  1. 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:

    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!) :rolleyes:

    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! :D

  3. 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 :D .

    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! smile.gif
