sg did a "don't you hate it when..." a few days back. This is to you, sg...


Don't you love it when....

You get your airborne into perfect position in the town to cover the road, and they not only get the scout car, but close assault and kill two Tiger's!?

I love when my well hidden panzershreck (value 18 pts) take out a giant soviet tank (value from 120 pts to 200 pts)!:rolleyes:

I love when my MG42 wait an infantry squad and... kabooom ..... the infantry squad there isn't anymore:mad: !

Regards.

. . . a big old KV-1 rolls up to a German recon unit hiding in the woods, and the recon unit stuffs a grenade down the KV's hatch and turns it into a giant paper weight.

your engineer squad attacks a hex that 4 enemy squads have retreated into and takes them all out in one salvo....sweet!

Your arty actually lands on the enemy instead of on your troops.
You only have 1 mine placed on the whole map and an enemy tank finds it (kaboom).
Your partisan band inflitrates behind the lines and appears right beside the enemy A0 unit. (or those Wurfermen on top of ammo dumps)

... when you fire that heavy cannon into a hex clogged full of tanks, and one round *bounces* and kills two!

(Seen this multiple times. A "bounce" or light <?> hit sound effect, followed by *two* destrction effects. Text sez hits track #1, hits track #2, destroyed #1, destroyed #2. [As best I can remember.] I look at it as overpenetration. <G>)

When in MCLV the Soviets rush all there reserves to counterattack. My MG-34s simply cut them to pieces.

When my Ranger finally infiltrates on Turn 6 to be rewarded with a prime view of the northbound end of a southbound Centurion at 100m. M9 Bazooka - poof - no Centurion.

I just love when one of my motorcycle's "sneaks" in behind of enemy lines and destroy one tank, two infantry units and in the next turn takes the flags (and after that enemy tank shoots motorcycle drivers head of... ).

life can be fun...

When the plane that was heading staight for my Tiger Tank goes spiralling down and blows up!

Figmo

When my Marines are pinned down by a series of caves and I finaly discover where the that damm 90mm mortar is and I call in air support and the fly-boy plasters my only Tank!

When your 88 hit and kill the approaching T34 with the first shot from a distance of +20 and a hit percentage of 2.:p

When a battle actually unfolds as planned

...you get to overrun not one but two or even three Soviet squads with the same Pz IIIe on the same turn in MCLV!

When you just fired your last main gun round at a tank 6 hexes away and missed, so you fire your MG's at a gaggle of crewmen between you and they all pop smoke and shield you from the enemy tank.

When your sniper get a one shot kill on an enemy sniper on your first move of a scenario? Gotta love a real rifleman

When your at-gun kills 5 tanks in one hex during one turn :p

When defending Dubno against the Soviet horde, your FLIVO has out-driven Schumacher down the railway track to capture the "un-recapturable" hex, and then you go on to break the Ivans' morale in seven turns.

Game over. DV.

Don't you love it when.....

.....Platoon of enemy's Panthers crushes your T-34's. Think they are winning and drive to victory hex.... ......exposing their sides to ambushing battery of "Animal Killers", 'Zu Rodina'

BTW:This game needs a voise file for E-mail games;I for one would like to hear enemy commanders reactions after succeful ambush. Bet you would learn intresting new phrases in multiple languages.

When your Ranger squad, hunkered down in the trees at the tip of a forest, has a Centurion rumble up to 100m away in the open, stop and dismount a Bazooka team and an Assault squad.

(normally, this would be a bad thing, but ..)

Not being spotted (due to an oppfire range of 0) the Ranger unleashes his fury on the tank, sending the baz and shot-up squad running from the smoking hulk.

That's a 'Threefer', fer sure!!
