Hell On Earth - Day 1

Post by Perturabo »

Axis tries to capture Ouren. Allies try to do the same.

1. Force composition:
Both sides have devoted similar forces - a single Army.

Army:
-Line Corps
--Line Division
---Line Regiment
---Line Regiment
---Line Regiment
---Divisional Artillery Regiment
--Line Division
--Line Division
--Corps Artillery Regiment
-Line Corps
-Army Artillery Regiment
-Army Artillery Regiment

2. Plans. I plan to establish form a defence line along the river with one corps and keep divisions of the second corps in reserve. Artillery regiments are moved forward into firing positions.

Initial orders.

3. Day 1 of the battle.
Image
First contact with enemy units is made at 10:10.

Image
At 11:00 the artillery regiments are on firing positions. They are ordered to fire interdiction missions against spotted enemy units in order to give my two line corps time to deploy and dig in.

Image
After routing the closest enemy company with high rate of fire barrage, one of army artillery regiments is assigned to fire at enemy units crossing fortification lines on road from Leidenoom to Lutzkampen. This point seems to be one of the favoured routes of the enemy and becomes a target of constant slow interdiction fire by one of army artillery regiments.
Corps artillery regiments fire against spotted units in other places.

Image
My infantry south of Lieler becomes a target of enemy artillery fires. They aren't very strong but last for hours.
Meanwhile, road near Sevenig - another favoured enemy route becomes another target of constant interdiction fires, usually fired by one of my corps artillery regiments.
Sporadic one company enemy incursions on my side of the river get beaten off with high rate of fire barrages by one of corps artillery regiments.
At 20:55 one of enemy battalions is routed near Sevenig.

Image
At 22:29 I became aware that the northern division of the first line corps will not manage to secure the shore before going to rest. I order two artillery regiments to move back as they are too far forward.

Situation at the end of day 1.

I note you have 418 units selected and that is just on one side. DO I assume correct and there are another 400 units on the other side? How does the game play, speed wise?
