Wow - thanks for these POS...especially the assualt boat encounter...!?

Owl stages a classic armour-infantry cooperation action

PIC 1 - His Stugs shell a Brit-occupied building..



PIC 2 - The building falls..



PIC 3 - He sends in his troops to mop up the dazed Brit survivors..

[PoorOldSpike]

Mad Baron turns up the heat..
His German flame guy dishes it out against my Brits in the building..




While in the village his well-concealed schreck guy nobbles my probing Sherman..

[PoorOldSpike]

Feldfebels panzers blast their way into village..
"If the tank succeeds, the victory follows"- Gen. Guderian





While in the woods sector his German platoon refuse to give ground in the face of my flame guy..

[PoorOldSpike]

Fluidwills Sherman fires on move and takes out Hetzer..
The gyrostabiliser did its stuff..

[PoorOldSpike]

Willow's Hetzer v Archer..
Amazingly my Archer wins the shootout.
Even though it has the same 17-pdr gun as the Firefly the vehicle is usually junk because it has to be driven in reverse all the time at snails pace (its gun points backwards) but this time it performed well, and later it killed a second Hetzer too..

[PoorOldSpike]

Fluidwill's arty barrage knocks out panzer
Here a largish-calibre shell is seen in the air descending like a smart bomb onto the top of the tank..
Inset = direct hit..
(All the dust in the air was kicked up by the barrage)

[PoorOldSpike]

Owl's schreck guy shoots while his pants burn..
But his shot fell short (white dotted line)
Three of the Sherms returned fire and he crawled back into the woods and vanished..

[PoorOldSpike]

Lord Bane's gun snipes Sherman..
The gun got another Sherm earlier, but not until now do I finally spot it, the Sher fired back and missed, it had its chance..
Note also how buildings don't always guarantee cover, as firers can squeeze off shots so close to them that they almost chip bits off the brickwork.

[PoorOldSpike]

Odies PzIVH goes head-to-head with Sherman 75mm..
My Sherm fired first and hit the jerry crate but the shot broke up (don't you just hate it when that happens?), and a second later the panzer fired back and it was hasta la vista baby (inset)..
