Overview:

"Lezongar Stronghold" - After the surrender of the Brest fortress on September 18, 1944, General Hodge’s army corps finished their push through Britanny by eliminating the last pockets of German resistance. To the west of Quimper, the Lezongar stronghold, nearly 300 Germans, were encircled by French partisans. Task Force A under the command of General Earnest bolstered the encirclement. There was no chance the Germans would surrender to the “Terroristen” and, even if facing the Americans, the will to fight in the autumn of ’44 was still strong in the Atlantic pockets.
Attacker: American / Partisan (FFI) (159th Engineer Battalion/6th Tank Destroyer Group/FFI: 8th Quimper Company and other Breton Companies)
Defender: German (898th Infantry Regiment, 343rd Infantry Division and ile de Sein and Point du Raz Garrisons)

2023-01-29(D) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. German winDon't bother with this one. I put the pillboxes in hexes FF9 (surrounded by wire, mines, entrenchments, the AT Gun, and my best squads) and L10 (one wire and three entrenchments). My opponent went hard for L10. He called it during turn 6(of 8) when I broke his FT toting leader on a tank trying to reposition it for a last ditch try for the FF9 pillbox. He still hadn't taken the L10 pillbox but had two Free French (partisan) squads on it trying to take out the lone squad and wounded leader in there. Not one of his infantry even came within LOS of the three hex EE9 woods cluster. With two turns left, there was no way he was going to be able to dislodge the men there.

To have any chance, I think the Free French need to go after one pillbox while the Americans go after the other. Even so, having to traverse basically two boards, and a lot of open ground, takes a lot of time - and time is the problem. I put out some "spare" conscript HS and a couple of conscript squads forward and unsupported just to delay the infantry even by one turn. It worked and I even lucked out and took out a tank with a PF. With a crummy ELR of 2 and a six morale, I FPF all of them if anything got PB. Yeah, they usually broke and disrupted, but I did break a few units and that's what they were there for. It was better to do that instead of allowing them to get fired at, disrupt, and have nothing to show for it.

Anyway, pretty much a dud scenario. Currently there are no Allied wins on this forum and ROAR. I totally see why.

Skip.
