A crossroad just outside

(We played a Dust up mission in a Normandy crossroad. The attacker airborne infantry choose to deploy on the hills that dominated the countryside)

(101st had a 2 squads platoon, but they had attached 4 LMGs and 2 bazooka teams of the HQ, making a big platoon to defend the objectives)

"Capt. Hollenbeck of the Baker Company didn´t expect too much german opposition near Carentan. Some hills were perfect to control the countryside. The orders were to control the crossroad, so he sent some of his men in a roundabout to his right flank"







(Germans deploys 2 Fusilier platoons in the table, and the artillery in gun pits)

(The german artillery didn´t well through the battle, it only made one smoke screen to the U.S. mortars)

(The U.S. light anti-tank guns look for enemies in the dangerous wood)

("Apocalyse" Héctor was the German General of the 352 Infanteriedivision)


"Some of his men were exhausted, so they didn´t obey the orders to dug in"
(All the platoons in the hills dug in, except the rifle infantry, who failed 4 skills tests. In the 5th turn they finally dug in)








"He saw some germans running far away, and ordered mortars to fire"
(One of the fusilier platoons march to meet the reserves under U.S. mortar fire)

(Recce Jeeps arrive as reserves and try to kill the guns, but fail. Then they received fire from the infantry MGs and direct shoots from the artillery, who killed the last two!)



(The airborne sniper was a nasty headache to the infantry platoon)

(Siro awaits for reserves)

(The German infantry stands in front of the enemy. Only three teams of the both sides were less than 40cm. apart)

(The Super Sixth arrives!)

(The arrival of the U.S. reserves in the German flank. The artillery suffered 75mm fire from the shermans)

(The reserve infantry assaults the farm...)

(But is pinned down and shooted in the next turn. Only the command team survived)

(The german reserves finally reach the table)

(The fire of the StuG G didn´t hit the shermans, which with their assault captured the objective. In the bottom photo we see the Lt. Flannagan, who passed his sole survivor check. U.S. victory 5-2)

(Fraternitazion like this will be heavily punished by the high command)

"When Lt. Flannagan finally met Cpt. Hollenbeck, Hollenbeck said: Easy victory. One sergeant of the Baker had to hold the Lt. No one could hold the curses of his mouth)
