It was some sort of opened topped TD,

you mean the LAS762 ?

and w/ maurader you meant "marder" !

the LAS762 seems to be a vehicle from the marder series...but quite useless if moved it seems.

turn resend.

Not too much ths turn, killed two AT guns up north and an Pz-III down south

[Frank W.]

we unconditionaly surrender to the british high command this turn !

reasons are we have no reeinforcements, our opp fire is bad, and tanks ( even tiger+panthers) that are moved some hexes doesn´t hit. rallying very bad....enemy has fought good, too.

final standings were

british: 16085
german : 9674

crushing defeat to germany due to surrender

also the game has a duration of 30 turns that´s too long for me fighting a only delaying battle...

It was a very good game and still could have gone either way, I have been killing lots of small things lately( you might be able to call some now)and I'm sure if you could have callled reinforcement it would be a different story.


In the North I suspect you where very thin and I have been pushing there with mech infanrty and foot infantry


In the center evertime I tryed to go in there I broke down too many shell holes too much fire, I had many broken vehicles and tank in that area ( well you killed most of the tanks that broke down)


In the south I think I had control of the Vhexs and was going to start pushing foward hard to tell though I know you had AA and AT in the area


I learned a couple of things from playing you and would like to play you in a H2H game, terms up to you. You completely devestaded my southern forces and I thought you were going to keep going and roll me over. Several of my Achilles were out of Ammo as well and heading to get resupplyed



Thanks for a good game my password was " Death " if you want to look at what I had. If you don't mind email me yours. You will be suprized I bet at how little I actually had.

[Frank W.]

you are a very kind person , thanx.

the south was problem, because i had shifted some forces from there to center so i could not continue my attack there, but i also was anxious of traps from you in the woods....

i had much immobilized vehicles, too. they broke without enemy action in woods and slopes. so i was a little frustred about that and i must say i had not the confidence in my troops that succesful commanders must have !

we can play a H2H game in 2 weeks or so. i will play russian or US , then.
