HERROBERST BEATS THE POS STACK AGAIN!

[Pol]

Has it finished mate? That's news to me!
I've still got some tanks and shreks left and can do a lot of damage with them..Send the next file when you've finished patting yourself on the back..;)

And to put things into perspective -
You offered me choice of sides in Chaulnes so I chose German even though I knew I'd only have 16 tanks (Tigs/Panths/IVH's/Mards) against your 34 -repeat 34 - Fireflies/Sher75's/M10's/Stuarts.
Plus your infantry was bristling with bazookas..

In other words I knew I'd be outnumbered by more than 2 to 1 but did it bother me? Nah, how kool is that..:)
At the moment I count 14 of your tanks lying dead..

And half my tanks are only regulars (little girls) which as usual won't obey orders, thereby giving the scenario an unrealistic feel..
If I'd had an all-vet force (real men), I'd have stopped the Sherman tsunami no problem..:)

I had the honour to play this one against Herroberst too. I was playing German side and held on to both flags, lost tiger, panther, 2 marders and 2 PzIV. And I am not a seasoned player. Don't think Germans have such an inefficient force, 34-16 odds seem bad, but most of allied tanks are sherman 75, which cannot handle big cats from the front at all and have problems from sides. They have only 3 firefies and 3 M10. And I think it is logical, that odds are against the defender, isn't it?
Calling the sherman wave tsunami describes the situation in this scenario very well though.
Tank battle is the key factor in this scenario. I used strengths and weakneses of all my tanks: panthers were on overwatch showing only their front plates, marders and pzIV in keyhole and ambush positions, tigers doing their usual job: being in the middle of the battlefield and shooting all around. I didn't encounter any problems with the crew quality.
Even though I won, I was quite impressed by Herroberst's tactics and stealthy movement. I learned a lot from him. Very enjoyable secenario.
