Warts 'n' all Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) @Erwin I enjoyed it as both the US and the Axis, obviously it's been a fair while since I played this battle. Checking my results log, I lost as Axis vs the AI. So it will no doubt get another go sometime.

Well that is actually a good recommendation as it presumably shows the AI puts up a decent defense(?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 You clearly have self esteem issues lol. I love the US fake units. How did the designer do that? FWIW however, one "US" HT was happily doing recon down a road and BOOM. Lost it plus a couple of squads to mines. Huge hole in the road. Never seen such a large effect from a mine. And no engineers to mark em. I guess have to recon another road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Given that I don't speak USatian I don't have any "issues", although I do have some old maps of my home town where springs are indicated by the word "issues". As for the US units provided to the Germans in this battle, they come in the scenario editor for Final Blitzkrieg to help designers recreate Panzer Brigade 150.

Erwin Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) About 40 minutes in and am enjoying playing the Germans. The mines tend to force you down certain roads and the US have some nasty ambushes. But, have made it to the "NW Block" objective with the KT and some PzV's and inf etc. So far lost all 6 recon AFV's and maybe 45 inf. The M4 still in action. Am thinking I need to prep to ambush the US coming from the NW. Edited May 10, 2020 by Erwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 While mopping up remnants of German resistance in the latest PBEM, my team stumbles upon an HQ unit. The German commander prepares a grenade. He gets shot and the following happens. I wonder who will get credited with the kill... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVR Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Damned piece of partial hull down armor held up 4 Stugg's and 3 Panzerjager's before being forced to back off. The SOB is still lurking somewhere behind the tree line! Edited June 21, 2020 by AVR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theforger Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Scenario 6 of the Rollbahn D campaign I'm building. Will release the individual maps and battles after the campaign.

Sulman Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Sometimes you get lucky and pull off the sort of stunts you curse the AI for. This 75mm M4 got sent on a rat run to try and get behind a Tank Destroyer that I knew was keyholed on this street. Against my expectations. the Sherman rolled over the short brick wall and put an AP round where the sun doesn't shine As soon as that was done, the Turret swung left and engaged a Panther(!!) at emerging from the intersection at the top of the street. 2 hits on the side of the turret, and it was ablaze. A highlight of what was a very tough scenario. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtsjc1 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 That is an excellent scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulman Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 It is, I'm getting more into the WW2 titles (CMSF1 &2 were my main playground) and I'm very impressed with the effort put into the scenarios. I looked at Singling on Google Earth and was so impressed how well the terrain is represented in game. Also the colour palette captures that grey Winter vibe absolutely perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulman Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The remnants of the sole German armor effort which counterattacked my infantry. I had two Sherman 75s on overwatch and they made fast work of both Stug IIIs, plus the Captured M4 seen on the left. The stugs started farther right, which afforded them defiladed approach and so they actually got pretty close to my truppen in the woods to the right. They did get my FO's jeep, the bastids! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macisle Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Green, but mean. So, far, these guys are having a good day. Having repositioned, two of my trio of Hetzers engage and bag an AG trying to sneak onto prime real estate. Next up, a TD comes into view. The roadbound Hetzer gets off two inaccurate shots while the platoon HQ to his left tries to get eyes on. The commander can't locate the TD and his Hetzer eats a round, knocking out the main gun. The roadbound Hetzer sends off a third round that lands short. The TD sends one back, but the Hetzer, thankfully, bounces it. The German crew then lobs a fourth round at the TD. Despite spotting first, firing first and getting off four shots, the round is high. The TD fires a second shot. I doesn't bounce. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no friendly troops in the area the tankers pull the duty. It was common practice for the commander to dismount with his binoculars to have a look on the crest or on the attic of a nearby house. Something for Game Engine 5? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macisle Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 There's another rooster in my henhouse -- a Sherman. It's not looking good for my HQ Hetzer, but friendly infantry up ahead are in a position to help out. They chuck a number of smoke grenades toward the enemy that increase the tank destroyer's chance of escape. Eat fog, rooster! It works and the HQ crew manage to back their vehicle to safety. Meanwhile, the last fully-functional Hetzer leads a combined arms advance on the other side of the woods to try and open up an avenue for a flanking attack on the rooster gang. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
