VikingNo2 versus Goblin!

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Mon Jun 17, 2002 8:23 am

Nashorns and a Jadapather trying to draw me into a shooting contest. I kill some infantry and lose some.

His 150mm hurting me it kills a M4Flame, tanks running due to Arty.

Still can't find the Jadatigers but they are out there. Still more Pz-IIIs out there ! Some unit are from the famous AUX brigade so I'm still Ok.

You'll find them soon enough...

You with those freakin' EIGHT INCH guns should talk!! Couldn't find an enemy Battleship to shoot up?!;)

I blew the gun off an HVSS, I think. Uh, that's all.

Still, I guess that's forward progress.:p

Goblin- A Goblin got rolled:mad:

Since it obviously does not matter what kind of armor I have, I am actively hiding them to keep them from being destroyed!;)

The center fight zone is a sight to behold. There are a few dead American vehicles, and dozens of dead/abandoned German ones. Viking#2 really hammered me good. Alot of those dead AFV's never even fired a shot.

King Tigers, Panthers, Sturmtigers, halftracks, they are all there. And alot of dead German infantry.

Goblin- A Goblin is still shaking:eek:

Whats left of my Airborn was wandering around the woods and what do you know two Nashorns hiding behind a hill, waiting to kill Shermans I bet. Infantry engauged the Nashorns scoring hits wth rifle and machinegun fire. The crews of the Nashorns were laughing at the Infanty, this however made them slow on the trigger, a M15 crested the hill exchaned point blank fire. The Nashorns return fire but the crews didn't have time to aim. The M15 scores hits but not kills. Next a Sherman crest the hill the Nashorns are out of shots. The crews in the Nashorn raise their hands in surrender but the crew of the Sherman didn't get their briefing on the Rules of War and turned the Nashorns into twisted metal and German hamberger.

Sadly a Hellcat saw the smoke and rushed to see what was going on, now they have given their life to the cause of freedom.

That HVSS crew just got some briefings, alright! 88mm briefings!:mad:

Its on now! Shooting the nice SS men as they surrender! Appalling, unheard of;) behavior!

Goblin- A Goblin is grim:mad:

Not much going on, Ok I give up where are the Jadatigers ? Found the Jadapanthers, my spiders sence tell me there bait with the Jadatiger laying a ambush maybe I should call for reinforcements I need recon. The battle in the middle did cost me alot in infantry. You still have Jadatigers,Jadapanthers, a least one panther, a Kongistiger and several Pz-IIIs very formidable

Huh? Whatever you just rattled off was German to me!;)

Not much this turn. Shot up one infantry unit. Surrender Horned Helmet!

Goblin- A Goblin pleads:mad:

Crested the hill with a Greyhound, got shot at by three Jadapanthers, one finally kill me. Got side shots and managed to kill two of the big cats, lost a M15 to something Big. Somesort of tiger I think, found some infantry they should be receiving some 60mm rain right about now. Got several frontal hits of another Jadapanther, just bounced off, hopfully I damaged it but I'm not counting on it.

Mr Goblin thinks I should surrender, I think I'll hold on a little longer:D

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Thu Jun 20, 2002 2:55 am

I think we both know who is holding on a bit longer...

My beloved Jagdpanthers! You bastard!:mad: Paybacks are in order!:mad: PAYBACKS!!

Goblin- A Goblin is writing the refund;)

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Thu Jun 20, 2002 9:09 am

Not much happened that turn, finally getting some recon reports.
found a Jadatiger and a Panther, now what to do about it

Germans trying to sneak around , 8 inch batteries starting to wake up, maybe I can pound that Big cat into submission.

Mr Goblin, please leave that tank in place, for some reason arty is taking a long time to call in ?

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Fri Jun 21, 2002 1:49 am

My turn is slow also. I suspect the Amerikaner has picked up the phone, and delays until help arrives!:(

No matter! I hope you issue each soldier his own black plastic, six foot zipper bag....

Goblin- A Goblin blows hot air;)

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Fri Jun 21, 2002 10:35 am

No, I have a problem call reinforce ment or chance it, there is a small hill with a kingtiger on it which covers the hill dominating the center of the map, that tank is coved by a Jadatiger and a panther on its right, and I suspect a jadatider and some Pz-IIIs on its left. I would say assault up the left but I can't see the Pz-IIIs on the southern part of the map

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Fri Jun 21, 2002 11:08 pm

I managed to kill an AB squad, and that was it. Those are inflatable dummy tanks, just come on in...

Goblin- A Goblin owns a pump:D

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Sat Jun 22, 2002 9:23 pm

Killed a Pz-III in the south, called in 60mm on them if I can kill the rest in the South I think I can flank his big tanks in the middle:D

His arty is alive and well:mad:

I did scrape some of the paint off a Jadatiger with some 60mm rounds:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Sun Jun 23, 2002 1:15 am

Real slow turn. Took some fire from an immobilized Hellcat, nuked a .50 cal squad with arty. VikingNo2, it is my recommendation that you surrender! I will still accept, I'm 'giving' like that.

Goblin- A Goblin is all give:D

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Sun Jun 23, 2002 2:49 am

Thankyou for your recomendation, your opioned is valued, NO!:) :p Two Kingtiger in the middle of the map

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Sun Jun 23, 2002 3:13 am

Try to be helpful...

Ah well, suppose we must fight on then...

Can either of us push this home?

Goblin- A Goblin ponders (***BONG***)

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Sun Jun 23, 2002 7:22 am

Several more turns have passed for both of us. I have surrendered! Let me be clear... I don't believe that Viking could have taken my rear objective hex. I think he will agree when he sees the map. I was not completely dry on forces.

Let me be clear again... He beat me, and dragging this out to get a draw via points is unfair to him. I have seen few players take advantage of terrain like this guy! It was a sight to behold!

My OOB:

3- VG Infantry Companies
3- 105mm Recoiless Platoons
1- PzIIIL Company
1- Platoon King Tigers
1- Platoon Sturmtigers
2- Platoons Panther g's
1- Mechanized Recon Company
3- Platoons SdKfz 251/21 SPAA
2- FO's
4- Snipers
3- Recon Platoons
2- Battalions 150mm FH
1- Battery 150mm FH

I yelled for help!

1- Platoon Jagdpanthers
1- Section Jagdtigers
1- Platoons PzIIIN CS Tanks
1- Section Nashorns
4- Keubelwagen MG's

I attempted to not overload on the heavy German armor, thus the IIIL's, which I semi-regretted during play. However, my heavies really didn't do well anyways! Viking tore them up, using combined arms well! Watch out if you play this 'Newbie'!

Nice Game, now lets kick some Marine butt in Coronet!

Goblin- A Goblin enjoyed!

After veiwing the map, the rear hexs where covered to well, I had just called reinforcements, but even with them trying to take the rear hexs would have been certian death.

I tried several time to get behind his forces, and never was able to get anything of substance back there.

Final Score

Germany 6459
US 15192

I'm new whit this OOB stuff

2 platoons of Hellcats
2 platoons of M4a3e8
1 platoon of M4A1 Flame
3 platoons of M8 Greyhounds
2 platoons of 57mm AT guns
1 Company of Airborn
2 Platoons of Mech Scouts
2 Btry of 8inch
1 Section of 4.5 inch rockets
1 Platoon of 90mm AT guns
2 Section af ammo carriers
5 Sections of 60mm Jeeps
2 Platoons of Mech Infantry

I think thats right
