Pavlov’s Dogs versus 3FJD in a fierce infantry engagement

Linking up with local allied
Forces in the weeks following the landings, Pavlov’s dogs fell under SHAEF control until they could be repatriated home.

Unwilling to retire from the front Starshina Pavlov led his men against the elite men of the 3rd Fallschirmjaeger near the village of Carentan. His objective was to screen the flank of the 101st airborne by securing a main road junction into the town to prevent reinforcements.

With both forces racing to seize the key junction Pavlov pushed his men hard. Yefreytor Legasov pushed forward in the centre taking horrendous fire from the opposing German forces but causal ties were fortunately light and Legasov and his men tied up many times their number around the farmhouse, thought the allied artillery certainly helped even the numbers.

On the left flank ignatenko’s pups swept through the orchard assisted by enfilading fire from an MMG and a sniper securing the flank in short order.

On the right flank fighting around the junction itself was fierce with Khomyuk’s veterans and Dyalatov’s men pushing back the Infantry of the 3FJD. In a series of brutal close range engagements. The late arrival of a Puma armoured car did cause some issues due to the lack of AT assets on the area but at the 11th hour the arrival of heavier allied armour caused the German morale to falter and fall back.

During the fighting Pavlov was wounded by an enemy sniper while pushing forward to support Legasov’s men. The wounds will heal but it’s expected it may be some time before he’s fully fit.

3FJD versus Pavlov’s Dogs in a fierce infantry engagement

5 strategic points had been identified prior to the attack. The hardest to take and probably the most contested point was assigned to the elite Fallschirmjäger troops whilst smaller units of Grenadiers were to control their other points. Unfortunately a direct hit from an artillery barrage caught the Fallschirmjäger whilst preparing to launch their attack. A nearby officer stepped in and rallied the troops who then ran towards the central objective. Meanwhile the Allied veteran troops had advanced towards the same objective and the ongoing firefight was to last for the whole battle. In the end the Allies got a narrow victory as they forced a Grenadier unit off an objective to gain the advantage and secure the win

3FJD versus Northamptonshire Yeomanry in a fierce infantry engagement

As each force looked upon the battlefield the field commanders saw an opportunity to destroy a vital supply depot of the enemy (Demolition scenario)
Quickly a veteran force of elite Fallschirmjäer were sent to eliminate the guards and destroy the supply of fuel and ammunition. Unfortunately they were caught in the open as they crossed a field and were hit by 3 separate units. The field medic worked miracles and kept them in the game but they could not reach their target in time. The allies had the same idea and they managed to sneak a transport down a flank and the 2 remaining passengers passed their order test and jumped out to take the German supply depot

Allied forces suffered heavy losses in a Pyrrhic victory while securing material resources vital to the war effort. Our back room boffins assure us that this McGuffin device will mean the war will be over by Christmas.

Northamptonshire Yeomanry versus 3FJD in a fierce infantry engagement

Attacking elements on both sides ran into heavy resistance. Both thrusts were initially repulsed although the Allied forward observation officer managed to slip through enemy lines to destroy supplies vital to the Axis war effort. Reports of the high effectiveness of Axis medical staff give Allied command cause for concern.
