So I called for a short session this weekend and we only got through 2 bottles of wine (Daou 2018 cab and Wyncroft Shou blend) and we finished both turn 6s.
In the draw he continues to get lucky. The disadvantage of playing only once a week is he sits at home reading the rulebook and forum to find ways to screw me...
Rolling ANOTHER 1,1 in CC to get ANOTHER 8-1 at the point of the sword is how he rolls too...
He also found some forum discussion saying his guys I trapped against the cliff can bypass the woods because the cliff artwork doesn't matter! Thanks Klas!!
My expensive 150OBA got one harassing fire mission down, didn't really do anything and then I failed the next draw and he broke my observer. the mmg stack at the front is 3 squads all with mgs who advanced to that location INSIDE the OBA w/ no bad affects AT ALL...
I did have one "equal" spate of good rolls over here and got all of a PTC for it. Davy Crockett with one of my 412 inf guns over here shoots at infantry, 1,1 (no crit), NE, 1,2, NE, 2,1 PTC... than miss...
He has at least 35-40 squads over here and I have nothing of any weight to stop them... not sure that night is going to help at all.
At the entrance to the draw we see most everyone has crossed. My lone plane kept people from crossing the bridge or building another but my juicy target was taken away because he read that he could shoot smoke ONTO a pontoon bridge... plane ended up doing nothing but being a threat. I had 2 inf guns on the ridge they both survived and missed w/o rate again... and smoke is making them not too likely to hit anything of importance. but at this point I would settle for hitting the ACs on my side of the river.
Under the trench I grabbed my long abandoned 25LL with a 227
not sure how that shot will be but I'm out of options. I don't htink anyone is climbing here and exiting for serious points. So let's see what we can kill before we die.
And a quick photo of the forgotten front, you can just make out my long distance 25LL that broke on an IF shot I took just because... he was hitting most what he shot but the penetration drops real quick for these guys down here. The other thing of note is my 8-1, hmgx2 finally made an appearance to get into position for night, took a shot at a truck with pontoons and promptly rolled an 11 to break one of them. they are under the trench at the point of the cliff. Hopefully he can cover any new bridge he wants to throw up over here. the real battle is too far away for them I think.
