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

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..

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..

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..

My Russian car probes ahead of the main force towards Tripps's sailing clubhouse..

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..

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)

Good ambush. Sometimes you know when your just walking into one..!

Mt.Carmel Hills German gun takes out an invading T-34 in the shallows just 20 seconds into the first turn.

But my other T-34's are on the ball and quickly knock out the gun..
