I think Stephen Ambrose mentioned this in one of his books. The Long Tom was brought up, the infantry backed away, the Long Tom said BOOM, and when the dust settled the artillery captain said, "There ya go." The infantry looked at the bunker still apparently intact and said, "You sure 'bout that?" The artillery captain said, "Hey...anyone left alive in there ain't doing anything for days!" And they didn't!

(This is, of course, a paraphrase.)

Moment of Truth is probally one of the best scens in the game. The first one I played.(probally because its at the top of the list)
I choose to play as the Russians and man what a battle!! Had one concrete bunker that was surrounded for like 5 turns and kept rallying to take shots. Gotta love that Soviet desire!! Try playing the Soviets it will keep you on the edge of your seat. Also try Redlegs Bridgehead scens from the Soviet side. another nail biter. BTW I got a draw in MOT the Jerrys never got to my rear VHs. Thanks Wild Bill for a GREAT scen!!
