JTS/WDS Bulge 44 - Starter Scenario AAR Turn 6

-

Been offline busy but back again now. Here is turn 6 of the PC Bulge starter scenario. I have made great geographic progress, but as you will see there are so many US Inf Bns popping up. With only 6 Inf units myself, I am feeling really outnumbered. Also, only halfway thru the game and I have all the VP hexes except one. It will be a bear to capture but after I do am I supposed to go over to the defense and let all the US Inf run freely? Going to probably slow down the push for the last VP hex and see if I can grind down the US.

In the south/rear, the German's finished off the broken US Inf Bn and then assumed defensive positions around the VP hex Blejalf to see what the 2 US Inf Bns do. The Engineers moved up the road to the last major VM hex Schonberg to see what was on the road - a US Art Bn in travel mode. The Stug Bn moved into the woods to the NE of the VP hex to seal if off from reinforcements. Finally, the Hetzer's occupied the abandoned trenches on the main diagonal road to further sever US movement.


In the north, the 2 German Regiments seem to becoming seriously outnumbered. At this point, their goal is to keep all the US units engaged so the southern regiment can get into the US rear area and capture the VP hexes. Tall task at this point...


Finally, the US turn 6 response - some units disappeared into the rear. In the south, a US Inf Bn is probing towards Blejalf, and in the north the same probing towards  Roth. But apparently no change around the remaining VP Hex at Schonberg?


If the northern 2 German regiments can keep the bulk of the US Inf forces occupied, then hopefully the southern regiment can grind thru the US rear areas ultimately capturing Schonberg.

https://youtu.be/YucVqQS0qMY Bob and Mary started scanning and recording all the specimens. Carol focused on the numerous devices that appeared to be connected to many of the 'habitats.' It seemed they were providing power and possibly life support functions to the individual enclosures. Also, the space appeared to be filling with some sort of atmosphere although exact readings were ambiguous. Bob started using his neural scanner on some of the specimens. "They appear to be in some sort of stasis Captain," he reported. "Continue scanning and recording, also make sure you are sending your readings back to Sonny and the ship's computer." Bob replied, "aye, Skipper" and he and Mary began slowly moving along the edge of the space continuing their scanning. I wonder if this 'cube' is manned and has a crew Carol thought… Bob gave a gasp and then shifted his neural scanner to the opposite end of the space they were in. "Captain I am getti...

"Refueling complete, all tanks full, all refueling equipment secured" Sonny reported. "Very well, proceeding to the High Guard position, prepare to retrieve the drone," Carol said. After the ship was close to the Drone Bob said "retrieval initiated." After a few minutes, he added, "retrieval complete, all systems secured for transit." Carol answered, " Very well, course confirmed for Kotori Prime, breaking orbit." The first few days of the transit were uneventful. The crew finished their equipment checks in preparation for the upcoming Planetary survey. In their remaining time, they continued work on the backlog items (inoperable drone, wrong software version) while also manning the sensors in shifts. Carol even carved out a few hours one night for the crew to enjoy a recent holo-movie together. The crew seems to be slowly coming together she thought, even Sonny seemed to be more like his old self again. One day out from Kotori Prime, t...

CAPT Burnett arrives at the Scout Base before her crew to assume her command of the Intrepid and review the status of the ship. To Carol's surprise, the base commander is a relative from her home world who was on the other side of the controversy - so not a friend. CDR Carlin gives her an icy/strictly professional reception and she knows she will get no support from him. - Was this a coincidence or setup by others? Sonny arrives first and also gives her an icy response - and seems more withdrawn than usual. She had been told he was open to the assignment and had been told she was the Captain - now she wonders. - Was this a coincidence or setup by others? The rest of the crew arrives - Bob the Astrogator who was new to Carol, and Mary the Researcher who she had worked with some during the mission contacting the new alien species. Bob seemed solid and Mary was excited to be working w/Carol again. Before actually departing the basic spaceport, a Free Trader ship was seized and the...
