Turns 7-10 (54:00-50:00)
Nothing major happened. Left flank scouts took a few mortar rounds and small arms fire. Resulting in loss of one of the scouts. Heavy enemy movement is spotted on the right flank forests on the edge of the town.
Turn 11 (50:00-49:00)
Forward observers are spotted by the enemy and immediate mortar fire begins. After that I made a decision to prepare launching an attack on the right flank. Prior to that forward observers called in mortar strikes on the following locations:
The round circle is harassing fire as enemy mortars were spotted in the area. The line indicates the area where 120mm's will hit. ETA for bombardment 5-6mins.
Turns 12-13 (49:00-47:00)
As suspected, a few rounds hit near the left flank forests. I withdrew the only unit which still was positioned in the treeline. Now all left flank troops have fell back from the danger zone.
Turn 14 (47:00-46:00)
I brought two mortars from the left flank to provide support for the attacking troops on the right side.
Turn 15 (46:00-45:00)
Forests close to the edge of the city on the right side are full of US troops.
First rounds hit the ground.
Forward observers are pinned down by US troops.
Mortars on the right side are brought to position.
Mortars on the left are almost ready to kick some american butt.
