Scenario NiSi004

For the Axis the assembly points were bd. 22 hex 1008 and bd 15 hex 0802. These assembly points were picked so as to be almost certain that no Allied AA battery would be near the DZ.

The drop was on time and split between the two Dzs. Many units landed out of the Dz but none scattered off board. There were many demoralizaitons and disruptions but amazingly no step losses. Slowly but surely the Axis come together to attacked their objectives. The Allies managed to blow two objective refineries but the Axis captured the third and garrisoned it well. This was all accomplished by 1600. At the airfield one end of the field was contested in assault. The other hex of the airfield had only the flak battery defending.

The Axis mobile force consisted of the armored car platoon and platoons of Infantry mounted on trucks. Because of there being no road link between the refineries by the time the reinforcements arrived the last refinery hex was captured by the Allies. (hex 0804) The reinforcements would still be vastly outnumbered so they reversed course back to the airfield.

The airfield fell at 16:15. by 17:45 all opposition was eliminated or neutralized. A last minute assault on a refinery at hex 0804 on bd 20 by the Allies was beaten back with loss.

Meanwhile back at the at the airfield the Axis had managed to push athe Allies back to the treeline on the southside of bd 12, well away from teh airfield. The Allied battey position on bd 12, hex 0303 was never silenced all during the scenario. It provided support the both the airfield postion and the 3 refineries. Rating 3.
