I lost very very few vehicles in the final scenario while killing almost all of the Russian armor including the T-34's. What I didn't have time to do was roll up through the middle of the town and reduce the isolated Russian infantry. If it weren't for what was possibly the worst streak of bad luck I've ever had in a game, I would have come out of the thrid scenario with a better point total and a solid second place in my division. Seeing as I inflicted more damage but got a lower percentage, I'm guessing that Messrs. Sgt Gold & Walpurgis did not send an entire Pz 38 platoon, one StuG and part of an infantry platoon to their death like I did ]

I'll play test if you need another player.

I'm still waiting for MrSpkr to send me my start up turn. I've been back from vacation for a week and haven't been able to get the game started.

I'm in. E-amil sent.

It appears that most of Section 2-4 has dissapeared. Where are you guys?

I would like to play in the torunament. I think I'm in good standing from the last ROW tpurnament in CMBO.

The actual number isn't as easy to come up with as realizing that almost every company of infantry had a heavy weapons platoon. The US ratio was one 'zook per platoon of infantry, the German slightly higher due to the 'disposable' nature of the 'faust.

That's one old Medal of Honor, WW I at the latest. Also, the ribbon above the medal is upside down. The stars form an 'M' when the ribbon is worn correctly.

Treeburst, I sent in an e-mail reply and am looking foward to playing. Sgt Gold

I've got one game still out there and haven't sent in any AAR's because I thought I was going to finish the last game quickly. My opponent has dropped off again.

Not only that, but the M-1 in the picture has the stamped trigger guard. All Winchesters used the milled unit. The safety is wrong, and the finnish is way too coarse for WW II Winchester parkerization. Probably an 'import'. [ March 19, 2002, 11:08 PM: Message edited by: SGT_Gold ]

One of the things SLAM pointed out was that better training got better results in terms of rounds down range. Two very good books on the general subject of the psychology of killing are: On Killing Lt. Col. Dave Grossman Back Bay Books IBSN 0-316-33000-0 An Intimate History of Killing Joanna Bourke Basic Books ISBN 0-465-00737-6

The US went to smokeless powder after the Spanish Mausers caused them so much trouble in Cuba. Any large volume of fire using 'smokeless' powder will leave a discolored cloud hanging around the fighting position. The further away you are the easier it is to see it.

I'd answer this one in two parts. Static Any SP without a turretr Hetzer or Stug. As long as you can plan your fields of fire you won't get flanked unless your opponent really works on it. Manuver PZ IV in the front, Panther in overwatch. Once you open the range up over 500m, the Panther is very hard to kill from the front. PZ IV's carry a large enough HE load that if they out advance their infantry they stand a chance of staying alive. Gamey Any King or Super thing.
