DEAR GOD Chris! You Sir are a Gentleman and a Scholar .. and a devotee if ever there was one. May I give you a resounding HUZZAH (or is it UULRRAAHHH)!

The "Sturm Tiger" is the ultimate "bunker buster"... 15.2" ordnance 2116 Blast effect! W00t! It rocked my world

Chaps, Could you grogs kindly elucidate me as to precisely what the effects of artillery are on minefields? Do the heavier shells destroy the minefield thus clearing a path? Also is there a reason why I cannont embark my spotters on ANY vehicle? I have been trying many times , using everything from staff cars, HT's and AFV's but I simply cannot get my "Binocular'd ones" to get a ride on anything! Poor lil buggers have to leg it everywhere :confused:

RSColonel_131st What about 4 to 5 vet King Tigers in an XXXX point game (forgive me I am not up to speed with points totals for something like this, Pure Armour). You know played an Operation recently (versus AI , can't think of the damn name of it, anyways ) I had several dozen armoured and infantry/vehicle units at my disposal over the course of the Operation, two units were a Crack (Lt) and a Vet (Osf?) King Tiger outfit. I must say as the operation progressed , the Soviets were systematically destroying my troops , but I became fixated with the performance of these two King Tigers! (Great Commander I am!) They were unstoppable. I let the rest of the battle go to the buggery and watched these two tanks anihilate 30 odd Soviet armoured vehicles over the course of the battle... amazing stuff. The Kings took some hits but they were still serviceable at the end... w00t!

YEEeeeEEEEAAaaaaaarrghhhh lets all do the BUMP! :cool:

Funny I should happen across this thread today given the fact that I have been pondering PRECISELY this ALL day today (yes even at work , I need councilling . I am a complete noobie at this game and my knowledge of the Eastern Front WW2 is rather abyssmal ( now you want to talk Napoleonic Wars , different story aHEM!) But I simply cannot see how the Wehrmacht lost the '43 Eastern Front war , with a tank like the Tiger and the crews that manned them! I mean was it simply a question of Tiger numbers ? Logistics/ supply or all of the above and the fact that the entire front was falling apart? I have had several experiences like the original post (mind you that does sound like a dreadfully one sided engagement) but IMHO it was a VERY difficult time for the Soviets , until of course the T-34/85 came along I have to say I avoid any '43 senario like the plague , then again I am but a noob!

Good lord my car is bigger than that tank! LOL

Pyewacket are you a fan of a certain Kim Novak movie?

The pathological attention to detail by the grogs never cease to amaze me! bravo

Panzerman I just tried to d/l something from your temp page but it isnt working.

Good Lord Gaylord really!? Im a such an idiot "tanks" for that! [ April 06, 2003, 01:55 AM: Message edited by: Brigadier ]

YES YES YES !!! What you all said !!! MAKE IT SO , ENGAGE!

Where are they? I have scanned the purchase units screens of the late war and cant find any (Mark 1 , 2 or 3 ). I see there is a heavy tank called an IS 2 , looks a bit like a JS I suppose but I thought Josef Stalin tanks had a "JS" designation? My eternal thanks to the Grogs that keep me informed!

Pillar are you Australian old chum? Thats the motto of the Royal Australian Air Force from the Latin "with effort we will reach the stars". Bravo. [ April 01, 2003, 04:20 AM: Message edited by: Brigadier ]

GOOD LORD THAT WAS QUICK! Thanks so much Humus!

Chaps, Can anybody direct me to any websites out there that contain all these sound/graphic/campaign mods that I have read so much about!? A search of google has revealed nothing other than endless reviews (all positive I am happy to report)! toodle pip and thanks.
