#8 needs to get into the woods for at least this next turn so that my boys can get their heads on straight after seeing their commander get blown to bits.

I think #7 should flank to the left (north?) towards blade6119 and engage the T-34. Don't hesitate with any thoughts, especially Calis and Blade6119.

Calis, I think it would be very beneficial if your men could take out the infantry and any AT guns they might possess. Or dismount your mortar team and start firing on their position.

Couple bits to add:

As an assault gun, the Stug has some armor-piercing rounds available, but it is not a tank or tank-hunter. It's more of a "blast things" AFV. Anyway, it's a plus/minus thing with engaging the T-34(?): the plus being an additional gun to bear on the enemy tank, the minus being that this is not an ideal role for the Stug. Plus, SirFozzie's Pz-IVds are coming up the rise behind you.

The AT gun might be a juicier target for the Stug, with its high explosive rounds. You could maybe use the trees to shield yourself from the T-34(?).

Or perhaps a right hook behind the enemy infantry would be cool? There is a T-26(?) back there, possibly KIA.

Also, Calis' mortar is already dismounted, in the woods just to the right of Stug #8.

You do have a few smoke rounds available.

I'll have those overhead images up tonight, but you may want to dismount your infantry or go farther east before cutting south. The halftrack was supposed to advance farther, but backed off when it spotted the tank. I think the enemy tank is pre-occupied with the other halftracks and/or the Panzerjager. Plus the Pz-IIIhs are about to pop out in his front.

IMPORTANT NEWS:
I will be out of town all of next week (Sun-Fri), and so the dynasty will be on hold. Also, Tasan is upgrading his server so all of the pics will be temporarily unavailable as of Saturday afternoon. You can always cut and paste them to your own computer if you want something to refer to. Try to discuss the tactical situation amongst yourselves and hammer out a coordinated effort now that we know some of the Russian deployment.

= = = = =

RealDeal:
Yes, spotting is always a good thing. Your pioneers will need to get close in, but they do pack a wallop with satchel charges (bundles of explosives) and flame-throwers. Keep your halftracks shielded by trees and you've got a decent wooded approach route.

= = = = =

They should be up soon, and then available until Saturday afternoon. I went ahead and posted them to maximize the available viewing time, but they are (obviously) not uploaded yet.

I'm pretty sure I did them right this time, though...

Is that infantry in range of my PzIVs? If so, lob some HE at them, and contact the nearest mortar to put some rounds on them too. Last thing I need is an anti-tank round.

Yup, your lead tank already started hammering them, and the halftrack(s) have added some MG fire as well.

Assuming that #2 has plenty of targets and isn't under heavy fire, let's acquire a new target and let 'er fly.

As for #1, are there targets in range/view? If so, we'll start pumping away, but if we need to move up to get to a better firing position and to pick up a target, that'll be the plan.

Okay good. If we can get them to scatter/give up/destroyed, then continue on to the field. I want one PzIV to cut left between the two little groves on the left side of the field looking into the flank of the infantry up that way, while the other IV swings a bit further and looks out across that lake back there.

Well, you knocked out that original T-26 and the others are farther north along that low ridge. I'll have to test the LOS (line-of-sight) to see if you have anything visible over there. There's also the potential of the armor at the eastern edge of the road, but you have no shot on them at present.

Have to see what DataKing has in mind for our boys now that things have heated up.

Depending on what other folks are doing, I might try to rush the infantry in the woods there. I have a feeling they actually don't have much of a presence in that general area, and if we can nab control of it quick, we'll be in good shape to move onto the victory points. As long as we're rotating so we have covering fire for my boys moving forward, I think we'd be in good shape.

Or we could hold up and start lobbing all sorts of goodies into the woods there to cleanse out any resistance and then charge in. I think speed would be our friend though.

Calis - I can move stug #8 to your current location behind the trees and lob some smoke shots into the open area East of our position so that you can make a run at their infantry.

#7 is still a dilemma for me. I'm in the open with no cover, but do I have a chance of taking anybody out with a high impact shot, WSU?

The crew of Stug #8 is "shocked" so I'm not sure if I can give them orders or not (if I can, I will, but they may just be dazed and confused for a turn).

Actually, Stug #7 has a good hull down spot that I wouldn't give up. The T-34(?) is engaging you, but given the hull down and your low profile I'm hoping you can survive it while either you or the Pz-IIIhs take out the Russian. The problem with moving anywhere is that you'd either have to back down the slope aways, or present a flank shot to someone while you redeploy.

I'd probably stick and keep the fire on the T-34(?).

With that intel about #7, I will stay in my hull down spot and continue to fire on the T-34. As for #8, I'd like to try what I detailed in the previous post. And if Calis does not want smoke cover than obviously don't fire any.

Just and an FYI, the pictures are going off-line for a little while. I'm performing a system upgrade on the server. I hope to have them back up in a little while, but no guarentees.

I will be out of town all of this week (Sun-Fri), and so the dynasty will be on hold. Try to discuss the tactical situation amongst yourselves and hammer out a coordinated effort now that we know some of the Russian deployment.

See you soon!

Hey guys, I'm back in town and I'll try to get the next turn up and running soon.

In the meantime, I figured this might be a good opportunity to take stock of the dynasty and see where we're at. I'd like to get some feedback on things so far. What do you like about the dynasty? What areas need improvement? Any other suggestions, comments, or questions?

Even if you have no comments, please sound off to let me know you are still intererested in being involved.

THANKS!

EX-CELLENT!

Report to the two Pz-IIIhs on the north (left) flank, formerly commanded by pskov.

These two tanks have a key role, together with Travis' panzerjagers as the only anti-armor punch we've got up north. Your tanks are emerging from scattered trees with the Russian armor on the low ridge to your immediate front. I'd recommend coordinating an advance with Travis and the pioneers in their halftracks (RealDeal, GoldenEagle, Qwikshot).

Feel free to ask any questions, and welcome aboard.
