RE: COMBAT GALLERY - PoorOldSpike - 06-27-2008 Chess-like move/countermove on the Eastern Front.. 1- I send 6 x T-34/85's and infantry against the big flag. (1 T-34 was picked off en route) 2- Airborne Bob counters with a 3-Panther thrust 3 - I intercept the Panther leader with a pair of 34/85's Scratch one Panther.. RE: COMBAT GALLERY - PoorOldSpike - 06-27-2008 With my Russian infantry line stalled in the face of GAZ NZ's guns and infantry, I hurl my armour forward to break the deadlock; it kills at least one gun and possibly a schreck but there are still unseen whooshes, bangs and grenades coming out of the whirling maelstrom of fire.. No gain without pain...A grenade from somewhere gets my Stalin leader.. RE: COMBAT GALLERY - PoorOldSpike - 06-27-2008 1- After overunning the hills outpost (rear centre),Mangus's Russians maintain the momentum towards the airfield. 2- I order my panzers to stand fast on the runway and slug it out, and after a fierce exchange of fire we both lose 4 tanks each.. 3- I order a pack of 4 x Hetzers to reinforce the airfield battle.. 4- And Mangus orders a pack of assorted armour to do the same.. Having seized the high ground, Mangus's T-34/85's pour fire down into my exposed panzer group on the runway.. RE: COMBAT GALLERY - PoorOldSpike - 06-27-2008 Yet more of GAZ NZ's guns pop up and knock out more Russkis, they're thicker'n fleas on a hound dawgs back out there.. And the Stalins tough upper hull is useless if it's drilled through the thinner turret.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMMp_llzBT4&feature=related RE: COMBAT GALLERY - PoorOldSpike - 06-27-2008 My Russian car probes ahead of the main force towards Tripps's sailing clubhouse.. And is almost blown apart by a faust (seen in flight at tip of arrow) RE: COMBAT GALLERY - PoorOldSpike - 06-27-2008 As my Russians edge cautiously along the railway line they suddenly come under long-range fire from 2 of Waleed's assault guns (later turned out to be Hetzers) resulting in a blockage to the line (inset).. Perched on the high ground near the valley, they get clear shots.. RE: COMBAT GALLERY - Copper - 06-27-2008 Nice posts thanks POS. ;) RE: COMBAT GALLERY - PoorOldSpike - 06-27-2008 With this battle in overtime I play my final card against the main flag by sending 2 x T-34's to establish a presence near it to hopefully at least turn it neutral, I kept them in the centre of the runway out of grenade range but Der Kuenstler's invisible schrecks/fausts mercilessly cut them down. (The third T-34 in flames further down the runway was brewed by a grenade a few turns previously) RE: COMBAT GALLERY - Copper - 06-27-2008 Good ambush. Sometimes you know when your just walking into one..! RE: COMBAT GALLERY - PoorOldSpike - 06-27-2008 Mt.Carmel Hills German gun takes out an invading T-34 in the shallows just 20 seconds into the first turn. "Morality ends where a gun begins"- Ayn Rand 1905-1982 But my other T-34's are on the ball and quickly knock out the gun.. (this is the 'Perimeter' map, the sea is all fords to simulate shallows and allow amphibious landings) |
