RE: Random chatter... - Ashcloud - 05-15-2013 Wow, playing against Jim sound super scary. RE: Random chatter... - Herr Straße Laufer - 05-16-2013 Ash, you could be thinking "I got this. Clean sailing. He's not going to be able to counter." Then you get the "uh oh" reaction one turn as Jim goes and tacks in and steals the wind from your sails.  It also is the next scenario up in our West Front world tour! Your side is what Jim played.   HSL RE: Random chatter... - Jim von Krieg - 05-16-2013 Scary! Little ole me.  What you talk'n about Willis? I'll have you know I put my pants on like everyone else, both legs at the same time... 
RE: Random chatter... - Herr Straße Laufer - 05-17-2013 LOL!  I am just glad you wear pants.  Your legendary skill as a CS champion precedes you.  Leaving many a player on that heap of bodies torn limb from limb under the relenting pressure.  I've felt the sting on more than one occasion.

He continues his furious charge forward, but a with fewer forces available to him. My infantry is beginning to rack of some casualties as they hold the line or attempt to push forward. On my right flank, my GI's moved forward and were promptly ambushed. They were driven back; however, tank fire covered their retreat. On my left flank and center, they took some fire, but are beginning to push forward. Jagdpanzers operating solo on my left flank were dispatched with long range fires from the Jackson's and Pershings from hulldown positions overlooking the road. Previously, I saw King Tigers operating in the area so I'm not keen on pushing towards the village on the extreme left overlooking the plain. Feeling a little venturous, I push a platoon of M4/76s forward and immediately get embroiled in a point blank gun duel with a Tiger. Scratch one Tiger. Shermans beat a hasty retreat after the engagement. I think the casualties are catching up to the Wolfman, but it looks like he's still a dangerous foe.

On my right, the IS-2s are really laying waste to the Tigers attempting to push forward. His earlier attempt to enter the village with only armor was thrown back. He established a good crossfire for the close fight just outside the village, but his Tigers fired at extremely long range at my KV-85s moving in the center village. This unmasked his positions AND used up the majority of his OPFIRE on his left. This exposed his Tigers to engagement by IS-2s and SU-85s at fairly close range and it was brutal. Two Tiger companies badly mauled. Additionally, after getting expelled from the village, Pax brought up some Panthers to support his left flank. They engaged my reinforcing T34/85s entering the area at long range to no effect. Unfortunately, the Panthers engaged them as they were moving forward through Improved Positions. Between the T34/85s and the IS-2s in the area, the Panther Company was destroyed. Unexpectedly, the T34/85s achieved good results in this isolated duel. In the Center, Pax continues to pound mercilessly my exposed infantry. Not much I can do there at this point, but hold on to my Trenches and IPs. He is close, but I can't hit him head on to knock him back. Those Panthers and King Tigers would slice me and dice me. All I can do is send in more infantry to hold the line. While Pax is pounding on the front door, he is trying to move in behind with two Tiger companies to cut me off. This is where my Stalin's using terrain masking made their presence known as they flood the area. I isolated and mauled a Tiger Company. After my Stalin's hammered the Tigers, my T34/85s raced to the high ground and I think are now in place to drive deep into his position. Still have to deal with a lone Tiger up there, but I don't think that will be much of a problem. I think I've ripped his left flank open. No contact with his infantry which I got a glimpse of as it moved forward. I forgot to turn my lurker AT gun OPFIRE off, so when the Tigers retreated out of the village, my guy popped off at the Tigers to his doom. His infantry was moving up, but I think it is too late now. I don't think they have much in the area to prevent my boys from pushing out of the village to hammer his left flank. I'm threatened in the center. With his second company of Tigers on overwatch behind my position, I can't readily race my tanks up the road to reinforce the position. My infantry is pushing forward to reinforce, but I need some heavies in the village that will guarantee the position doesn't fall. I can see his infantry (looks like engineers) cresting the ridge and moving forward. If he gets his ground pounders in there, it won't be good for me. A valuable lesson... Check your OPFIRE settings... inadvertent shots at the wrong time can blow your plan all to hell... I am one that doesn't like to let OPFIRE rule my battle plan, it can make or break you... but I got a tad bit sloppy and exposed a key spotter at a crucial point in the battle... I sensed his infantry was moving up and plastered the road... Unfortunately, the loss of eyes on resulted in errant shots to little effect... Great day of gaming today. All my current opponents were exchanging turns AND I was busy getting up to speed on 48th Panzer as well as organizing our team... We're about to go hot on a massive team game... I can't wait to get into this... Have a great weekend everyone... Jim RE: Random chatter... - Dragoon - 05-19-2013 Giants on the Vistula.One of my all time favorite scenerio's as either side.
