Brazen Chariots Play Continues from HERE
Turn 3
7th Armoured Activates.
6 RTR & 7 Hussar & then 2RTR and 2 air strikes pummel the Italian elite Ariete division. They quickly chew their way through units!
Eliminating a Bn, and grinding on everything else.. ouch.
15th Panzer Moves into action. They commit to the Eastern Portion of the map. Hoping to take out the armor threat and bloody the Kiwis before the South Africans and British Armour can relieve Tobruk.
Fails to be effective…in 4 words or less. We mess up our activation sequencing our move sequencing and having a two week break from the game has got me foggy on best practices. The other thing here is we ran 2 fire missions as mandatory versus the ONE. Which meant I could have then gone for a dropping of support and assaulted. – Know your rules!
We also make a minor error in that at least one engagement must be executed. This turn we were playing All actions must be engagements. So no Barrage etc this errors was expensive for the not so smart Germans.
21st Panzer Chases Support Group
They effectively dump on them with fire actions and overruns.
They are pretty effective and wipe out the remaining units. In their 2nd activation they swing North and attack 22nd Armour.
The 22nd Armoured Move up along a primary access road to pressure Pavia. Will they engage and release Pavia? Man that would be nice!
The Balance of the 21st of Nov will be in the next post.
