Turn 2: 6.32 AMMiauw: Get out of the water, Run forward to the tank traps and take cover!(movement roll:5) After flailing his arms and legs wildly in the surf, Antoine finally was able to first get to his knees, retched loudly and then onto his feet. From there he ran towards the tank traps 20 m or so ahead of him, where many of his squadmates had already found cover (cover roll: 2+2+1).

(movement roll: 4) Crawling on his belly, Pvt Stevens made good progress up the beach from behind his posts to the next sensible cover - a cluster of steel tank traps (cover roll: 5+2). Staying prone beneath these gave him some relative saftey to observe the furthest enemy position in some saftey (action roll:6). He could clerly make out the gun crew in his scope, frantically moving the flak cannon into firing position, and the gun operator was alrwady seated and exposed, so Pvt Stevens wasted no time in trying a shot (Attack:2+1+1). WHilst the shot was accurate and true, one of the support crew from the gun stepped infront of the gunner at the last moment, taking the round in the neck, dying instantly. This alerted the rest of the crew, who clearly started to keep thier heads down while continuing to move the gun. This done, Stevens then looked to use his hands to form a small sandbank to hide behind (Action: 3), though this gave little in the way of real protection compared to the steel structure he was under.

Already ahead of his men, Capt Cooper decided it was time to return fire (new cover score = 3). Looking further up the beach he could see that from this range he was most likely to be able to worry the machine gun nests up on the cliff (AA4), even if the carbine he carried wasnt the best wepon for hitting from a range of over 100m. In a series of 5 short bursts he spent a whole clip at his target before swapping the empty one for a full one (attack: 1-2+2), but the semi automaitc fire did not register a single hit on the nests. Still, the sight of thier captain unleashing fury would no doubt do his men some good.

Pvt Merkhander slowly edged forward (move roll: 4) from his sand hole to the base of a stump post (cover roll: 4+1+1) where his suit allwed him to belnd in very well with a knot of seaweed and driftwood. From here he took aim at the crew of the flak gun, seeing one of thier number drop in a spray of blood. (Attack roll: 4+1) Squeezing off 3 rounds in succession Kalam was able to take down the soldier who appeared to be the loader and one assistant operator busy rotating the cannon. 3 of the 7 man crew were now out of action, and nearby riflemen rushed to take up the spaces left by thier dead comrades. Pleased by his contribution, Kalam looked to see if any explosive material was near the rear bunker (action: 3), but all he could make out before the sand sprayed up by incoming fire was multiple crates of 88mm ammo stacked along one edge of the concrete bunker.

Feeling pleased at the results of the smoke round, Pvt White heaved the mortar back onto his shoulders (back to 4 moves...) before getting his ass into cover under tank traps further up the beach (move roll:4). Breathing heavily thanks to all his heavy gear he fell into the sand next to his Captain, who was busy reloading his carbine (cover roll: 3). It was tricky for the big guy loaded up with gear to keep himself behind the tank traps...

With blood slowly oozing from his leg wound, Jackson gritted his teeth and crawled along the sand to a nearby post (move roll: 2). He did not get very far however before needing to stop due to the pain, and lay onto his back, calling "MEDIC!!" (action roll: 6). Almost before he had finished yelling, one was upon him, examining his leg. "Messy flesh wound Sir! Looks and feels worse than it is. I have bound it to stop the bleeding, and give you a small shot of morphine to dull the pain. Better get up the beach though sir!"

During a lull while the riflemen in the bunker reloaded, Pvt Willard (move roll:5) squirmed forwards beneath the tank traps a few metres ahead of him and hunkered down (4+1), waiting for the firing to resume, dreading what would happen next if someone didnt start getting the enemies heads down.

Capt Blues (move roll: 4) cautiously crawled over the open sand, rifle rounds whistling above his head. "Ill make you bastards pay..." he whispered to himself, hunkering down under a tank trap (cover: 1+2+1), taking aim at the riflemen firing from 66F (attack roll: 3+1). His shot smashed the wrist of one of the riflemen apart, who sunk out of view in agony, but his squadmates barely noticed and kept up thier firing. (Cover score: 4-2)...
Incoming fire from up on the cliff thunks into the sand all around him, and Capt blues begins to feel very trapped.

(move roll: 2) Rushing to his feet, Hirisho started to sprint to the large belgian gate 15 or so metres away. Unfortunatley for him the loose sand beneath his feet was far from an ideal running surface, and he fell into the sand halfway between his starting point and his desired destination, (cover roll: 2-1+1) lacking anything in the way of meaningful cover. (action: 4) From there though he had a clear veiw of at least one squadron of riflemen rushing from the village to take up position in the trench covering the exit from the beach - they did look as if someone had rushed them from thier beds though. Further observation was made impossible as a burst of machineun fire thunked into the sand in front of him, scattering sand and making Pvt Tsutome bury his head into the ground.

(Move roll: 4) Seeing men all over the beach advance, Sgt Stevens was not about to let them get all the glory. Recklessly charging ahead he made good time to a belgian gate half way up the beach, still protected by the thick smoke. (cover roll: 4+2) The sturdy structure of the gate provided ample cover against incoming rounds.

(Cover score retained: 7) Keeping safley pressed against the post, Pvt Cooper returned fire at the riflemen in 66F. He squeezed off 3 bursts in rapid succession (Attack rolls: 4-2, 1-2, 3-2), but at this range the BAR didnt have the accuracy to do much more than slam rounds into the concrete houing. A lull in the firing while the enemy reloaded meant that Pvt Cooper was no longer pinned down...

At least one squad of riflemen (Karabiner 98k, abundant ammo, +1 to 8 tile or more targets, not great RoF): Reloading, minor casualties.
1 MG nest, dead gunner (MG42, abundant ammo, +5 on targets 6 tiles or less, -3 on targets 10 tiles or more - deadly MG (-2 to all rolls due to dead gunner), supressed)
The riflemen in 66F spend this turn reloading the stripper clips on thier 98K rifles.
The soldiers in the MG bunker spot the isolated and exposed soldier in J7, and rattle off a burst of fire at him (Attack roll: 2-2-2), but the replacement gunner shows his lack of time behind the trigger, and the speculative fire falls way short of its target, kicking up bursts of sand.
Bunker 66R (Well scouted)x1 88mm flak + crew (abundant ammo stacked alongside bunker, +6 attack up to 8 tiles, +4 attack up to 12 tiles: good RoF, innacurate but lethal): light losses, replaced by riflemen.
At least 1 squad of riflemen (Karabiner 98k, abundant ammo, +1 to 8 tile or more targets, not great RoF)
x2 MG nest (MG42, abundant ammo, +5 on targets 6 tiles or less, -3 on target 10 tiles or more - deadly MG)
The flak gun is being re-aimed down towards the beach despite losses, and will be ready for use by turn 3. It will have a minor penalty to RoF due to a dead loader.
The riflemen target the forward infantry in I5. Capt Blues has exposed himself in order to take shots of his own. However, the long rage fire (roll: 1+1-1) is innacurate and only succeeds in pinning Capt Blues from moving next turn.
The MG nests have lost patience with waiting for troops to come into range, and both take long range potshots at E7/F7. (attack rolls: (1-3, 2-3). Both gunners overestimate the range and do not allow for thier elevation, and all thier fire splashes into the sea behind the assaulting troops.
