You guessed right, some lend lease, some captured in previous engagements

Good way to piss the Americans off, you don't think they'd want those back? Heh, I suppose they can have them back...if they can repair them.

they can have them back, they'll just need to come and get them

Your hoste Bob and his ever faithful side kick Dick. Well Dick this is sure been an exciting game so far. Team USA is certainly turning up the heat now. If seems that a Platoon of M4's is more important than 2 company's of Rangers. Did you see them fly in and take on thoughs T34's.
I certainly did Bob. What a show. What a show. Team USA took out another I believe three T-34's in the last few minutes. Along with more dead horses the casualties are really starting to "mount" up for team USSR.

Yes Dick but team USA has not escaped without a scratch they lost a M8 Greyhound and a M10 Wolverine. But the initiative has definetly swayed to team USA now controlling all of the Victory hexes in the middle of the map. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we talk about the merits of using foriegn equipment on local soil.

The M4 decided to play hide and seek but AT guns didn't . They bravely setup in the open and now they are searching through their prayer books.

I am your host Bob and with me as always is Dick. Well Dick what an exciting game so far. Team USSR came back with a vengence last turn and took out two squads of Rangers and two 3 inch ATG's.
Yes Bob but it certainly did cost them for ignoring those M4's and M8 Stagehounds. Team USA came right back and took out 2 more T-34's and a M10 Wolverine. Those Rangers are certainly taking a toll on Team USSR's armor. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we discuss the merits of leaving a T-34 in the same hex as a suppressed unit of Rangers!!!:D

Those Rangers are pretty bad.

Well as I wished I hadn't wasted my Wolves on such meager targets as Greyhounds, the opportunity was just too great to miss. Also I was itching to avenge some of my erlier losses. In the north a few Greyhounds with Ranger support got carried away trying to take out my Wolverine so they surrounded it and pounded away. But the trap door shut right behind them as my reserve Wolverine platoon jumped out and finished them off like rag toys. Result: 5 Greyhounds, 2 Halftracks. So those M4 better bring some infantry with them if they want to get through. The game is just beginning, I admit I lost a few pieces already but it's just noe getting interesting.

I am your host Bob and with me is Dick. Well did Team USSR certainly punched the light out on Team USA over the last few minutes. But Team USA is not out they accounted for another 2 T-34's and a Wolverine this round.
They certainly did Bob, Team USSR needed a round like that very badly but in my estimation I think Team USA is still way in the lead. Lets look at the armor score board shall we.
Here we see Team USA losses
.....................M8 GreyHound....Halftracks .........M10 Wolverines
Team USA.............6 .........................2.........................1

And here we look at Team USSR losses
............................T-34...................M10 Wolverines
Team USSR............10...............................2

What an explosive show eh Bob. You think just when Team USA has it in the bag Team USSR makes a huge come back play.
Yes Dick and I think we are still in for some great play with Team USSR still fielding 7 Wolverines and 3 T-34's that is a lot of armor for Team USA to deal with with only one Platoon of M4's.
It certainly is Bob and what an exciting show this is for our veiwers. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we discuss the appropriate time to request reinforcements.

reinforcements?! wow, that's cool, may be I'll get to blow more M4 and Greyhounds.

the wolverines finally got to taste some M4 meat and tasted good. bring on the reinforcements and we'll see, there are a lot of things going so let's see if Bod and Dick can figure it out.

Gary Tatro · Post by **Gary Tatro** » Mon Jul 15, 2002 4:15 am

I am your host Bob and with me as ussual is Dick. Well Dick it looks like Team USA is some missing finish. They did manage to kill one crew of a T34 that poped out. But all they managed to do this turn besides that was to kill a couple of thier own M4's.
Yes Bob I do not know what Team USA's Captian was thinking but he sure put on the dunce cap trying to take out though's Wolverines. If this keeps up we could always start covering Mojo vs Timetanker. Well that is all the time for today. Join us next time when we discuss the merits of playing the USSR and taking all American Equipment.:p

Sideline: Wolverines come standard in USSR setup as a tank destroyer, no additional nation equipment switching is required.

red · Post by **red** » Wed Jul 17, 2002 2:35 am

I lost a Wolverine but finished of 2 AT guns and made some brave Rangers back off for awhile.

