My most memorable was a D-Day landing against Rick Borovec (BORO). I had set the visibility to 15, but by one of those 'flukes' it was 50 when the battle began (probably because I changed the weather setting). When I told Rick about this situation he was a trooper and wanted to continue. By another 'fluke' SPWAW supplies LVT's (instead of Higgins boats or LCVP's) to US infantry in amphibious battles after 1/44...and unlike the other landing craft, LVT's can be destroyed with one shot!

On my first turn I could see his entire landing force, and the 88mm and 75mm AT bunkers I arrayed along the beach (remember, they have better fire control and huge ammo loadouts) had a field day! The way those LVT's disappeared looked just like ducks dropping in a shooting gallery! I'd estimate 1/3 of his troops wound up on the bottom of the channel before he ever set foot on the shore.

My first game with Goblin taught me a whole new respect for cheap infantry.

He'd arrayed several companies (~6) of SO Conscripts in deep woods as a road bump against my advancing Italians. This slowed my advance to a crawl as I had to stop a deal with each and every one of those squads. His men would die and fall back, I'd press forward, they'd die and fall back, I'd press forward, they'd die, etc. I just couldn't get enough shots off each turn to move more than 2-3 hexes.

While I'm diddling with his web of infantry, he hit me across a 3 hex front with ALL of his armor. I held him for a while, but too many tanks and not enough shots from me didn't slow him for long. In two turns he had 2 companies of T-34s in my rear and one move away from my artillery park. His losses were high, but the advantageous position he'd acquired made it more than worth it.

I was reeling. It was quite a remarkable maneuver. Since that game, I've revised my force compositions substantially. Thanks, Gob. :p

IIRC, it was 10 Conscript companies. My plan actually involved them doing better than they did...:rolleyes: The weight of my armor carried the day despite the poor performance of the infantry.

Belisarius, you haven't had your a$$ handed to you by me yet! All of our games were nail biters, and not pushovers!

My most memorable moment was the day I discovered Ski Troops were UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY WORTHLESS!!!!!!!! I was facing Orzel and he had heavy armor and mines up the wazoo, and guess what ski troops cannot do?! Remove mines or close assault a tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

I had taken no other infantry of any note or number.

Goblin

I remember that!
