A dish served...HOT! I was able to get a little retribution today for the shellacking I took in Stalingrad last week. Curtis & I changed fronts and played WO31 MA DEUCE DELIVERS. It seemed as if my troops today had heeded my cry, "The beatings will continue until morale improves", as these Americans performed considerably better under more severe circumstances. With the brunt of the German attack falling upon my left flank, a studly HS shot up a few advancing Germans then after suffering the slings and arrows of the dispersion's cast in their general direction and rebuffed "visit" from Herman, proceeded to break or pin his Sqd/HMG, Sqd/MMG & Ldr stack on a 2 +2 shot. He continued to hold his position throughout the game forcing the German infantry to take a more central avenue of advance. Though my meat-chopper on my right flank seemingly failed to do a proper head-space and timing check for their .50's (malfing the guns after only KIA'ing the ldr of a flanking platoon in that sector), the actions of my M-10s and a BAZ tm on the left made up for his failure to do a proper PMCS (Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services) prior to the engagement.
The arrival of his King Kitty-Cats, did put the fear of God in my guys for a bit, but when his AL Kitty chose to make a run at my 9-2, Sqd/MMG, a sneaky LOS including a TCA change from an M-10 revealed he had chosen poorly; a 35TK -8 up the poop-shoot didn't turn out well for him (Hot time in the old town tonight! Yeah!) His wing-man thought better of it but took a 32TK -8 on his side from a "dummy" BAZ shot it didn't turn out well for them either). When a sqd went berserk and took a 8 down 4, the men in blue had seen enough and called it a day. My other "chopper" had yet to make an appearance & was in a position to possibly take at least a 24 down 2 shot on a Ldr, Sqd stack coupled by another shot from my 9-2 et. al.
It was a fast and furious playing (~3 hrs) and quite fun if at times somewhat scary for the Americans. Now if my luck will just hold until end of next weekend at Chicago for the ASL Open!
