DAY 1 TURN 2

729th RGT / 709th INF DIV vs 507th RGT / 82nd AB DIV

Amfreville

(see post #13 for the starting positions on this one)

I'm tired and encoding the videos that I shot from the match takes too long, so you'll have to go with written AAR on this one.

I decided not to hold on to the church that I captured on the last match, instead I went with similar plan as the last time, box Arc in and have him attack.

I didn't take any AT guns with me this time, could come in handy when I meet his tanks rolling out from the beaches later on in the campaign.

We made contact immediately in both South and North. South had maybe 3-4 squads near the intersection, my Marder there kept them at bay, but lost one MG42 squad sadly.

In North, after the initial contact with Arc's engineers I assaulted the northern town with a squad of grenadiers, also fought back Arc when he tried to capture the church and manned it in return. Lost quite a few men during the assaults, but IIRC, the MG42 squad I lost in South was the only fully KIA squad from my side.

After the first few assaults from both sides, it became more of an trench war in North, with both sides shooting at eachother from their positions. MG42s drew the longest straw on it, sweeping the buildings Arc was positioned in, killing quite a few of his guys.

South sector was rather uneventful, Arc was on the east side of the village, I was in west. I tried to approach his SE flag with a few squads from North but decided to cancel it so to not lose any men trying to take it.

My game crashed as the match ended, but the forward observers reported seeing the allies running like puny wabbits; Total victory for the germans.
