Ok, let's hope I didn't fuck up too badly.
So, on the Northern section Endemic unload the infantry in safe position, while Tindlri GLORIOUSLY charges forward.
In our mid, everyone takes position in cover and waits for further orders.
South is were we'll get all the action, I presume. If I didn't fuck up too only And gave me a precise location for smoke on mortars, so I'll prep fire for that location. And wait for orders to smoke.
Nothing happens north. After a minute, the mid tanks under And come under cannon fire, but we can't identify the enemy, just the location.
South, a tracked vehicle is identified in a dug-in position and Andnjord's T55 platoon quickly identifies and engages, blowing it up.
We still don't know what it was, but it's FIRST BLOOD. One of the T55s is damaged by aggressive cannon fire and the crew starts to panic, but the vehicle is still battle worthy.
Sadly, it doesn't last. Cannon fire from some unidentified source coming from mid destroys the damaged T55 from And's platoon and one of the SKOT from Moist's platoon. The squad manages to unload, but it has suffered some losses.
Enemy AT fire from center slacks off. They probably don't have identified more targets. We get a tracked vehicle in a dug in position at the entrance of the South village, it's a AMX-12 (a French-made IFV used in limited numbers by the Itas).
I didn't even know that this existed, seriously. "Veicolo Trasporto Truppa e da Combattimento", called in Italy AMX-12 because it can transport 12 people. Seriously.
In baguetteland it's called AMX-13 VCI and I seriously hope a frog comrade will dump some lore, I know jack shit about this one, could have sworn we used M113s until the end of time
Strange Fellow's T34s of GLORY are in position and are engaging merrily the IFVs without return fire. Maybe they don't have AT guns in that area?
At last some action north! Tindrli's T55Us identify a tracked something and quickly relay its position to the mid tanks. Soon focus fire will blow it up. I
hope.
South, the AMX blows up in the rain of Polish fire. It survived a staggering amount of shots tho, thanks to its dug-in position.
So, four minutes have elapsed, and most of the units are in the ordered positions. Let's give you an overall view for further orders:
Tindrli's T55s are still advancing, the terrain is shit. Endemic's troops have unloaded and are in cover, quiet and safe and ready.
On mid, we have suffered one loss but all the T55s from Andnjord's and Falksi's platoons are raining fire on the enemy vehicles, with adequate results.
Sqeecoo's SKOTs are waiting quietly, infantry onboard.
South a tad of a mess. Strange Fellow's T34 are happily dumping shells on the enemy unopposed, Vale's SKOTs are in position, and one squad has disembarked and got to cover when they spotted the AMX. Baud's T55s and Moist's SKOTs are in position, despite the loss of a vehicle and a handful of men.
And that's it, I guess. ORDERS FOR THE NEXT FEW MINUTES
