The Wacht am Rhein - Round 1

[A Canadian Cat]

One of my games with Nort, how do we proceed? We've tried rolling back a few turns but it still crashes on Go. I sent you the file/passy, will resend.

Oh that does ring a bell.  I cannot see an email still in my inbox could you resent please.  Sorry about that

One of my Stug's took an arty hit right on its top deck with a squad sitting on it. RIP

Wow, that's a unique one! Never seen that in 5 years + of gaming,   you should post it in the Battlefront Forum's screenshot thread.

You don't have to mention whos Stug it is...  

In one of our Hedgehog&my games we had a Pz IV taken out by a mortar hit on the engine deck. I didn't know it was possible.

@ Glider:

Direct artillery hits on tanks are quite rare, but one that produces such a capital clusterf**k is something unique.
Happened in real-life, too, at least from time to time.

BrosifBallin and myself finished our games:

BrosifBallin Axis (970) - Panzer Lehr Allies (38) (Total German Victory)
Panzer Lehr Axis (790) - BrosifBallin Allies (280) (Major German Victory)

Overall BrosifBallin (1250) - Panzer Lehr (828) --> BrosifBallin wins!!!

Well played Doug!

Best of luck in the next round.

Thanks. Saw your record and knew going in it was going to be a really tough match. I got really worried after seeing a tank destroyed and 2 immobilized you had 3 panthers left on the field heading towards the objectives! Wondered if I had even gotten the one kill. Very nice immobilizing my Jackson with mortar fire before taking it out.

I think if you switched out a panther for another platoon of infantry we would have forced our host to invent a tie breaker.

A question for anyone, do tank immobilizations count at all for casualties at the end in terms of scoring? The whole score thing has always mystified me a little bit, I don't really know how it works.

Wow, all the big favourites drop out of the tourney!
Numbers 1 and 2 of the ladder are out already, the tourney-win is up for grabs.

@Brosif Ballin:
Congrats mate and to answer your question, immobilized tanks don't count as dead AFAIK. To verify this, just load the last file, look at the battlefield and count the destroyed tanks. What I know for sure is that the count for infantry losses is wrong very often.

x1 Game finished.

Nort Axis (166) - Lond0ner Allies (964) (Total Allied Victory)

Second game borked, sorry Cat, will send you file again now....

[pontaeus]

Eltee and I are finished with both games a victory for me. One of the games was still in progress and could have gone either way (we'd both lost one tank) but Eltee had to retire due to RL time demands.

[weapon2010]

any idea when round 2 will start?
