Losqualo vs. Cyr, P!ss!ng off the Guards (scenario by Jess)
Losqualo and I are going to batter eachother in the M4 JEss Scenario 'P!ss!ng off the Guards'. I will play the Russian Guard troops defending, and Los will play the SS Panzerkampfgruppen attacking the town.
May the best dictator's troops win haha

OH MY GOD
At first I have to say: This thing is crazy 
, at least for me. Having only played long campaigns over and over with nearly the same core force everytime, I totally lost track of where, who and why I am. This thing is so huge I'm almost lost, but I'll try my best. But in my next life, I swear, my first PBEM scenario will be a little one.
That said, I want to thank M4 Jess for a hopefully great new experience. And you wanted a DAR, and you'll get one.
GenMaj Losqualo was terrified. Being used to have organized elite troops under his command, he looked over the poor remains of the once proud Wehrmacht. No Tigers to be seen, no heavy artillery, only a few pieces of small calibers. They even fired an artillery barrage without orders! But since he had agreed to Col. Housleys proposal, he would try his best. Slowly he turned away from the terrifying scene and began to write in his war diary.
My poor troops. After the first steps they bumped into a hidden bunker. A frozen Infantry platoon even misunderstood the shooting as an invitation for a cup of tee and entered happyly the enemy bunker. Judging from the smoke, they changed their mind but I'm afraid it was too late.
Some other bunkers fired at my troops, those heroic soviets even managed somehow to destroy an Opel Blitz!
At least we managed to destroy one of their bunkers without any losses. But I'm afraid the soviets might have some more nasty surprises for us...
Cyr, I can't attach the file
, I 'll send it to your e-mail adress

I got it.. however.. I am getting a security override error??? And if I continue, I get your turn? I tried to delete the old email3 files but does anyone know what is going on (I had similar problems earlier on, and I fixed it somehow, but I don't know what's going wrong now?).
Edit: Please be very careful you dont overwrite old zipfiles, Los, they tend to get corrupted. Also, did you end your turn proper?

strange
If I want to open that file, I also get the security override error. I think it has to do with oob's. I made a fresh install of SPWAW to use for PBEM and installed the 7.1x oob's (the one's dated 07.04.2002).
After the override I'm aked for the soviet PW. I'll zip them again and send them again.

"Sir, komrade commander Hohlov at the western outpost reports enemy movement around his bunker, sir!"
The Russian fieldcommander looks up from his maps.. "Prepare to defend the town! I want all Guard officers alerted! Get to it!"
Runners are sent in every direction in the streets of Szekesfehervar as the word of the eminent attack spreads along the men. The town becomes a bees nest as soldiers seek out their posts and get ready for the German advance. Tanks roll down the streets, ammunition is gathered, guns are made ready..
After a short while, lieutenant Budeny of the KV85 squad coming in from the north reports he has made contact with the German troops. He has opened fire on them, but without any result.
The Russian fieldcommander looks sternly at his orderlies and officers "This is it. They are coming.."

Turn 2
The war diary of GenMaj Losqualo continues:
My dear diary, I want to go home to mom and have a cup of chocolate.
Just when I thought my troops would be better than I thought, my staff seargent came in and poured hot tea all over me. Because of that accident I couldn't see if my mortar fire has hit their tagets or if they fired at all. (Q: is it normal that I can't see any arty firing?)
And as if my uniform wasn't already wet enough, suddenly some KV-1's came around and fired at some harmless recon troops that were just minding their own business and trying to warm up a bit.
Surely one of my StuGs had it's main gun frozen and couldn't fire.
At least we were able to destroy two log rifle pits. On the other hand we spotted some rather frightening things and I don't know how we should ever be able to enter that city.
If only mom was here.

Several bunkers fall to the German onslaught this turn..
"Sir.. komrade Hohlov is no longer responding sir!" the Russian radio operative informs his commander. "Hmm.. they've broken through parts of our outer perimeter.. Dispatch some troops to deal with it!" The southwestern sector may be in trouble soon..
Meanwhile, south of town, near hill 136 a bunker is blown up by German attackers. But as soon as the Germans emerge from the smoking remains they note the Russian Armor on the horizon.. and a Panzer IV is blown skyhigh by a well aimed shot from a heavy self propelled gun! More fire is laid upon the Germans as other armor arrives in the form of a platoon of T34/85's!
In the nearby quiet Star-sahalom woods Lt Bunin reports from his bunker that he has sighted several German infantry units and that he has engaged in a firefight. The Germans suffer a few casualties and are pinned down for the time being.
In the northwest, Lt Budeny falls back with his KV1s to wait for infantry support. Artillery fire covers his retreat, though none of them actually hit something by the looks of things.

Turn 3
My dear diary,
I have great news! I found a dry uniform!
Since Col. Housley brought me some binoculars I am now able to watch my artillery firing. He really is a nice guy. The next time I meet Col. Housley I'll invite him to a beer or two. And give him the binoculars back. Watching our artillery firing is worse than not to see it. I'll have to teach them how to aim as soon as possible.
In an heroic effort our troops managed in the NE sector to frighten the bolshewik KV-1's so they retreated. But the log rifle pit over there is still intact.
I had to give orders to my drivers not to drink any vodka anymore. In front of my tent there are heaps of angry hungarians wich lost apparenty some of their furniture due to halftracks driving through their houses. I told them those were Shermans trying to hide but they didn't believe me.
In the south we managed to destroy a T-34, but in return I lost a second Pz IV H. Loosing tanks at that rate we soon have to walk to Moskow. I wrote a letter to Stalin to protest against that unfair way of fighting. I'm looking forward to his reply.
But it was fun to see a russian SPG firing his whole gun barrel in our direction instead of only the shell.
A few minutes ago I heard the beloved sound of a Maybach engine! A Tiger! But soon I recognized the sound of the Maybach HL 120 TRM engine. The Tiger was a Pz III L, a type that was last built 1 1/2 years ago. I didn't even knew there were som left. Apperantly the OKW has decided to clean their showrooms and send the vehicles in my direction.
The Pz III L had nothing better to do than to drive at full speed towards a waiting T-34. The shot of the T-34's main gun missed, but the MG salvo hit the Pz III's smoke dischargers and fired them. The very reason why we don't have smoke dischargers on our Tigers anymore.
Some of my troops don't understand my orders. I order them to assault an enemy log rifle pit, but thy decide to set up a camp. Judging from the smoke they are preparing some food. As soon as I finished writing I'll go over and see if there's some food left.
It seems the russians are freezing also. Since they used the handles of their axes as firewood, they now have to chop wood with heavy mortars. Since the chopped wood is now in our sector, I've sent an Infantry platoon over to collect wood.
As I watched my retreating troops, the only thing in our army that still works, the Luftwaffe, arrived. A Stuka managed to damage a KV-85 and to convince the crew to leave the vehicle.
