Rambler

Same view but advancing with the squad.
 
The map for this battle is amazing!

So, I was going through my screenshot folder and thought I would post a bunch from a recently completed PBEM with LukeFF where we fought on Hill 262 (CW The Mace). I fought as the Poles, and Luke fought at as the Germans. We also did DARs for this match, but only Luke completed his. Yeah, I was a slacker. Here are the links to the DARs if you wish to read them:
 
Luke's DAR
Rambler's DAR
 
Panthers on the move:

 
Panzer IVs in an orchard near Vimoutiers Rd:

 
A Polish mortar team lobs mortars at German positions near Vimoutiers Rd:

 
A StuG commander surveys the terrain ahead of him:

 
Polish 17lbr takes a direct hit from a German mortar round:

 
Bocage creepin':

 
StuG knocked out from a single Sherman III round:

 
Sherman IIIs on the move near the North Slope:

 

 

Three Sherman IIIs take advantage of a thick German smokescreen to get into position at Vimoutiers Rd:

 
The smoke clears to reveal a couple of Panzer IVs. The Sherman IIIs spot one of them and knock it out:

 
A force from Boisjos Manor, consisting of a couple tanks and platoons, ready to blitz into the German's rear and cut them off:

 
The only resistance encountered are a bunch of halftracks which were easily dispatched:

 
This was a twofer. The round knocked out one halftrack, passed through it, and took out another one (offscreen).

 
The two remaining halftracks with their backs to the wall. They didn't last long:

 
A Polish TC with resolve and determination to make the Germans pay:

 
A Panzer IV at Vimoutiers Rd is spotted by a Sherman III at the North Slope. It opens fire...:

 
...and scores a penetrating hit:

 
A Firefly burns after being destroyed by a cornered Panther near the North Slope:

Yeah, one of those BTRs with the 30mm cannon got the drop on me .
 
The sound is from waclaw's HQS sound mod: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/5471/details

So, after we were sold on the idea that all of the titles would be upgraded, for a fee, whenever a new version came out, we're just now finding out that it's a possibility that this will not be the case anymore, and that we will see titles not upgraded?

Yes, stop. Your constant vendetta against JK is becoming extremely tiresome. If you think you are winning people to your side, you are not. Every snide and demeaning attack you make on JK shows us what a small, petty and vindictive man you really are. Every time JK, for all his faults, turns the other cheek or addresses your attacks with civility shows us that he has a lot more character.

From now on, I’ll be reporting posts I see where you spout your usual belittling, denigrating and snide comments against fellow members whom you deem as a lesser or disagree with. As a higher profile unpaid employee of BFC (You create content, for free, that ships with the game, making you an unpaid employee for all intents and purposes), the way you conduct yourself throws a bad light on BFC. It’s time that they are made aware of this.

For those playing along at home; after being called out on repeating previously-shown-to-be-wrong information, Kettler has now moved on to
i) a weird MilHist version of the Gish Gallop
ii) various forms of "woe is me, it's all just sooooo unfair"
iii) flooding the board with irrelevant, quickly googled, links
iv) vigorously contesting points nobody has made
all of which, like the repetition thing, we've seen dozens of times before.
 
Would anyone like to place a bet as to which of his 'tactics' will be trotted out next?

Bud_B,
 
You're welcome. Understand this. JonS has a very long history, years,  of intimidating and attacking Forum Members, and by no means just me. Have gotten PMs from others attesting to the same. Some won't post for fear they'll draw his ire. He is singularly fortunate to still be here, I suspect his doing scenario work for BFC helps, for he has been publicly warned by BFC in the past, and this doesn't exactly show he's figured out gentlemanly behavior yet. The link tells the sordid tale. No matter how good the evidence I present, he not only won't acknowledge it, but he'll lash out at me some other way.
 
I've never claimed my memory is perfect, and, regarding the Stuart vs bocage business, I may have conflated several things I read, but disagreement should consist of courteously debating the evidence, not making sweeping dismissive claims to others about everything said by the other party, and it certainly should never descend to the level of ad hominem attacks. Claiming I'm going around deliberately spreading incorrect information is pretty rude, and that's some of his better behavior.
 
JonS,
 
After the way you ungraciously, ungratefully and gratuitously exploded on me in the Katusha thread, then made Bulletpoint collateral damage from your outburst, which you then capped off by prohibited name calling targeting me, I'm surprised you have any spleen to unload! Please stop behaving like a board bully, start behaving like a mature adult male, stop slanging me and poisoning people toward me.
 
Regards,
 
John Kettler

Pnzrskrtwrfr,
If CM:BS were set in Montana following an invasion by Canada supported by North Korea, you might have a point. In that case, the US would probably throw everything including the kitchen sink into the fight, feeling they had no choice since they were about to be overwhelmed by crazed kimchi-wielding Canucks. Meanwhile, in this corner of the multi-verse, the US is not fighting for national survival, and can chose what assets to pitch into battle. And in this, or any other comparable optional fight against a first- or second-tier opponent, it is more than a little unlikely that they'd pitch in the A-10 when the USAF can instead use F-16s or -18s, or whatever, to deliver the same effects in safety.
 
The Ukraine and the USS.. er, Russia don't have the same choices.
