RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - Elltee - 11-01-2006 HerrS and myself ended up with a draw - he just managed to roll a STG within range of a flag on the last turn to deny me ownership of it which probably cost me a victory:hissy: but a very entertaining battle with some early lucky hits from my Green Russian tank crews before his more experienced crews picked off my 9 tanks leaving my infantry to defend the flags (pretty successfully - 3 out of 4 held and 1 contested) . Yet again full marks to Rico RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - Herr Schacht - 11-01-2006 It was a slugfest for a while. I have never had green CCCP troops hold ground like LTs, or Soviet light tanks that can take out a Stug on the first shot. That said, I was lucky to have barely salvaged a draw! Hats off to Elltee for a creative plan. Almost got me! RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - Cpt Courageous - 11-01-2006 9 tanks! Wow, you were served well. MGK picked off all my tanks (3 t34 and 3 T70 by mid game. After that I just hit the "GO" button. RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - Rico (FGM) - 11-01-2006 You'd think that considering I built the damn map I'd know the LOS better.... but NO,... Fullhouse's panzers have been picking off my T-34's at will... very, very painful. RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - Elltee - 11-01-2006 yeah I had 5 T70's, 1 got picked off early so the other 4 crossed the river and swarmed around a couple of STG's - taking 1 out before 3 succumbed to a further STG and a Marder that appeared on the scene and the final one was taken out by infantry just as it was lining up a side shot at close range on a STG. My 4 T34's headed across the far crossing and took out the Marder at long range before duelling with a single STG, unfortunately the closeness of the terrain meant they were unable to get a side shot on the STG which took them out 1 by 1. If I had taken out this STG I would have had free reign to complete the circle and hit his troops at the first crossing from the rear. 2 Platoons of infantry and an ATR held the first crossing while 1 platoon held the far village but could not stop the STG getting within range of the flag RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - MGK(FGM) - 11-03-2006 My green and conscript t34's sunk in river - they were not match for veteran stugs. I think fast T70 are better in this scenario then t34s RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - Copper - 11-03-2006 MGK(FGM) Wrote:My green and conscript t34's sunk in river - they were not match for veteran stugs. I think fast T70 are better in this scenario then t34s Yeah right, have a look at this. The trouble with Soviet tanks is that they are crap. 1 Marder did this to me in 2 turns, 3 on the first and 2 on the second. I think this scenario definately favours the Germans slightly, though I'm not complaining, its a level playing field and I'm enjoying it. Its a positive blast to play these QB's. RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - Copper - 11-03-2006 On the other hand, the view from the other side looks much rosier. I have just completed my game against Herr Schacht. Minor Victory to my gallant and outnumbered German force. I was pleased with this one as he took out my only PzIV very early with a bloody lucky shot. A Stug and an AT Team (deceased) saved my day. The view from the German side [attachment=717] The other flag [attachment=718] As with all Soviet Armour, if its not Vet its near as damn useless, unless you get it right up close and personal and if you manage to do this, your a lucky man! Herr Schacht almost did it, lucky for me his Soviet Green Tanks had already used up all their luck. RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - MGK(FGM) - 11-04-2006 I think that Vulture lost his second stug ;-) so it is not so bad now ;-) RE: Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3 - Rico (FGM) - 11-05-2006 Two Round 3 results came today: Victor Charlie scored a Axis Tactical Victory over Zaraza. and... Zaraza scored a Axis Minor Victory over Victor Charlie. These results move Victor Charlie into joint 2nd place with 95Bravo... but Ratzki still looks very comfortable up there in top dog spot! ;) Rico |
