Battle of Barenton
KG Schmidt / 275th vs the 3/120th Infantry /30th Division.
A Defensive battle for a change and with good equipment to boot Panzer IVH's and a 8.8 Flak gun against their Shermans this is going to be fun.
My Set Up:
The Enemy Set Up:
The Map and Deployment of my troops:
Seems the Americans can either choose to divide their forces on both entry points and attack me from both sides or focus all their force into one entry point and try to break my defenses.
Battle starts and immediatly we spot enemy infantry and the MG's fire upon them.
Using a flare I light up the area where the Enemy is moving through and they're revealed to my troops and they open fire.
Aha...one of the Shermans let's see if it's stupid enough to head South so it ends up in one of my Panzer IV's line of sight.
While the Sherman remained where it was spotted for the time beeing my MG's managed to mow down some of the enemy troops nearby.
Meanwhile at the sound entry point we noticed no activity so send out some of my troops to capture to point and then link back up North West to strenghten the Defenses.
The Sherman moved South, Panzer IV aims and...
One down one more to go but I already notice most of the Enemy troops are pulling back as they know they've got no way to go without being fire upon by my troops.
I relocated my 2nd Panzer IV to the North and homed in on their location with infantry supporting the Panzer IV's the 2nd Sherman showed itself and when it came in reach of one of my Panzer IV's it was promptly delt with and before I could take another screenshot of the finished of Sherman the enemy routed from the field.
