I agree, a 27" screen is great. I bought one a while ago and love it. Definitely, a great addition if you can swing it.
Nort,
Bringing it, but its a little tougher when my Chaffee company vaporized in one turn. Looks like you took a P38 to them. Definitely, some tin cans.
On the battlefront,
New opening on the Western Front with Wolfman in Still Full of Fight. All I have to say is WOW. Totally unexpected on turn 2, Wolfman came after me like I stole his girlfriend. Man, this is going to be a tough fight.
I was moving forward into jump off positions when boiling out in front of me a whole column of German light and heavy panzers slammed into me slapping my Chaffees and AAA halftracks around. No hesitation from the Wolfman. Luckily for me, my guys had lots of nearby friends to greet the panzers properly.
On my right flank, his scouts came forward to slap me around a bit as well. Not sure his scouts appreciated the Jumbos running just behind my scouts though.
Regards,
Jim
Wolfman and I are progressing. 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.
