A Night at Cheneux AAR

[aka_tom_w]

Spoiler ALERT......

But Last night my friend and I played "Night at Cheneux" and won with

71% (Allied Major Victory) as the Allies, it was our first time on that

scenario so it was Blind.

Don't read any further if you don't want to know spoiler info..

Anyway... A little AAR

In the final two minutes of the the scenario we ordered an Elite full

strength, (happy and healthy) Paratroop squad to close assault the

one remaining Panther that our Jackson's did not get. We ended up

with one imbolized Jackson and One Mobile without a main gun and

having ko'd one Panther we were in a stand off with his remaining

Panther. We fired rifles at it and it buttoned up then in the fog and in

the dark the Elite Paratroops single handidly (without even taking a

casuality) presumably crawled all over it (there were 10 of them) and in

the final minute with only rifles and a BAR kept hammering at it until it

came up as KO'd! (We aren't stupid, we did order them to sneak up

on it and attack it from the rear and it did not have any other german

infantry supporting it)

None of them were injured and my friend and I couldn't beleive it but

we were thrilled!

U.S. Para's Knock Out German Monster Tank (Panther) in the Fog at

night in Cheneux!

(Moral of the story, watch out for Elite Paratroops at night in the FOG,

they can be VERY deadly)

Now that was FUN!
