At least you have gotten late war... Some of us dream of early war!!! Reminds me of a Monty python routine... Think you had it bad!!!!

You see that is the trouble you mention one, then the others need some love too... I missed TF Panther?

Double post!

To the OP how long did it take you to complete all the content that came with the game? A rough guess is all I ask.

Well paper tiger has been mia? I wonder?

Thanks for the update and road map. I too will add my voice for the old campaigns to be fixed, if possible? I guess it depends on what broke them?

Hmmm as I was typing above you posted latest turn, yes looks grim....

No shame in that as the terrain was against you, not easy to flank those Panthers and I did not see how it could be done until you showed the Sherman's moving down the valley not using the road. Then I saw you had a shot at it, but that limited window has now been closed IMO, and I guess your opinion too. The only thing I might have tried is to lob some smoke rounds in front of the Panther, did you consider that?

Doug has (might as i do not know, but appears that way) nailed the tubes on Bils right, but I think he is sorting out tubes on Bils left flank?

Just seen this thread and posted in Bils IMO yes Allies would call off assault, but if Bil can obtain a draw I think he will have done very well! Not his best game for sure and why he kept trying to deploy the mortars when it was clear they were too exposed and IMO needed to pull back and deploy elsewhere. If he can keep Sherman's alive as a threat that should keep Panthers at bay and lay some zooks side shots if Panthers come forward to play. I would be setting some armoured arcs for the zooks to keep tight control on ammo usage.

I think a draw here would be a moral victory. IRL the allies would be pulling back IMO.

Hmmm not sure BFC have in house scenario makers? I could be wrong? How about all the new content being created? Is that not doing it for you? Just out of interest how many hours play did you get out of the scenarios shipped with the game?

Yes it is now become a lot harder and that M10 has had lathing problems right from the start, driver must have been a newbie.... I guess the AT gun did not attract the Panthers attention? We await to see the next cunning plan....

Hmmm mind reading again are we? He made a statement, it did not say it was about you.

Yes I think you are right the elevation might make smoke less effective. When looking at the smoke from the hit Sherman it did not seem to help because it reversed up the slope. Hard to tell with tree foliage off. I think Bil had one shot at flanking and it looks like it is close to failure.

Yes going to be very tough for Bil, I would have lobbed some smoke rounds in that area DF from the Sherman's. He has to get to the side and where they are now he will lose. He has one maybe two turns before the Panthers close that option for him. I am hoping he can pull something out of the bag.

Great turn for you, the line of the hmgs means you are getting double chances on those mortar teams! As they are lined up along line of fire. Looks like M10 was side on to Panther so easy penetration. This has just got a lot harder for Bil.

Hmmm a mind reader are we? Where in my question did I say that? I asked an open question and now you are telling me what I think!!!

What gives you the right to think they need to respond to you?

Was this the Sherman that survived the previous Panther bounce? 3 Times lucky?

Bil that is one lucky Sherman, looks like smoke mortars greyed out, guess that means they have popped smoke? I presume still reversing so maybe they will live to fight on?

It is possible, but Bil is better disposed to strip away Doug's infantry, and that will pay better results than a chancy Panther hit. If Bil can target those German infantry squads it will really give him some options. The Panthers without infantry can not win the game imo

Thanks for the Link to the PDF and the Video clip showing the restore. Really interesting what is left out there. Who knows one day a lost tiger might be found. Nice to see Bovie is close to getting their Panther to run again, that will foiirce me to visit the Tank day they have the Tiger and Panther running at same event...

Looks like Bil has lost a Sherman for not a lot and I think I can see why Bil can not easily get the Shermans further to the left (Doug's). I would be using smoke to try and mask the move from that Panther and i would be questioning if the M10 is really contributing to the place where the action will be won.... If the M10 can get LOS into the side of that forward panther all well and good, but I don't think it can and Bil will need to draw back his Shermans or use smoke to block that Panther and force it to move... IMO
