Jobu88 vs RNLTiger ( Tiger - no peeking!)

[Jobu88]

Disaster. Pure, unmitigated, weapons-grade disaster.

My boys execute their orders perfectly, move up in perfect formation to the precise spot where I wanted them. Unfortunately, Tiger's T-34's got to the gap in the trees first. And you can probably guess the rest....











As if that wasn't enough pain for one turn, one of my StuH42's takes a gun hit from a nearby HE round, followed seconds later by an immobilizing hit from a nearby HE round, and the crew decides that enough is enough already and they bail out.









About the only satisfaction I got from this turn was my tank hunter cooly tossing a magnetic mine right into the SU-76's knickers, with excellent results.







We're at Turn 18 of 25+, my plan to rack up points by killing Russian tanks has boomeranged on me and now Tiger has at least a small edge ( 2 veteran Pz IV's and a StuH42 for one T-34 and one SU-76). He also has at least 5 T-34's left, and my only anti-tank capability now rests with my infantry, who are all armed with nothing more capable than Panzerfaust 30s. Well, if it was going to be easy, we would have sent the Italians to this part of the front I guess.
