FoW battle report!
So here is my first post in this blog it is a battle report of a Flames of War game i played with a friend at my local gaming club :)
It was a cold september morning near the Lorraine area. And a Company from the 4th Canadian armoured Division had been stationed in a village not far from the front. They where having a brake and prepairing their tanks for winter by painting winter camo on them.
They quickly started to move up to deal with the german threat but 2 tanks got stuck in the mud when
they where going to go through a forrest.
So the 3 remaining shermans could not do anything against the 2 very dangerous Tiger 1E tanks.
So now the germans started acting and shooting at the Canadians. The 2 Jagdpanthers opened fire but failed to hit anything.
The news of the German attack had reached the HQ of the Armoured divison and the General sent a squadron of typhoons to aid the out guned armoured company. The 2 typhoons that entered the battlefield spotted a jagdpanther and opened fire but missing everything.
Then The jagdpanthers had a go at the Shermans guarding the halftruck with the secret recipe for sauerkraut and hit three of them which resulted in 3 casualties for the canadaians.
The one remaining sherman (the platoon commander ) opened his hatch and wondered what have happened and saw his dead comrades so he found no meaning is staying so he pulled back too the HQ(he failed morale check)
Now that the jagdpanthers had eliminated the biggest threat near the church they decided to advance across the plowed field in the center of the battlefield.
The Tigers saw their comrades move up so they decided to do the same but when one of the Tigers where on his way out of the woods he got stuck in the mud, not even it's wide traks could stop the heavy tank from getting loose so it was stuck.
The typhoons had been circeling above to find a gap between the clouds and when it finally was one they dove towards the jagdpanthers once again but failing to hit this time also. instead they where close too hitting the local onion seller.
They dicided too go for another pass but this time it was so poor sight that they did not even see the germans.
Finally after 1 hour stuck in the mud the firefly got loose and moved up for a shot at the tiger that actually hit it and penetrate the armour but did not even scare the crew enough too make them bail out.
Now the jagdpanthers saw something moving behind the church and decided to fire at it and scored 1 hit but did not manage to hit anything important but it scared the life out of the crew though...
The Tiger over at the german left flank now had spotted the firefly and opened fire and blowing it up!
The 4 Akilles tank-destroyers now moved up because they where tired of the RAF missing so they thought they could handle it themselves so 2 of them lined up to shoot at the jagdpanthers and 2 on the Tigers but ofcourse with no succses .......
The jagdpanthers now opened fire against the remaining stuarts that they could see and they blew up both.
The Tigers now dicided to open fire at the Akilles tanks and blew 2 of them up.
The Akilles that was aimed towards the tiger did nothing but the akilles on that was aimed towards the jagdpanthers did manage to penetrate the light side armour of the jagdpanther but only managed to scare the crew enough for them to bail out.
While the jagdpanther crew where busy getting back into their tank the last lonley little stuart decided that it was time to become a war hero and moved up to take a shot in the side of the monstreous tank hunter. But once again the canadians where not good enough to do any harm.
The jagdpanther had moved up to take out the company comander which ofcourse they succeded with and the commander went up in a huge ball of fire.
The typhoon squadron now had given up on trying to destroy the jagdpanthers so they decided to target the tiger in the open unknowing of the dangerous trap the germans had laid for them. The germans pulled the cammo net of their AA guns and took out the 2 incoming airplanes without a problem.
The 2 jagdpanthers now moved up to finish the stuart off went up from 2 different directions and fired so that the small tank went up in a huge explosion.
The Canadians by the time they heard about losing their left flank pulled out of the battlefeild leaving the germans to take controll over the area!
It was a Hard and bloody battle for the Canadians but this just gave them a bloody tooth and they want revenge soon!
Hope you enyojed the long post and see you next time!
