Part 119: Operation Mange Poutine: Inter-phase: Enemy Bombardment

Glad you're liking it!

To keep things moving I took it upon myself to wrap up the turn and send it to our opposition. Here's our enemy's artillery:

Inter-phase: Enemy Bombardment

10 different half-batteries saw fit to bombard us this turn. 6 of them focused their efforts on Sand Hill, but the rest were unashamed to shell passages between Green Ridge andSand Hill as wekk as Green Ridge and Grey Ridge.



The Americans began by dropping a mix of standard HE and DPICM cluster munitions on the low ledge jutting from behind Sand Hill.



The Chinese follow this with DPICM attacks were the Grey-Green passage exits.





But the short deviation from plastering Sand Hill is over for the moment as the Chinese bracket the Hill: 155mm howitzers hit the north and south summits of the hill while rockets hit the east and west faces of the hill. Damage doesn't appear to be strong; some significant deviations occured, I suspect. Casualties would likely been high if Chaos and I had kept the hill stocked with our troops.



The final strike was a pair of rocket barrages in the forest between Green Ridge and Sand Hill. Unfortunately, my Cobra scout car and scout team were annihilated, but we're fortunate that no others were lost despite some close strikes on the Canadian Bisons.



At least we get some good hits back with our Canadian 155s dishing out a little counter-battery fire.
