  1. End game. The Soviets have emerged victorious! If anyone's interested...
  2. It was terrifying! But I really thought my second tank might get you with the turret but he was under a move command and didn't stop. And the shot he did get just bounced away off your hull!
  3. The terror and uncertainty of battle leads to me losing two of my T-34/85s when they and one of @FlammenwerferX's Jagdpanthers meet face to face. I was trying to be clever and sneak up a hill thinking I would have his TD in the flank but as my tanks move up the slope the Jagdpanther crests the ridge coming directly at me. This was the result. I believe the German soldiers seen in the prior pics are now dead. Tankodesantniki on the move!! Only time to stop and quickly catch their breath.
  4. Me and @FlammenwerferX suffer some intense and terrifying minutes in the woods. A close encounter of the frightening kind... Luckily support is right behind! Out of the woods and right into the waiting jaws of the Jagdpanther. Today we are thankful our enemy has turretless TDs instead of tanks. And because of it my scout reverses safely out of danger. The monstrous German TD gets first shots but misses as both he and I are moving! The fates align, and so do my gunsights. At this range, with 122mm, the results are as expected. Scratch on another kill. More medals will be requested for these heroes of the Soviet Union, if they can survive the next 30 minutes...
  5. I told you all that our battle is raging. @FlammenwerferX's welcoming party. My response... Folks, we got us a long range tank duel going on here. The smell of burning armor and gunpowder wafts across the landscape. Yet, the German's have both bark and bite as well. In you go boys. Give the invader what's coming to him. More men who may be experiencing their last minutes on pixel-earth yet bravely face their fate. Fight hard my soldiers!
  6. They will only go to reinforce success, never failure. Maybe they will survive.
  7. @FlammenwerferX and I have completely locked horns now and our battle is raging. Here my brave Soviet troops await the word to move.
  8. Tiger Trail by @Mr.X playtesting... Tigers and dead cows. Pockmarked and scarred. Shattered trees and broken men. Storming Mickiewicze, the Tigers arrive and the hammer falls.
  9. I'd say they are half both. Haha! We really didn't expect anyone to still be drawing breath in them.
  10. Maybe I was talking about the tanks, haha! I was thinking the same and was trying to avoid having them lineup like this. Glad both used MGs to solve the problem instead of main guns. The turn before I killed one of my own T-70s with friendly fire from an IS-2, shooting these very troops in this foxhole. The round hit a couple of meters from the T-70 and did him in. C'est la guerre. 122mm vs T-70.
  11. Hehe, and .45 against a Tiger is about as effective as 9mm against an IS-2! It actually happens quite a bit in CM. In my Breakthrough to Kovel campaign I also posted a picture of a Soviet officer shooting a tank with a pistol. I guess it the whole "tools we have" thing...
  12. The bravery... @FlammenwerferX's isolated gun crew tries to fight off my IS-2s with a P38. I don't think 9mm is going to penetrate...
  13. That's excellent! I have to give you props again as I have just finished playing Deep Raid by PBEM and have just started Tip of the Spear by PBEM as well. I'm also still working through 5 days! Your maps, attention to detail and well crafted scenarios are both stunning to look at and amazing to play through. Thanks George! Your work is MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!
  14. My fight with @FlammenwerferX is heating up as men and armor move through the countryside. My recon units give the German enemy a face full of canister. Flammenwerfer's men happen to take out one of my T-34s by killing the unbuttoned commander and then spooking the rattled crew out with grenades. Still, having thought I had put down all the ambushers a burst of SMG fire takes down multiple men of mine at once. However, despite the rain and cold my men are determined to make our introductions to the invader.
  15. Thanks Dan! In the past when an old PC died, first thing is to make sure that CM will run flawlessly and at the highest settings. Priorities man!
  16. So @FlammenwerferX and I have engaged in battle. A few images so far... These Soviet soldiers show off their trophy enemy kit.
  17. That woodlot is full of Germans. Snarling, stalking, and growling like a big cat. The scout seen earlier running away learns that hunting Tigers is not for amateurs.
  18. Into the mouth of the beast. The beginning attack on Mickiewicze. 150mm Hell.
  19. I get you. Happy to help out. Oh, it's Michael though, hehe. Living the dream here as usual.
  20. One of my favorite George Carlin bits: Just the fact that a flamethrower exists means that somewhere at some point at some time, someone said to themselves, "You know, I'd really to set those people over there on fire... but they're just too far away."
  21. Good to hear from you Rob! I'll see what I can do! Hope all has been well.
