All I can say is "Wow!"
That looks awesome.
I like the multicolored wheels- did real KT's have those?
Keep up the good work, Tiger!!

Henri- sounds like just really bad luck overall, but this sounds like your tank got bogged in the grass. Was it a wet day that you were describing? This happens to me a lot, especially with the heavies on the grass.

Is it just me, or does the faceshot of the American rifle squad (the pic in the unit info screen) look like Dennis Miller with a beard?
And the German tank driver picture looks like the lead singer of "Midnight Oil" (remember them? or are they still kicking around down under?)
I just realized this while playing a QB, and it made me chuckle.

I did a search just for fun, but couldn't find any specific info on this. I read somewhere that modern HEAT rounds can penetrate 600mm of steel at 0 degrees.
Does anyone know the armor penetration of today's modern APFSDS rounds?
It's interesting to put the power of yesteryear's King Tigers into perspective...

Hi guys- What's the best way for a newbie to pbem like me to find a good opponent? Is there an online webpage with potential players? Thanks ahead of time for any help.

This happened to me in a QB recently. My veteran Tiger was behind a house in a defensive position with an ambush marker at the edge of some woods about 180m away. When a Churchill came into view about 400m away I moved my Tiger into LOS of the Churchill without cancelling the ambush marker. My Tiger sat there staring at the ambush marker as the Churchill pinged away at it and finally killed it.
Sure, my Tiger was spotted by the Churchill, but once it starts taking shots, it should redirect its attention to the highest threat, right?.

Tall glass of ice water and Granny Smith apple slices dipped in peanut butter.
Or a bowl of frosted mini-wheats in milk (after which my flatulent post-lactose emissions render my computer room uninhabitable).

I've been following this board for months. I'm drunk right now and feeling all warm and fuzzy.
There are two things in this world that truly rock:
1) Chimay Grand Reserve
2) Combat Mission

For especially close-quarter battles (ie- city fighting and lots of forests) I like the german submachinegun squads. I forget what they're called, though. They are deadly at close range with their full-auto weapons.
I'm also very partial towards any armored vehicle with 20mm cannon (Lynx, armored car, etc). Very good against soft targets and even can take out the occasional sherman with a side shot.
As for the allies, .50 cal HMG rules the open battlefield, and 105 shermans, I am learning, are very handy indeed.