Gary Tatro · Post by **Gary Tatro** » Wed Jul 17, 2002 5:22 am

I am your host Bob and with me as usual is Dick. Well Dick what an impressive display of combined arms we just saw by Team USA. Rangers come running out of the smoke to assualt Wolverines left and right. While the Wolverines are busy fending off the Rangers the three remaining M4's edge forward out of the smoke. The Wolverines not knowing wether to fire at the M4's blasting at them or the Rangers assulting them all end up as slag.
You said it Bob what was that, two Wolverines lost to Ranger assualts, one T-34 to a Bazooka and two other Wolverines to the M4's. Team USSR made a Classic, I say again, a Classic mistake to not have infantry support for his tanks.
Yes sir, Dick that is certainly a no, no. Especially agaist Rangers. I am sure Team USSR's captain has learned a leason he won't soon forget. That is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we discuss the merits of taunting your opponent and SCORING a HIT.

red · Post by **red** » Wed Jul 17, 2002 9:01 am

How can I describe it? I guess, PAIN is the best word. Since I'm running low on infantry support, Gary skillfully destroyed several of my AFVs.

Well, the gloves have come off. If I'm to go down, I will take as many US points with me as I can. Today we are serving Ranger special as the southern defence gets decimated by T-34s. Again, compliments to the skill of my opponent who positioned several AT guns covering the southern vhexes, they almost stopped my advance.

Gary Tatro · Post by **Gary Tatro** » Thu Jul 18, 2002 5:31 am

I am your host Bob and with me all the time is my friend Dick. Well Dick it is really starting to get ugly down there for Team USSR who lost another two T34's and a Wolverine in the last few minutes.
Yes Sir Bob though's M4's are really starting to make themselves know now capping three tanks this round. I don't know about you but if I were the Captian of Team USA I would be wondering if Team USSR has some type of spanning technoligy or something. But if we see many more tanks I would start to get scared.
Yeah Dick lots of armor. Though team USA did not escape last round untouched they lost almost a platoon of Rangers. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we discuss the merits of losing a Platoon of Rangers versus a Platoon of Wolverines!

Gary Tatro · Post by **Gary Tatro** » Mon Jul 22, 2002 12:33 am

I am your host Bob and with me as always is my friend Dick. Well Dick it looks like things are starting to wind down for Team USSR. The poor team Captian got caped this turn by Team USA, that is right fokes the USSR HQ was taken out this turn along with another T-34, two tank crews and the last two SO calvery squads.
Yeah Bob did you see that play. What an insult. Team USA had Team USSR kill there own HQ. Drove a half track up onto the HQ and then shot at the HQ missed and Team USSR's own Wolverine while shoting at the half track killed off the remaing men in their own HQ.
Ouch that is certianly got to sting. Well it certianly looks like the end is near for Team USSR. With the last T-34 retreating and only two Wolverines left they are going to be hard pressed. Especially now that Team USA's reinforcements just arrived. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we discuss the merits of leaving your HQ out in the open.

Hmmm, things aren't looking good but as my favorite SPWAW saying goes:"Fight to the last tank!" One M4 burning and a Ranger squad running.

Gary Tatro · Post by **Gary Tatro** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 1:27 am

I am your host Bob and standing in for Dick today is Jerry. Well Jerry not much happening down there in this last round. The "Ivans" drove up from behind a hill and took one shot at the front of an M4 and bomb. Dead M4. Well looks like Team USA's luck might be turning.
I don't know about that Bob it has been a good battle so far and the Ivans are bound to get lucky every now and then.
True --- True. Care for a beer.
Sure. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we discuss the merits of taking your own advice.
