Grrrrr... flame rockets and Sturmtigers!:eek: Now that is really a nasty surprise for the MCs that took a hill in the north. In my turn, the killing continues, it's mostly an infantry fight so far.
I've killed one of my own MC squads

A nasty infantry fight developing
K62 I mde a mistake in my purchases, I bought something I should not have, I have a plt of Panther G Uhs, we can start over or continue. It was a mistake I guess I was buying to fast just letting you know incase you would like to start over. I have one plt of them
More recon and heavy recon fighting

Why is it a mistake to buy panther G Uhs?

If you want to start again it's fine, but I don't understand what you are talking about

The Panther G Uh can see through smoke, lots of people consider them unfair, lets continue.
We can alway start another one after this

OK, you also let me get that FO so I guess I owe you one

Just don't abuse them please... I already left a SU 122 in one's sights (sigh...)
The killing continues, the Russians advance through forests because the open ground is under observation from ATGs. It's funny how they fire at MCs and the MC stops to give the ATG a better shot :rolleyes:
He also fired Nebelwerfers at me last turn!

I think half of his arty is made up of rockets

And some of the rest is OB, like the 75 mm battery.
I'm beginning to see some of his bigger stuff out there... like Tigers, Panthers Uhu and Sturmtigers!!!

The Russians attack in mass pushing the Germans back in the north and south:(

It appears the attack in the north has broken to his rear area

My MCs destroyed an ammo truck and a mortar and fired on several more medium mortars

A Panther Uhu behind a hill got bombed, hopefully he'll hang around for a little while
In the south I can feel something brewing... :rolleyes: He counter-attacked a bit last turn and I expect a much bigger show now. In the center there's open space and it's overwatched by multiple ATGs, Tigers and Sturmtigers

Just so you know, buying companies of MCs is a little frowed on

Oh, sorry JJ, I didn't know that...

They just seemed like a good and cheap recon unit. Let's start again then, what do you say?

no sir, continue please

Well, as your infiltrators were no doubts able to see

, my MCs make up quite a small percentage of my total force, which is a balanced one. :rolleyes:
The Northern attack proceeds well, still not much opposition in its way. The Panther Uhu got away but I still killed an 88 mm ATG.
In the South I stalled after a rocket barrage which made half my force in the woods retreat and rout this turn

I was planning to move on after an arty barrage but I have to wait now to rally my troops.
And I got a squad of SpecOps in the backfield that was peeking at my IS-2s :rolleyes:
V2 has varied a few details in this game, but his main strategy has remained the same. He didn't attack in the beginning, like he said he would. He is patient - as always - until he feels he can start rolling over my positions.

Not much trying to reorganize

Now mr. Viking I was wandering a bit through the woods with one of my infiltrators and ran into some AUX troops

Perhaps you could care to explain what were they doing there since this is just turn 8 and they've obviously been around for awhile?
I'm also beginning to see why people don't like the Panther Uhus and the truth is, you don't need more than one platoon of them. They have already claimed most, if not all, of your AFV kills as they are spread out nicely on the map and shoot at a big distance through multiple smoke hexes. Maybe I am just plain old stupid, but I can't figure out any way getting passed the one in the north that is just behind a thick smoke screen.
So, all in all, I'd say this game is not that much fun anymore, wouldn't you agree? I will even surrender since you seem to like winning so much. Thanks for all the lessons you've taght me so far, but this is one I think I will skip.:rolleyes:

It was a AUX transport, kinda like you needing a FO, I have no AUX troops, or tanks, or arty, I figured out that I had nothing to move my 88s with so since you needed a FO I said noproblem and bought a couple of transports for my 88's after you ask to buy a little something.
I tried to tell you about the Panther G Uhs I can't do anything about OP Fire
You can have my passwaord and look for yourself if you wish:(
I didn't think the game was going well either.
I hope you don't believe I was trying to cheat you

The reason I didn't attack is because I was being swarmed under
The winning comment was a little low, I like to win yes. Do I like to lose ? No. I think that puts me in with most!

Sorry for the winning comment, I read it again and it does sound a bit awkward. I was just worried on the moment since you said nothing about you getting reinforcements early as well and I bumped into some. It made me wonder how many you actually got :rolleyes:.
I mean, I did tell you about my FO and even asked if I could get it, you could at least have mentioned you were going to get some as well.
I didn't know it was only 4 vehicles, they don't upset the balance of power then. But the Uhus do

They're awfully cheap for what they can do.
So I said let's end this game, if you care about winning it then I would surrender, my password was K63, and maybe start another one right and discuss a bit before of what is acceptable and what is frowned on.
I guess I care more about having fun than about winning

But those Uhus are all but invincible and spoil all the fun :rolleyes:

Correct when I realized that I had them I did't think we could go on, but short of turning there weapon off there is nothing I can do to stop there op fire.
How about a British vs German early war desert battle I will be the British.
Or a Italy vs British battle your call
Or you set somethng up and let me know
