I have opinion only on german vehicles...

<t>I haven't really decided what is with the other nations but with the germans my favourite is: SkZfd 251/1.<br/>
<br/>
Stuh42 costs 70pts, The Sdkfz 251/9 with short 75mm gun costs 48 pts, Sdkfz 251/1 with two AAMGs costs mere 24 points.<br/>

It's cheap as a soap and pretty fast moving.<br ...

Thank you guys for nice report.

This was a fun thread to read thru. If I could only have the map available so that I could track the happenings locations.

This really inspired me to try this scenario sometime (I play mostly generated battles).

Battle is over...

<t>Gorzag decided to give up. I was out of town and Gorzag had a week to ponder about the decision. The game ended so that I found the lone british HQ and managed to move my units one hex away from last hex patch.<br/>

Gorzag congratulated me for a very good match. He liked (hated) especially ...

It is a massacre

<t>Another turn with no report from Gorzag. Can't really blame him, I know how he must feel...<br/>

Germans took control of the large middle hill and secured the vhexes far southwest (not yet but there are no one in defence). The remaining pocket of resistance is the vhex patch far south.<br ...

About remanning the vehicles

<t>Abandoning a vehicle and popping smoke with the crew is a tactic I use quite a lot. Lets say I have a situation that I have some explensive AFV sitting in plaing sight of enemy tanks and I suspect that they sill blow my tank. I drive a cheap recon vehicle in front of it, bail out and pop smoke ...

Nothing big happening... it is turn 11

<t>Hey gorzag!<br/>

If this is getting too frustrating why don't you order some reinforcements so that you have something else to do than just watch me mop up the infantry? (We agreed at start that no reinforcements)<br/>

The battle has entered quiet phase

British turn.

British colonel was so stunned at the strength and determination of german forces that he had absolutely nothing to say.

degeneration of threads

I find it pretty amusing... Every thread, no matter what is the original subject, somehow with some strange twists turns into this "My katz will come and eat your heads! - No but my M4 ruulz!" debate.

How do you do that?! :p

All is lost

<r>I must congratulate Teräspantteri for a very well played game. His artillery skills are exceptionally good, best what I've ever played against.<br/>

20 turns I hang in there, Crushing defeat. He got my HQ.<br/>

Another turn of nothing...

Marines just try to keep their heads down. Japanese try to find the remaining enemy soldiers... still few pockets of resistance remains.

Reinforcements?! :eek: FFS, I knew I forgot something... Well, I guess it is all too late now.

Somewhat quiet turn...

<t>Colonel was watching from a distance as his troops reorganized for another assault. The secondary objective was to storm the enemy defense lines along the big hill south of the village, those 3in 20cwt AA's posed too much threat to be ignored.<br/>
