Goblin vs VikingNo2 II

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Tue Jul 02, 2002 12:20 am

There was a Tiger in that 300m box, so I threw some real arty there this round, not just probing shots.

The naked hill in the center is warming up now, despite Viking's premonitions of a trap. My M4 actually hit that darn JpzIV first! BONK. 'Uh-Oh. Back us up! BACK US UP!!'. KaBOOM!

Goblin- A Goblin didn't shift gears quick enough;)

His arty comimg in heavy and often:eek:

Killed another M4 with the same Tank Destroyer:p :p

Rolling trunder is starting to wear down the troops the only good thing is the map is so wooded that his infantry can't be very close or he dies with me, I think thats good

The biggest problem so far is I'm in a arty duel with the US, very few win that duel:(

And I am in a one sided tank duel with the Germans. We're even!;)

Oh boy. He hasn't even engaged me with his heavies, and I'm down two tanks. Its a JpzIV/70. I still have to face Tigers! If they show their faces, I'll nuke them.

Lots of enemy infantry on that big, treeless trap-er, hill- in the center. Directed most of my guns on it to 'sterilize' it. Elsewhere, my OB 155mm batteries score multiple kills in that 300m box. I have spotted two JpzIV's now, and taken them under light mortar fire. I suspect one may be the killer.

Goblin- A Goblin plays Columbo;)

Not much this turn pounded by arty:mad:

Short range shoot outs, SS versus my Engineers, were very productive for the SS.

There are a few more empty German MC's.

Caused a 3 casualty hit on an Engineer unit! My engineer unit.

Those 149mm guns are ferocious! I know he is saving some 210mm too...

Afraid to move! If you are seen anywhere, you get nuked!

Goblin- A Goblin is not courageous:(

Uh-oh!!:eek: One of my scouts got in an excellent viewing position. I see at least 3 Tigers, two Panther G's, and two different JpzIV/70's! And some recon 1/2tracks, and some regular 1/2tracks.

They have all been nuked. However, so have my guys by massed 149mm rounds! I'm convinced they are 150mm now, from barrel wear.

Goblin- A Goblin wishes he hadn't looked

Strumtiger took care of our uninveted guest:mad:

Spotted and killed that M4 Flame up Norther and beat up the Infantry that was with it, I suspect the Tank destroyer that did it will not live long.

Last round I believe my 149s CB his 155s, I Hope:D

That JpzIV did NOT live long. Still, the bastard did its job.

I hate Italian 149mm guns!:eek:

Scattered arty launched that time. Not much sighted, and I was able to rally some of my troops, and actually got some to move! Look out, Kraut!

Goblin- A Goblin gets out his bugle:D

You're about to see some more, baby!:mad:

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 10:06 am

Killed two M10

Rangers showing up in force:eek:

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 6:18 pm

Nuked a CRAPLOAD of German heavies of all varieties! They are coming for me! I will not back down! Charge!

Goblin- A Goblin is gallant;)

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 7:49 pm

Charge is right:eek:

My infantry stumbling around the woods with blood coming from their ears, ran into all kinds of armor:eek:

Goblin Arty is winning the Arty Duel:mad:

Found more rangers, hit them with T34 rounts 20mm, 13mm, 8mm, 88mm, 75mm, and a engineer squad stuck thier toung out at them:p

THEY still survive, thay are running but They SURVIVE:mad:

PLEASE DIE:mad:

Ok, I set turns at 30, and the game ignored me, of course. When I noticed last round, I went all out ahead. Up until now, we were at a level of constant small skirmishing, without much armor involved.

The boiler just exploded! Over a dozen tanks died this round in a short range slaughter for both sides! A Panther kills a Wolverine, is hit by his companion M10, shoot back and misses, then is flanked and killed by a Sherman. Another Wolverine dies at the hands of a Tiger, which is gunned down by its squad mate, who is killed by a second Tiger. On and on and on.

This last round or two is gonna be exceptionally viscious!:mad:

Goblin- A Goblin walks thru the valley...

Goblin's got that right, I score kills on several M10, and a M4(E8)
I lost a Panther to a M10, the rangers and T34s are in heavy battle at the rear hexs The Humanity!!!!!!

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 11:00 pm

My last turn. Turn 23. Twenty one turns of small firefights, and two turns of utter chaos!

I killed a few Tigers, a Panther (or two?), a JpzIV (or two?), and a Sturmtiger. They answered back with a couple of their own. A Ranger unit assaulted one of his Italian Armored Cars several times. They just kept going back until the job was done!

Viking's turn should end it. When he sends the files and password back to me, I will post my OOB.

Goblin- A Goblin compliments his foe;)

Its over. The comp says 'draw'. I say VikingNo2 won, and so do the points!

American losses: 608 men, 29 AFV's.
German losses: 558 men, 2 arty, 10 soft vehicles, 5 APC's, 17 AFV's.

USA-8080
Germany-10581

Thats 2500 points more than me!

My OOB-

1-M4A1(76)W Company
3-M4A1 Flame Tank Sections (6 tanks)
3-M10 Wolverine Sections (6 TD's)
3-Airborne Companies
3-Engineer Companies
4-Ranger Platoons
3-M12 155 SP Platoons
1-M39 Ammo Carrier Platoon
1-M16 SPAA Platoon
2-FO's
1-Section M3 Scout Cars

I went light on the M10's because the map was heavily wooded. If Viking had bought a huge amount of infantry, they would have been useless.

I yelled for help.

3 M10 Wolverine Platoons
6-Scout Teams (2 man)

I know he will decline, but he won it! Nice job!

Goblin- A Goblin was beaten:(

If the pace of the game would have continued I think it would have been a Draw, the arty would have evened the game for Mr Goblin, and probaly had me calling for reinforcements soon.

Mr Goblin Here is a challenge you might like, very large map, 1949, you can buy from whom ever you want 16,000 pts, no strike aircraft, 2000pts Arty.

Terms are negotiable A Goblin likes many Toys
