More nibbling. Germans are making a big push in the north which is probably going to become a problem.

US heavy arty completely on strike this turn (first time). May make pressing the R key more fruitful ...

It's not difficult to do well with German armour when there's no pesky bazookas about ...

<r>We continue to nibble at the Germans and their allies. Small contigents continue to make it across the central valley. We pop out of hiding and send them packing <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
The American arty is devastating. In H2H you don't see the casualties on the bombardment but I checked the unit ...

I have conceded my round 3 game against Cpt Shoe. He is going to be away for a while and I was losing badly anyway.

So that makes me 0/3. A learning experience ...

<r>Like I said this is highly experimental; vaguely inspired by the tank fight games. The basic idea is to see who can choose and use armour (and ammo) best but in a combined arms environment. Another aim is to make every unit "precious".<br/>

Jess I don't believe you Though the scen can work the other way around as well ... T-34 Jess?

bud is that the actual release of the new version of H2H or are you talking about the 7.1 OOBs?

<r>I would like to try an experimental type of game with me playing Soviets and someone else Germans. SPH2H, Dec 1944, C&C On.<br/>
<br/>
This will be a scenario which bypasses the normal purchase system. Historic ratings remain in effect.<br/>
<br/>
All I will say at this point is that you will ...

Don't know if this has already been discussed. In the current version some of the German Inf-AT weapons have a HE Pen value of 222. This number should go in the AP Pen value to re-direct the AP ammo to the HEAT slot.

I think ... ?

9 - 5 to Katz. Having problems in the northern sector, Jagdtigers are moving up to deal with it

Most of this turn was spent eradicating crewmen recon :rolleyes:

Running Total: Katz 107 Katkillerz 56

<r>Yes the guys on the southern flanking movement are not feeling too well. Still it is causing Gary to divert a substantial amount of his forces that would otherwise be beating me up elsewhere <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
Just trying to hold the line otherwise. Several Germans have made it across the ...

<r>I really enjoyed this. Bit of a mammoth undertaking though, early turns took a looong time.<br/>
<br/>
Like I said very educational. If I was playing the Soviets I would have definitely got a lot of SU-100s. Relatively cheap and the best gun they've got. Other than that I would have had at least ...

Best turn of the game for the Brits, 11 - 3. A nice way to end

sandman has one turn left to see what he can do with his few remaining tanks ...

<r>This scenario might also be sub-titled "Halftrack Arena" <E>;)</E> Loads of the things on both sides. It is nice to have .50 cals but as Gary says this is somewhat balanced by the German armour superiority.<br/>
<br/>
Fireflys back in action this turn. Won vs a StuG but lost vs a Kingtiger.<br ...

<r>6 - 2 to the Brits. <br/>
<br/>
I have been surprised with the number of kills from HEAT rounds carried by the close support tanks i.e. Churchill VIII and Sherman IB-CS (M4 105mm). These tanks can also be used as mobile arty for suppressive fire, which is nice <E>:D</E><br/>

3 - 0 to Brits. One of these kills was stupidly lucky. A bottom hit from a 105mm (M4) HE shell fired using the Z key. Never seen that before ...

Running Total: BR 128 SO 124

I'm sure this will be a draw according to the game but who will get more points?

1 - 1 again. T-34/85 for a Staghound.

Wonder if we can take the southern VHs ...

Running Total: BR 126 SO 124

<t>Our defense line did pretty well that go. Forces are now lined up on opposing ridges in most places, it's difficult to cross the valley between.<br/>

Allies continue to make their mad flanking manouver in the south. One HT down, lots more still going.<br/>

Note:<br/>

9 - 6 this time to Katz. German line is holding in all areas, slowly advancing in places.

Running Total: Katz 98 Katkillerz 51

<r>The last few turns show how Gary likes his infantry <E>:)</E> An endless stream of HTs, dismounting and assaults. Tanks only appear right at the end if my vehicles are still standing. Very effective stuff. I can only hope that at some point the German grunts run out of smoke so that I can shoot ...

Good turn for the Brits. 5 - 0, we're in the lead for the first time!
