KANIUM 31aug24, Crossing the Aue (1985 cold war battle, part 4)


Recommended Posts

Continuation of the Attack at dawn scenario...found here:

 

Situation:

ENY:

 The Defensive actions of the enemy MechRgts gave OPFOR the chance to bring reenforcements and dig in along the Aue river.

We have at least one BN of motorized Infantry inside WIETZENDORF in heavy fortifications.

In the south, the BOG provides a natural obstacle that probaly has been reeforced. Enemy is overwatching this area with AT elements in platoon strenght.

In the north, one Infantry company(+) defends the AUE crossings.

 

Enemy intent is to fight a delay action in the forests east west of IETZENDORF and then use the Town itself and the river/bog to stop our attack long enough for reserves to arrive.

 

OWN:

Brig 32 keeps attacking east in other to take Munster and Unterlüß

PzGrenBN 321 und TankBN 324 have taken their Objectives near SOLTAU, and remain at 75% strenght, both BN are currently resupplying and will form the Brigade reserve.

 

PzGrenBN 322 will keep attacking in the North, PzBN 311 will attack south of WIETENDORF

 

In order to crack the defensive positions, the Brigade got the Reservists from JägerBN 156 attached

They clear the forest and bind the enemy BN at WIETZENDORF.

 

Mission: PzGrenBrig will destroy flanking toops north and south of WIETZENDORF IOT cut of the enemy defence there, and continue to attack EAST....

I'd like to change my phase 2 from B1 to E31.

Aint no way I can do an AI mech platoon, unless someone were to join me. @Nike-Ajax?

I'll be in the mech platoon too, so don't worry.

AFAIK KT, Wiglif, Snoggy, Mirzayev, You(?) and me...thats 6 Mechinf players...

 

 

@all: I'll update the manning list in  moments so the staffing becomes more obvious...
