THE MALITZ TROPHY COMPETITION

[PoorOldSpike]

COMBAT FOOTAGE - Raz Atoth's SU-76 column races across bridge..

As my panzer group deploys for combat in the built-up city centre at left background, his SU's make a surprise thrust and cross the bridge unopposed..

[PoorOldSpike]

COMBAT FOOTAGE - Sempai's Poles (fighting for the Russians) dominate airfield sector..

I send a pair of PzIVH's (far background) to chip away at his rampaging armour, and I get the first shot..




But it MISSES and the T-34 fires back and doesn't miss (inset)..
(Note I pushed one of the panzers a shade too far ahead and he therefore couldn't get LOS on the T-34 to help out his mate, plain sloppy play..)

[PoorOldSpike]

COMBAT FOOTAGE - Ratzki's Germans move on the town..

With my T-34's drawn off trying to suppress his Grille elsewhere, his Hetzer and infantry exploit this loophole in my defences..

Memo - I've just added a new list to the Malitz HQ post on page 1 -
WHO BOUGHT WHAT ARMOUR

[PoorOldSpike]

COMBAT FOOTAGE - Mad Baron takes out my SU-100..

These Russian babies have super-duper front armour and usually need a side/rear shot to wreck them, but I estimate that if I can race it fast to the buildings up ahead, they'll nicely shield its sides.
But oops, it BOGS and is a sitting duck for Mad Barons panzer which decks it with the first shot..

COMBAT FOOTAGE - Mad Baron forces SU-100 to retreat like whipped pup..

PIC 1 - Seeing two wrecked Germans from an earlier shootout, I push my other SU-100 into enemy territory expecting to find only minor opposition. Bad call, I'm confronted by 3 tanks, plus a shreck up my tailpipe..




PIC 2 -My boy fights for his life, punching out the lights of one Stug and possibly damaging the gun of another..




PIC 3 - He takes a shreck hit that wrecks his gun and thinks 'i'm outta here, i've done my bit' and starts a-running, chased by more shreck rockets...




PIC 4 - He somehow escapes and rejoins his mates..

I've told you once you're lucky. If it was me, I'd probably gone to pieces with the first hit.

What a great and fun Trophy Competition!! I am proud to have been in on it...(even though I suspect I will end up in flames when our battle is finally over)! :cheeky:

My hat is off to Poor Old Spike for such a mammoth undertaking!!!

[PoorOldSpike]

COMBAT FOOTAGE - Raz Atoth caves in my flank..

Two shots come out of nowhere and take out my probing PzIVH and Hetzer in quick succession, but I can't see who fired!
PICARD - "Report Mr.Worf!"
WORF - "Shields penetrated but still nothing on sensors!"
DATA - "SU100 de-cloaking ahead captain!" (inset)
