Mr_G vs Gloriesofold : Assault scenario

[Mr_G]

This is it. The Allies will try to break into an Axis defended outpost!! :D

Gloriesofold chose to be the attacker and I chose to play Axis.

You roll for the map Glory? One of the 6 standard maps...

[gloriesofold]

What point spread?

[Mr_G]

80 points for defender and 120 points for attacker.

[Mr_G]

See Advanced rules page 27-28 for details.

[gloriesofold]

Rolls d6...6! tiger Heaven again! I'm cursed!

[gloriesofold]

1 minute must get things in order...

[Mr_G]

Ok. Do you know how to number hexes Glory? For example, the Baker/Able side will be the lettered side and the Baker/Charlie side will be the nomber side. Starting at the outermnost corner of Able map. For example, for the Tiger heaven map in D-1, E-2 and E-3 there are hills...

[gloriesofold]

Yes,got it,but feel free to run a couple more tests!

[gloriesofold]

g6 = water, j2 city

[Mr_G]

g6 = water, j2 city

That's correct.

[Mr_G]

I've chosen to set up on the Baker/Able side of the map.

[gloriesofold]

Roger that! ready for army list?

[Mr_G]

Defender sets up first, so if you want to change your setup, that's fine by me.

[Mr_G]

Sorry, type-o in setup:
the 2 pak 38 should be in K-4, not in K-2
The rest is ok.

[gloriesofold]

No, I'll play as is! Poor crusaders... another victim of poor recon!

[Mr_G]

Kinda was hoping you'd take more infantry... :( it's ok though, It'll be a tough battle for me :)

[Mr_G]

Ok!! Let's get things rolling!!

Roll for initiative that is...

(4+2+2=8)

[gloriesofold]

I'll change! Its already steup, but if you dont mind the wait, I'll make a more balanced army!

[Mr_G]

I don't mind battling all tanks.

pak38 in h1 (disrupted) that fired on stuart h5 missed! Starting combat move.

[Mr_G]

No he did not. I counted the -1 on each die (making the real dice 6/5/5/5/4/4/1/2)

In fact, it was supposed to shoot 9 dice, not 8. I forgot 1 die.

[Mr_G]

Would you like it more if I did not factor in all the modifiers when I post? Just the actual dice?

I don't mind either way :)
