Ok,
This is going to be brief, as I want to get back to the game, but already the game is proving to be fantastic.
It's late in the war. My poor Germans are defending some little town. We have a couple of SPA's, a smattering of MG42's, some AT guns and some infantry. One group of infantry, 2 squads and a panzershreck team, are hidden in a bunch of trees a few hundred yards outside of town, all alone.
Well, here come the Americans. Tanks everywhere, pouring over the landscape. We do some damage, taking out a couple of half-tracks, a and a sherman before we lose the AT guns and the Self propelled artillery. Having cleared us of our big guns, the Americans start advancing ahead quickly, to clean up. Our guys in the wood huddle down, and pick a spot near the edge for an ambush, hoping some cocky American tank will ride on by. Sure enough, here comes an M8 greyhound, zooming right into our ambush spot. The two squads rise up at the same time, and blow the Greyhound straight to hades. That sure gets the Americans' attention, and the poor guys go down in a flurry of gunfire from all sides. Mr. Panzershreck gets off a couple of shots before he too, is blown up.
Sure, we lost our backsides in that fight. Call it a learning experience. That ambush was a sight to see, tho. Wonderful game. I am already happy I ordered it.
