #40). It was a draw?!? Did I miss a victory condition of some sort in the briefing? Or was it due to the loss of the unit commander? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi Mark,These operation layer tactical battles do not have any real points assigned for that screen to make sense.In fact, I tried to shut down the game before you could see it as it then reveals all about the enemy and can chip away fog of war.I guess I was not fast enough!You did a great job and were victorious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Your recon force only lost 8 men and NO VEHICLES were lost! Great job.Oh, there is a rule that if your named player on the map gets killed, then you can no longer play a battle....Well, in a perfect world with lots of players wanting to participate, well then maybe I would enforce that rule. Or a one battle penalty or something reasonable...But we hardly get any dedicated players for these operations. Just a handful of you great guys.So, Mark...you will get another battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
