squirmer takes the Kats....
M4 Jess has his baby's:D
Massive tank fight!
No Arty, no Infantry, only Tanks!
(anything from the Armor page)
(I could not buy a Battle Group or a Armored Cav unit, because these units have Infantry type units attached)
20K, Xtra Large Map, 35 LOS, 30 Turns, Weather Clear at Noon.
Lets Rock!:mad:

This is something else. I have 166 AFVS, Jess must have more!
Map is random and 100x160 in size. The usual mix of hills, woods etc. VHs are end of battle and not worth much in comparison to the forces arrayed.
I could have been lame and just bought as many KTs as possible with the points. I didn't do that but it's still a formidable force.
Jess is a brave man, even with APCR ammo

Across the line....the order goes out
"TANKERS...START YOUR ENGINES!"
as my recon moves out only one thought goes through my mind,"This will be one hell of a fight!:mad: "
Turn 1

Katz 5 Kat Killerz 0
Damage to US vanguard in south and centre. 2 Hellcats, 2 Scotts and 1 Greyhound die. Most of this by boring old Pz IVs ...
That only leaves about 250 US tanks to go (at a guess)!
Great idea for a game

Jess did well on his turn. Four Pz IVs died in exchange for 5 more US tanks. The Germans came back with a vengeance though with hidden TDs doing a fair amount of damage as well as the offensive Panther and Pz IV squadrons.
Score:
This turn (both players combined) - Katz 18 Katkillerz 4
Running Total - Katz 23 Katkillerz 4
I'm a little bit worried since all I've seen so far are Greyhounds, Scotts, M4 105mms and Hellcats. That means the more dangerous beasties are still all hiding.

It most certainly is cool!
Once again Jess did well on this turn, with honours about even ... And once again Germans do well on their turn. Especially with the Big Katz managing to take out 2 Jacksons which were lurking in the suburbs of a town to the US rear.
Score:
This turn (combined) - Katz 17 Katkillerz 7
Running Total - Katz 40 Katkillerz 11

M4s (or M26s) win a turn. Pershings gang up on exposed Kingtigers and eventually get two side hits. Nice one

Looks like this was the last turn of the Germans picking off the exposed Americans. We'll have to go looking for them from now on
5 - 1 combined score. Pz IVs take on Jacksons and win 2 - 1!

Lots of pesky crewmen running around now ...
