Episode V THE FATHERLAND STRIKES BACK It is a dark time for the Allies. Although the Atlantic Wall has been destroyed Axis troops have driven the Allied forces from their landing zones and pursued them across Holland. Evading the dreaded Axis Army, a group of freedom fighters led by Tom has established a new supply cache in the remote low-lands of LZ-Z. The evil lord Kevin obsessed with finding young Tom, has dispatched thousands of reconnaissance teams into the far reaches of Holland....
Tom didn't have time to post the map, so here's the situation: The 82nd is all be destroyed, with 2 out of supply paratrooper units holding one of the LZs. The 101st has taken casualties and is spread so thin it cannot function. The British paratroopers have stockpiled supplies, but have been met with an impenetrable wall of Axis forces. The main army has been delayed so long that they have hardly left their supply depots, securing only the southernmost strip of the map. Forces that broke through the front line have been encircled and cut off from supply. Map to come...

And win or lose, I will be throwing my British Infantry into a hopeless assault on Arnhem any day now. The Map....sorry for the endless delays, Kevin has been on the ball, even if I haven't. Turn ends on September 2nd, and then we move into the final turn......lets see if the allies can avoid getting completely skunked

Last night a Canadian Rifle Company, with heavy armor and anti-tank support (inc/ 1 unit of Sherman Firestorm troops), stormed into Eindhoven. They drove out Shane's Grenadier Company and captured the town with a 5-2 victory, losing only hapless Sgt. Mcconaughey's Sherman Platoon to heavy MG fire. The Sherman Firestorm unit survived. Among the captured German forces was an extremely shell-shocked German forward observer who required a change of pants and no less than 3 shots of Kentucky whiskey to even become coherent.

The allies attacked up the road into Helmond Bridge. It was Tom against Jim. And a ton of artillery and AT guns weren't enough to kill 9 panthers. The allies lost 5-2 and failed to advance up the road linking into the glibderborne troops there.
Looks like Kevin and I are simulating 7 games come Friday, keep you all posted!
