Sir Uber General Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Just interested, who has had a unit that would deserve a stack of medals for their combat actions that you would like to mention. The weaker the unit, with less experience versus greater number of more seasoned opponents the better... and the unit must have survived to collect their awards Ill start. Regular Fusiler SMG, 41 inf + 1 mortar with no casualties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 I had one Fallschirmjager Squad kill 57 American troops. This happened after they took 6 KIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Vet American Rifle Squad on the attack, caused 23 casualties, took out a pillbox 75 as well as taking 4 casualities themselves. I wanted them in my next battle. I think they've been my most effective unit, relatively speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 It would have to be my opponents heavy mg42 crew that took out my sherman mark III or V. One squirt of lead and next thing you know my sherman is knocked out. I asked my opponent what got that Sherman and he verified the MG crew got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Murrin Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Hellcat. 2 KT's, 4 Panther G's, 3 MK IV's, 2 mortars, 26 infantry. This particular friend no longer wants to play me. Nathanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opponent is probably pulling your leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumrox Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 57mm Allied AT gun in a TCP game. Took out 4 PzIV's, 1 Tiger and rounded out the day with a few infantry kills before running out of HE. Had to push it up a hill to get the 4th PzIV and back down the hill just in time to nab the Tiger. No casualties for the AT crew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binkie Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Alright suckas, I've got a good one for ya...I had an uncommanded veteran bazooka take out three fast-moving SPW/1 HTs at about 60 meters in less than 30 seconds. Against Fionn. I don't remember if he survived or not, but he definitely lost his loader, at least. Also in a different game, had a supported bazooka miss a Puma at close range several times, then notice a King Tiger moving away at about 180+ meters. What a lob it required, but the second shot sent the thing to hell in a fiery explosion! Then he turned back to the reversing Puma and bagged it too, all within the same turn. Both team members survived and are currently headed for the rear, out of shells. Those were some of the most exciting single battle actions by one of my units, but I feel that the real heroes are usually the outgunned, isolated ones that hold important ground "until the cavalry arrives". They are the ones I decorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 A puny 75mm infantry gun with regular crew. Got 3 Shermans, 1 scout car, 3 HTs, 2 mortars and 25 infantry... Got pounded with 81mm mortar fire, 105mm arty and SURVIVED! The crew was immediatly decorated with the iron cross and sent to the eastern front...

JunoReactor Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 a green volksgrenadier with 43 kills... they were surrounded with bodies (amis) with no ammo left at the end of the game, but they were otherwise unschatched... Remainder of their platoon werent so lucky, however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cogust Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 That must be my Cromwell IV that knocked out 1 Pz IVJ, 1 King Tiger, 1 Jagdpanther, 1 Panther A, 1 StuG IV and 12 infantry (mainly tank crews) in a TCP/IP game. That one was a real hoot and since then I have loved those fast Cromwells, I have pictoral evidence to prove it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panzer Boxb Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 A Marder, took out 3 infantry, 1 greyhound, 2 Chaffees and itself -Mike Z. I speak no peng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewmeister Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Sgt Cheung in his Hellcat Took out something like 15 AFVs including Tigers, Jagdpanzer, a Nashorn and numerous HTs and infantry held up an entire column single handed until my reinforcements could shoot it up from the flank. Had to retire from the battlefield when he ran out of ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty's Double Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Sent a Pershing on a long route behind a Tiger. Ran a zook team and a depleted infantry squad the other way to distract it. Just as the Pershing broke cover the Tiger went boom. Rewound, assuming zook had got a lucky shot, but the infantry team had decided to close assault. Watched the zook round arc gracefully over the turret just as the little brown package arrived. Sweet. Won't talk about the Crack Fallshirmjager (7 men left, OK status, in command) squad who assaulted a knocked out 25pdr crew who'd fled into a building and were KO'd to a man without causing a casualty. Sour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Hrm. Maybe not as extreme, but I had a split Ami rifle squad and its platoon HQ get a combined 34 confirmed kills fending off the brunt of a German assault at close range (34 was also the total size of the destroyed German units which had their final casualty in that building). The HQ eventually was wiped out, but the split squad, which took two casualties and inflicted some 23 of the 34, never even broke under all the incoming fire (no exclamation point). Must have been fanatical... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Perdido Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Once had a 'zook dashing for some unoccupied (I thought) woods, which turned out to be hiding a 50mm AT gun. The gun couldn't pivot fast enough to track the team (which was within 20m or so when the gun opened fire), and the zook's final waypoint was IN the gun's foxhole. It engaged the crew in hand-to-hand combat and inflicted a casualty (yes, by hand-to-hand combat--I guess luggin' them heavy rockets around is good exercise!). The next turn, the 'zook fired a rocket from 2m away and KOed the gun, then captured the surviving crew. Never hand another AT team get prisoners...

Commander Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 I had an elite HQ unit take out a KingTiger from the front at 20 meters with two hand grenades and then killed all the KT crew as they ran down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombinedArms Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 My best was Sgt. Odom's plain vanilla Regular M4 Sherman which killed 2 Panther Gs, I Hummel, 1 Lynx, 1 Ostwind, 1 unidentified vehicle and 10 infantry and lived to tell the tale.

BFCElvis Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 I played Kitty in a game in which I said "any type, game any, side" and she gave me green Poles against vet German armor. I had a Piat hidden in a building that took out 2 tanks......she was pretty pissed and accused me of cheating...then I became beligerent and rude and she blocked my emails.

Binkie Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 It seems that just about any unit can engage in fierce hand-to-hand fighting, which is absolutely righteous. I just had an isolated PIAT kill the last two men of a Fallschirmjager squad that rushed his bungalow. No shells were fired, it was all knives to the gut, and the PIAT ended up untouched. And then there is the story I never get tired of telling...that of the halftrack crew headed up by Corporal Mace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgardner Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Current PBEM game. I've got a zook in the hedgerows, less than 50m from 3, count 'em, 3 Stugs parked wheel to wheel while they conduct 'urban renewal ops' on one of my occupied buildings. What does my hero do? Fires 5 shots, missing all 5 without being fired on in return. :eek: :mad: Naturally, the Stugs, now fully awake to the threat, proceed to turn in the zook's direction, and eliminate him. To paraphrase Admiral Jellicoe...there seems to be something wrong with my bloody zooks today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgars Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 In a recent PBEM, in first turn, my Green M8 HMC took out Veteran Marder II at a distance of 1000m with first shot (the only HC). Hit chance was something like 6%! My oponent replyed with something like "lucky shot..." in the next mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 I once had a Dalmier taking out Panthers from about 500m. He kept getting side turret hits against the Panthers. He ended up nabbing 6 Panthers and about 8 other less armored AFVs before running out of AP. He got brewed up by one of the remaining Panthers in one of the very last turns. Guess the AI wanted a little payback for that mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
