Aye, got 2 panzer divisions in the rear ready to rumble. Just need to hold Arc back long enough so I can get them to the front.

Let me guess...the Fuhrer has taken a sleeping pill and asked not to be disturbed?

Good luck, both of you.

Aye, not answering my calls.

DAY 1 TURN 1

La Fierre Causeway
I had an advantage on this map as I had 3 tanks and 2 guns. On top of that, Arc had pretty crappy deployment zones. (fire directions of my tanks and guns marked)

The first sight of the battle was in the southern sector where we immediately clashed, Arc had his AT gun there so I peppered it with mortar and destroyed it after a few rounds.

In the NW sector, Arclight assaulted southwards and tried to take hold off the church, which he did briefly, until I drove the tank forwards. With the support of the tank (which BTW was immobilised next to the church by something) my infantry got hold of the church, but not without casualties.

Arc still had lots of resistance up there.

On the southern sector, my two tanks had done their job and I started to capture the buildings and the bridge back. Again, not without casualties.

Last remaining pocket of Arc's resistance.

End result

On a side note I must say that Arc is putting up a good fight considering this is his first time playing CC.

That battle was a slaughter-house.

I'd pretty much given up on the SE in the first minutes. AT gun gone, so wasnt gonna keep the armor of the bridge, and assaulted from the S with half my guys dead before they could reach cover.

In the NW, I flanked E along the N hedgerow, setting up the mortar team that had spent their ammo close to the elongated building, and a platoon HQ just E of them. Morale finally broke when I decided to move them a bit more E and promtly got slaughtered as they took MG and rifle fire from multiple directions.

Next battle there will be interesting; only got that open field to deploy. But I has a plan... it will involve many casualties i'm afraid. Sorry boys.

Use the traditional tactics: Attack! Attack! Attack!

Never fails.

Well, sometimes...
