Ineptitude! - CM:BN PBME AAR (Crécy vs. Dowly)

Crécy · 03-28-12, 03:00 PM

I demanded a rematch and so we started another game. This time I will be playing as US (which will be the first time). And, I refuse to lose...

Here's the OOB (congratz if you manage to actually see something...(Greyed out ones are unit's which I don't have)):

And here's my plan (which I didn't do with paint

(though the quality is as bad)):

B company will move into a defensive position near the objective area while A company acts as an attacking force. B company's job is to hold their ground and deny the enemy a chance to flank A company. I'm quite sure that Dowly brings his troops fast and hard from the right so I have to figure out a way to counter that effectively and then carry out an aggressive counter-attack.

Turns 1-2 (1:00:00-58:00)

A and B company along with D company (support) and pioneer platoon start to advance. After a minute and a half, enemy movement is spotted in the right side:

Part of me thinks that Dowly is going to set up a defensive positions along those hedgerows. However, I'm going to form into defensive position along the hedgerow which precedes the road, if he decides to attack. After I figure out what's Dowly up to, I have to adapt to the situation and adjust the original plan.

Crécy · 03-29-12, 04:14 AM

Turn 3 (58:00-57:00)

Engineers blast through a hedgerow.

Anti-tank gun moving into position.

Enemy infantry is spotted in the right flank.

B company spots something very, very bad...

Panther is going to cause some trouble as I have only bazookas and a single 57mm anti-tank gun to counter it. Luckily, hedgerows restricts panther's visibility and I might have a better chance to ambush it with a bazooka team.

My new plan:

I will leave two platoons from A company to defend the right flank in case of an attack. MGs and a mortar will provide support. I suspect that Dowly will have majority of his forces positioned to the right so I decided not to attack there.

B company will make a flanking move from the left along with one A company platoon. Plan is to be as quick as possible so I'll have a chance to catch Dowly off-guard.

Crécy · 03-30-12, 04:37 AM

Turn 4 (57:00-56:00)

Enemy contact!

A company's platoon, which will eventually support B company's flanking movement, makes contact with the enemy as well.

Dowly advances more boldly in the middle than I expected but enemy positions will be quickly overrun!

Crécy · 03-30-12, 07:47 AM

Turn 5 (56:00-55:00)

Right flank mg opens fire at spotted enemy infantry.

An enemy MG is spotted in the right. I called mortar fire to harass it.

Other news: B company is preparing to make the flanking move in the left while the supporting A company platoon tries to assault enemy position across the road which is preventing them to support the flanking move.

Crécy · 04-01-12, 07:16 AM

Turn 6 (55:00-54:00)

Pioneers blast through a hedgerow to open up a way to B company's men to get across that field.

More evilness is spotted.

Luckily I positioned my AT gun to overwatch that road. I just hope it has time to deploy before that Stug enters the road.

To be honest, that Stug is going to be a real problem for me. Dowly has at least two tanks, I've none. As pointed out before, I have barely anything to counter those tanks. Before I can make that planned flanking move, I definitely have to take out that Stug. But the positive thing is that I have probably more troops than Dowly because I don't have tanks when Dowly has two.

Turn 7 (54:00-53:00)

Sniper pesters mortar unit in the right.

B company taking casualties. Had to order B company to fall back due to those two tanks.

Right, that damn ferret has three tanks, at least. Tiger most likely sees my AT gun so I have to engage it. I highly doubt that it will even make a dent. Anyway, priority is to take those tanks out and overwhelm the enemy with my superior manpower.
