    your attempt to play the both-siderism game is pathetic and shows an incredible amount of ignorance, both in historic and in current events.  What Gingerich did was completely unprecedented.  What McConnell did was completely unprecedented.  And Trump is off the charts for breaking both norms and laws.  ANd where on the left are the insane ones that are wielding power?   Where's the dem Matt Gaetz?  MTGreene?  American democracy is on the brink and it is due to one side and one side only.  Guess what --  Biden won't attempt to throw the country into a civil war to unlawfully try to cling to power.  Trump's been doing that for last 4 years, including a full on mob-coup attempt that left people dead.  So just WTF are you even talking about?  Clearly you've been watching Hannity or some other bull**** monger and now you are parroting their bulls--t.
    So stop watching Fox & newsmax.  It makes you look like a damn fool.
    Oh, and please respond by telling me how it's the dems fault the GOP held up UKR aid for 3 months.  Dems aint the ones on Putin's payroll.

    Indeed.  From my perspective the crew spotted the trenches first before even seeing the Panzerschreck team. And then when they did creep forward they didn't see the enemy AT team until they got a mouthful of 'schreck. 
    However, the T-70 did his job.  😁

    Pretty much as the tank stopped just outside my covered arc so had to wait a turn to fire

    @FlammenwerferX's luckiest artillery shot ever.  Somehow this one landed right on the deck killing my entire SMG HQ riding on the tank in addition to KO'ing the tank and killing the entire crew as well.  
    Ugggh.

    That's a painful one for sure!  Lose the tank, lose the men, lose your well laid plans, all w one shell.  Or was it an FPV drone? -- awfully precise for artillery.  Thanks for sharing, as always.

    I've had that on at least two Panthers in recent games.  One on a road under artillery fire so just one of those 💩 things.  The other in a forest with no LOS in and a single round arrived, that was more 💩💩💩.

    Phantom Captain reacted to Vacillator in How many PBEMs do you have going at once?   
    As mentioned elsewhere, having never played a battle in any modern title, I accepted a challenge from our good friend @Ultradave to play 'Czechmate' with me as Soviets.  To encourage me (😂) he said this was pretty much what he trained for in RL.  Great way to start, right?
    It's a very nice map and I'm starting to enjoy it but having initially lost several vehicles to TOWs from invisible launchers I'm being a bit more cautious and beginning to get spots on some of his units.  Not knowing much about modern weapons is a concern, as is my lack of long range AT assets at the current stage of the game - I have (sorry had) 4 T62s (now 3) but nothing else with range. That will change when the main force arrives.  None if this will come as a surprise to Dave so I'm not giving away much intel.
    Overall, I think if I view the exercise as a lesson from the master I will hopefully not be too disappointed when I lose...

    As one of those people, I have our game plus another 4 going (ours FI, 2 FBs, 1 BN and 1 CW).  As a 'modern virgin' the last is rather scary.  I normally have one or two RTs going but not at the moment.

    Just wanted to see everyone's PBEM CM experience level?  Are you a regular, vet, elite??  I'm just curious how much everyone else does.
    Currently I have 5 PBEMs going against three different people.  Theaters in play right now are 2 RT, 1 BN, 1 FB and 1 FI.
    Who are the warriors out there?

    Ok, back to the real action.  @FlammenwerferX and I have about 6 minutes left in Metal on Metal Comet vs Panther, and I have to say this have been some of the craziest, most vicious, up-close, knife fight, tank battling I have experienced.

    A couple of shots from @dragonwynn's CMCW campaign, Seven Days.  It's been REALLY fun so far!


    This brave American soldier had fought so hard defending this position, survived being overrun by three BMPs and a T-62 by chucking grenades and shooting anything that dared come at him, even holding his breath to spring up at the last second to gun down this charging Soviet, only to be instantaneously killed by one bullet while reloading his rifle.
