Fin perimeter Svante. Men ryssen har lång linje att hålla den dagen..

Russian & Partisan Raaco Box (13x A75 & 3x A78). Updated due to the Historical Ponyri module. Could still be more updated into a more dense counter sortiment, if needed. Perhaps a complete set of Lend-Lease AFVs will be released in the future. Note that the Partisans is sorted down in one A75 with red textil-tape.

The Germans in hot pursuit, and mop up most remaining Russians. movements are hindered by the stukas and rally points raked with Stuka-machineguns, in the end of the battle large gaps in the Soviet defense line is open and exploited, and the Germans spearheads seize another factory and gain a strong foothold across the street/open ground 100m wide. On the flanks, a few skirmishes happen, but a perimeter is now established west of the Chemist Shop and can be attacked from both the west and south directions the next day.

American forces lost two soldiers for each German soldiers lost, during combat. In Hollywood it is of course 20-1 in American favour. ...and in ASL about even 1-1 soldiers lost for each side, better than Hollywood but still.

ASL Info box (7x A75, 7x A78, 3x deep inserts) Updated Raaco box, due to the release of the Ponyri module. The Raaco Box also contains 22 dice, line of threads and 131 copied overlays stored either in the customized disc envelope or in the largest deep tray.

Pinsam ökning av min perimeter:-(

Jag har stått och stampat i tre dagar i fabrikerna. Det är som att trampa vatten...

Fabrikerna är så jäkla tunga att tömma på 426:or. Känns som att de aldrig tar slut..

Efter den 20:e var jag riktigt nöjd. Synd att den 21:a inte skulle gå lika bra..

Nu jävlar. Har haft ett år att planera min revanch, och dessutom en del balanser. Nu ska han få smaka!

A9.61 A9.61 indicates that an MG TH vs. an AFV must be “without any form of halved FP penalty imposed”, given Ordnance is never halved, does that imply the halved FP penalty should be considered as if the MG was firing on the IFT instead? E.g. can a MG TH attempt target a concealed AFV? On the IFT normally the FP would be halved, but as ordnance case K applies instead. Or if the MG is pinned is a TH allowed? A. Anything that would halve MG FP prohibits a MG TH attempt, e.g., in AFPh, vs “?”, pinned Infantry, etc.
