RE: The Struggle For A Commission: The Diary
The 3rd venture in this diary began today and it was the face to face epic that is Hell's Fury III from tank battles, the 5th biggest battle in PG's library !
Only 5 turns were completed today, but what with setting up and the logistical strain that is entering and beginning a scenario, we fully expect the next session to realise a higher amount of completed turns in following sessions.
In the opening 5 moves, a rather frightening amount of Soviet Guards led the attack on the five towns defended by the German forces. I'm sure Wayne will chime in, but his Guards are backed up with a large amount of everything else. OBA, tanks, RKKA, Rockets and all sorts. His problem is getting 'em all on in as few activations as possible.
Today, the fight has centred around the small town of Nikotovo. The Germans here have been holding up the attack reasonably enough, but now the Guards are outside thegates. Most of the 10 or so platoons are disrupted or demoralised, but two are in good order. The germans have a StGIII here that has held off the Russian armour, The rest of the battlefield is moving slowly so far.
The Russians have suffered a few losses (around 8 steps) and the Germans 1 step so far. Result prediction is a simple 50-50 at present as it is far too early to predict anything else.
