will have to learn myself the value of the artillerys....

H Tower · May 10, 2004, 15:47

a little hard for you, there's so much open ground around you and the egyptians are always trying to advance, you have an environment born for tanks. The golan is an area born for artillery to rain death upon units slowed by the terrain.

Be sure to let Con and Arthedrain know about that. They have a shared thread where requests should be made here. http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...9&pagenumber=4

(But I see you've found it).

So aside from all the fury over the zion worker and transport, are there any other comments for my command?

After you use your arty to kill the two Egyptian arty's, I think the COS is going to transfer for them elsewhere.

Rasputin · May 11, 2004, 02:54

ok i used them this tirn so next turn the cos can have them....

Here's the results of the troops movements this month by the central front, 2 newly created Palmachs moved forward to Jenin, the Haifa regiment destroying an arab legion and a fanatic SW of Jenin. The 2 WW1 artillery in Nzareth moved south to the newly created fortress along with a machine gunner.

A machine gunner and palmach remain in Nazareth, the palmach can either move south to support the attack against Jenin or move east to reinforce the Golan or the river defense.

A WW1 artillery and WW2 artillery both moved closer to the siege of Jenin and are expected to arrive at the end of November and be ready for offensive action in December.

Build requests will be sent to the appropriate ministries shortly.

Excellent work.

I agree with our COS

REPORT
Home Front, November 1948
General Goldmann commanding

November reported little action on the Home Front, but the effectiveness of the railroad was proved in thwarting enemy raids into our territories, as a single Palmach Regt. was issued to deal with enemy forces approaching Netanyah, where skirmishing routed an Arab Legion, and a allowed the Palmach Regt. to speed north where enemy artillery prepared to bombard Tantura.

Along the Jordan, Palmach stationed in Beth Shean raided enemy artillery positions and destroyed a battery outside Aljun.

Kibbutznicks in Gesher were evacuated to Nazareth, and a Palmach from Nazareth was sent to garrison Gesher.

Meanwhile, the assault on Jenin is in its final preparations, with the arrival of two more batteries and two on the way to reinforce those already at the site.

The only request for economy is the purchase of WWII artillery for my front, to speed the fall of enemy cities, and the allocation of more Zion workers to continue expanding our rail lines, as quite soon we will have outrun our supply lines which will make supply and reinforcement a lot harder, and thus stunt our offensive capabilities.

REPORT
Home Front, December 1948
General Goldmann commanding

The assault on Jenin has opened and a Palestinian machine gun and three redoubts were reduced to ashes. Unfortunately, the city looks like it's heavily garrisoned, and two more artillery batteries are being moved into action. Unfortunately our WW2 artillery has been badly damaged and will be withdrawn from combat in the area pending repairs, but it earned its combat stripes and will be much more effective. Judging by the garrison, however, the rain of fire and brimstone we have prepared for them should have the rubble of Jenin in our hands by February at the latest.

However, Arab reinforcements seem to be moving into the Jenin and I have no forces mobile enough to prevent them from reaching the city, I'm going to place a request for a T-34 to patrol the Jordan and for cleanup operations since the Palestinians between Jenin and the Jordan have been running wild for months without me being able to do anything. I think I will also need another WW2 artillery if we want the city to fall quickly, and I'd like to request more Zion workers, as my advance is taking me beyond the reach of my supply lines. Perhaps some our economy may rush a couple of zion workers in the smaller towns, in Petach Tikva and Tantura.

H Tower · July 28, 2004, 04:38

I have no doubt that once you have pounded the enemy forces inside the hilly city of Jenin to rubble, the Palestinian resistance in the area will crumble. Unfortunately most of the reinforcements were needed elsewhere, including the zion worker. Perhaps I will be able to assign another zion worker to your command when the next ship docks in Haifa. I will keep your request for armored support under advisement for now. Victory in Jenin will assure mobile support for the advance to the next seige.

Dr. Nick · July 28, 2004, 07:58

Thank you, mein General. God's will be done.

H Tower · August 7, 2004, 04:40

The seige of Jenin.
WW1 vet artillery kills Pal Anti aircraft gun
WW1 vet artillery kills Pal Frontier Guard
WW1 vet artillery withdraws to Nazareth rest
WW2 vet artillery withdraws to Nazareth to rest
WW1 vet artillery advances from Nazareth to fortress
WW1 vet artillery advances from Nazareth to fortress
WW2 artillery advances to fortress from the rear

Defense of Nazareth
Palmach vet inside nazareth kills Pal machine gunner
Palmach vet from Haifa advances east from Nazareth and kills Pal Arab Legion

I fully expect our troops to be more than capable of capture Jenin in February

conmcb25 · August 7, 2004, 08:36

Whats left in there, any idea????

Pesky Palestinians

H Tower · August 7, 2004, 11:43

If 1 ww2 artillery, 2 vet ww1 artillery and 2 vet lightly damaged ww1 artillery can't take the city in february, I'll be pissed off. Having played this scenario on my own before, there are usually at 2 Frontier guards in each Pal city, so I figure at least one more of those.

conmcb25 · August 8, 2004, 10:22

Cool

That amount of arty out to pulverize it then.

PinkyGen · September 2, 2004, 00:02

Victory on Two Fronts!!
Arabs in West Bank surrounded on three sides; attacked from north and south!

I am pleased to report to the COS that both Jenin and Ramallah have fallen. Forces have moved to occupy both cities to prevent hope for any Arab counter-attack. Until I receive further orders, it shall be the intention of my front to use all of its resources to reduce the Arab pocket and secure the entire West side of the Jordan.

Unfortunately, further advance was halted as the Zion workers that should be building my fortifications at Jenin instead built a railroad. Therefore, forces were ordered to fully secure Jenin.

How many turns does it take a Zion worker to build a fortress? I only have one in the north, so I may need to take another for this advance to continue towards Nablus.

Requests for myself before I forget.
City Defenses for Ramallah.
