Tigers everywhere. This turn I ran for my life. I lost yet another IS-3 to a shot in the back.





Tiger Family Picnic

The russian armored force has had its back broken. At the end of his turn another is-3 falls victom and now as the smoke clears a 34/85,a isu-152, and two is-3's lie smoking in the sun. Now it is the russians turn to sweat as the german armor roars toward them. Nervous enginers smoke cigs and wonder if tommorow will come for them.

I have one IS-3 and one OT-34 left. My engineers have their targets picked out. This is going to be close. I think he has more Tigers than I have flamer ammo.

Lady luck smiles on the russians as at the end of thier turn rockets destroy a elephant. Later luck smiles apon them again as 3 king tigers bog down in the river. Though the luck only goes so far and his supposed last is-3 is ripped apart from 8.8 shells. The force of IS-3's and thier support witch had once tearorized the germans have now been reduced to blackened burning hulks. The god's of war have smiled apon us but the road ahead is long and dangerous. God speed us all home to our familys or let us die with honor.

My Flambe torched a park Elephant. Engineers and heard the rumbling of Tigers coming.

Tiger falls victim to a enginer squad who then runs from the scene. Only 4 turns no and we are down in points any minute now his relife will show up I must rush the occupyed hexes in order to win but I will lose a lot of men hummmm what to do??

I lose my Flamer and kill a Tiger. Karma?

Two more tigers fall to the same fate. Thats what i get for not mortating the hill first!! Die and learn. This is going to be close even with the tide of the battle turned with him runnin he might be able to win. If he can hold that hill for 3 turns------ this will be close

A T-44 fires at two mortar crews foolishly set up in his sight. They become pinned and don't get to fire this turn. My sole remaining IS-152 starts climbing the hill to get a shot at the aproaching Tigers, when the vlasted engine quites. Oh well its up to op-fire now. Kill Tigers!

Tightening my grip on the hill i kill some inf. Come underfire from three replacment is-3's. They will probably claim one tiger but help is on the way and I should be able to deal with them long enough to take the hill. Still with two turns left this is going to be close. Amazing that 10 turns back i was looking atdefeat. War is a strange thing.

I kill a Tiger and lose about ten men as a Sturmtiger shell lands in the engineers midst.

Got my armor up the hill with more comin. I have a is-3 to my south on the hill top and a isu-152 on the east of the hill top at the east base of the hill are three is-3's pumping shells at my tigers i belive i have 4 up to to sturigers and three elephants on there way up last turn coming up this is going to be close.

Sleep dep is affecting my typing thats four tigers, two sturmtigers we have been up all night fighting it has been a long battle and it looks like a draw. We will be up again in the coming nato battle where we will clash again over the course of 4-14 senerios should be good reading for you folks stay tuned!!

A blasted Tiger survives a flamthrower, satchel charge and several grenades!! My IS-3s might be able to retake the hill.

Inow hve control of the hill destroyed the two enemy tanks on it i now have over 6 or 7 tanks on the hill. He has two Is-3 comin in and the three still out east though closer now he may be planing to rush with all hes got. There is alot of smoke on the hill both good and bad for me. Its all now or never I has one turn left.

I charge three IS-3s onto the hill losing one. A sturmtiger fired supression them all. Bland ending for a good battle.

Rushing though the smoke storms three suicidal IS-3's they are quickly destroyed as my forces move down his side of the hill. I can see his rockets in the distance but lucky for him he is saved by the bell as the game is over. It has been a long 10 hours the tides of this battle have changed often. Here are the final stats.
