Initially, I had stack forward on the German left, but changed my mind and but pulled them back toward the centre. I think the Germans have plenty of time to react to any Allied push for the wooden buildings in the rear.<br /><br />I agree that a big priority is to mission kill Lee tanks asap. I used a light mortar to engage the Lee that invariably parks on a hill on the German right, and tried to DI another using a 9-1/5-4-8/ATR combo (7 or less on a HH during PFPh will do it). It's a nail biter until the German tanks arrive. However, the way the VC are written, it ain't over until it's over for the Germans. <br /><br />I like where you put the 40LL. I put mine in L9 first, then switched it to M13, where one of my light mortars was also positioned. I don't think the N0-O1 gap is a big a whole as it appears to be. The Lees cannot exit via this route before the German tanks arrive.<br /><br />Enjoy summer in Illinois! Winter is coming. ;-)Chris Doaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965145023794602433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260923292814862538.post-4224818995108524092017-06-09T07:52:59.614-05:002017-06-09T07:52:59.614-05:00It's a tough game to defend.

The terrain is a great ally of course and the AT Gun is very capable of taking out the Lees. My pictures are taken at different times during each turn. Sometimes, I take them after Advance Phase or even a bit later. So it's hard to pin point an exact Turn 2 movement phase picture. So, to answer your question, yes, you are seeing some lumping together of movements in pictures. I try to get the sequencing right, but sometimes I delete a bad picture or a picture that I feel doesn't advance the game narrative and that picture might have given you a clearer idea of a particular turn sequence. So editing does play a role as well.

If Patch had gone up the center, I think it would have gone better for me.<br />http://www.rindis.com/blog/4140<br /><br />By the way, during turn 2 you show a fair amount of movement crossing what should be a <i>cactus</i> hedge. Did you forget about that, or is it just lumping a couple moves together?Rindishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852616932376819460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260923292814862538.post-17612824347600006492017-06-08T07:47:51.802-05:002017-06-08T07:47:51.802-05:00Good thing I didn't do it.
