RE: GREEN LIGHT TOURNEY - Mad Baron - 08-07-2008 Just a thought. Since the GLT is heavily balanced against the Russ, it might be interesting to eventually post the best kill ratio for the Reds in each sector, as a final screen shot for each. Sort of the ''dream defense,'' as it were. Has anyone killed more than 2 German tanks in any sector yet? Between indirect fire, the Stuka, caught still trying to set up, spot-on German gunnery, etc., I have been pretty much ripped apart as the defender. I think I have only 1 enemy tank kill as we now wait with our backs to the Volga (but at least that town cannot fall)!

It's a mirror, so any imbalance will er...balance itself out in the rematch, no sweat..:) 23 guys have chosen to play as Russians in the first-half games, and 10 have chosen to be German. That means you 23 Russian guys are going to find out in the rematch that it's much harder being the Germans than you think, sure the sheer numerical superiority of Jerry will inevitably carry him a long way down the map, but if his movement plotting skills aren't spot on he's going to have huge traffic snarlups (I know) which will slow his advance and give the Russkis precious time to get their reinfs into position and their guns neatly faced to meet him.. It's only a 20-turn game and too many delays will seriously throw a spanner in the German advance timetable, so the German players traffic coordination skills will be tested to the absolute limit..:) Kharkov ![[Image: KharkovD.jpg]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub1/KharkovD.jpg)
RE: GREEN LIGHT TOURNEY - PoorOldSpike - 08-07-2008 COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Hill As my panzers fight it out with Andre's 2 guns, (losing 2 tanks in the process), a Sturmovik strike comes in from the left-- ![[Image: Andre-stura.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Andre-stura.gif) The 4 rockets straddle the German group but miraculously no further tanks are hurt.. ![[Image: Andre-sturb.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Andre-sturb.gif) Wartime issue ![[Image: stur-stam.png]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/stur-stam.png)
RE: GREEN LIGHT TOURNEY - PoorOldSpike - 08-07-2008 COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Woods ![[Image: awood.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/awood.gif) Owl's 8-wheeler comes probing ahead of the German main force and takes an ampulomet hit for his trouble.. ![[Image: Owl-8wa.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Owl-8wa.gif) Followed up by this direct hit from his own 150mm artillery as the German barrage arrives. Definitely not his day.. ![[Image: Owl-8wb.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Owl-8wb.gif)
RE: GREEN LIGHT TOURNEY - PoorOldSpike - 08-07-2008 COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Town ![[Image: atown.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/atown.gif) My panzers make their big push on the Volga, and a major tank battle erupts on the outskirts of Bootie's town as a total of 10 German and 8 Russian machines clash in what traumatised peasant witnesses will dub 'the battle of the great iron things' but the largely green Russian force is no match for the faster-firing crack panzers and all the Russians are wrecked for the loss of about half the panzers. X's mark wrecked machines.. ![[Image: Boo-towa.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Boo-towa.gif) Pictures from the height of the battle- The right-hand panzer group slugs it out against 4 T-34's.. ![[Image: Boo-towb.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Boo-towb.gif) The T-34's view.. ![[Image: Boo-towc.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Boo-towc.gif) My left-hand panzer group took on the KV2 group and suffered 50 per cent losses.. ![[Image: Boo-towd.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Boo-towd.gif) As the lumbering KV2's struggle to reload their huge shells, more T-34s back them up.. ![[Image: Boo-towe.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Boo-towe.gif)
RE: GREEN LIGHT TOURNEY - PoorOldSpike - 08-08-2008 COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Hill Andre wipes out all 5 tanks of my panzer spearhead. With only 4 turns left I calculated that if I hurled them forward on 'fast' they'd be on the banks of the Volga before the end of the game. Bad call. Andre launches a surprise attack out of the town and beats them to a pulp; my boys fired back but missed most of the time because firing on 'fast' means you usually can't hit a barn door.. I lose all 5 panzers for the loss of possibly 1 T-34.. ![[Image: And-hila.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/And-hila.gif) KV2's at their work.. ![[Image: Andr-hilb.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Andr-hilb.gif)
RE: GREEN LIGHT TOURNEY - PoorOldSpike - 08-08-2008 COMBAT FOOTAGE-The Hill Beatguy's Russian armour blocks the road, so rather than make the mistake of trying to blindly charge past it on 'fast' to the Volga (as I tried to do against Andre), this time I mount a precision surgical strike with a complimentary mix of 'fast' and 'hunt' orders. Result- 4 wrecked Russians for the loss of one panzer.. ![[Image: BGhilx.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/BGhilx.gif) The air was thick with gunsmoke as the panzers poured lethal concentrated fire into the Russian group.. ![[Image: BGhilz.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/BGhilz.gif)
RE: GREEN LIGHT TOURNEY - PoorOldSpike - 08-08-2008 COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Wood My tankhunter's grenade bundle describes a graceful arc as it soars towards Feydarkin's panzer with devastating consequences for the vehicle (inset) However German infantry quickly closes in on him.. ![[Image: Fey-bund.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/Fey-bund.gif)
RE: GREEN LIGHT TOURNEY - PoorOldSpike - 08-08-2008 COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Wood Combat Wombat's panzer leader drives straight through the rail crossing chased by a 45mm ATG shot which does no harm.. ![[Image: CWrailz.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/CWrailz.gif) The panzer is determined to reach the beckoning Hill in the background, the last major obstacle before the sweet waters of the Volga beyond.. ![[Image: CWrailb.gif]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/Competitons/CWrailb.gif)
