As the party on the recieving end of this I can clearly state it was crack! crack! .... 2 shots, maybe 5 sec apart, 2 first-round kills.... :eek:

I smell tungsten, but I'll wait for the AAR to see how it pans out

Ya couldn't resist gloating, could ya Strider?

I just set up a small test.

An axis 5000 pts force as attacker in an assault QB with 200% bonus gets 26250 points.

With this I bought 118 veteran Tigers.

For the allies I bought a conscript british rifle platoon.

And a PIAT team.

Anyone want a PBEM?

I prefer axis.

:cool:

:eek:

Holy freaking armoured division batman!!

[4 am battle....very weird stuff....]

The zoomies tend to bomb randomly at the best of times I find. Once had my own jabos bomb (and come back and strafe) the burning wreckage of my own Halftracks....ignoring the 105 Shermie that was merrily roasting my pinned grenadiers. Thank god for panzerfaust!

[PIAT's - what use are they ??]

PIATs also don't tend to self-immolate the building you may be hiding in

[Boy in a bubble.. Or when zook back blast takes out a building.]

Well, thats something you dont see every day!

:eek:

Did the team survive this?

[THE LIST OF TEN COMBAT AXIOMS:]

Remember, a retreating enemy is probably just falling back and regrouping.

Exceptions prove the rule, and destroy the battle plan.

Airstrikes always overshoot the target, artillery always falls short.

Murphy was a grunt.

New to the forums gents...but:

Let's not hijack the thread about whether or not a certain miniseries was or was not any good.

Let us pay our respects to 1st Sgt Lipton, a veteran of the Second World War.

Depends on who you talk to I thought I once read somewhere the 335 was the fastest prop fighter, but I can't remember the source. I know the Ta-152 WAS very hot, one account of an example being flown by Kurt Tank, was jumped by 4 Mustangs while on a test flight (no armament) --- he escaped simply by opening the throttle and leaving them in the dust.....
