Comrade Cuirassieroff, The charlie version was deemed inapropriate for hetrosexual viewing. It included a subroutine for all units to take off their shirts and line dance *Y*M*C*A* at regular intervals. It also required a mod for all HQ units to wear sailor moon costumes and torn fishnets. All Axis squads to wear PVC bondage gear. And all allied squads to wear pastel football uniforms. ******************************************* CM is a serious matter, We cannot alow such frivolity, Currently working on a mod for all ambient sounds to be Ramones songs,

JasonC and I have been playing my Beta version of "Wittman in the east", The delta version is almost ready for testing ,, It has all the right units for a german assult in july 1943, But it needs an axis briefing, The allied briefing is taken care of. *sargent rasputin's howling cossaks* comic style, (anyone care to guess the 2 references in that?)

yep

Weapons and tanks have been killed, But personel casualties have been light overall. My first line has been mauled on its flanks, but this is where the fighting has been concentrated. I unknowingly made this mission unwinnable for the axis player, and the next version will be very different. Diffrent terrain, different perameters, and a more correct axis weapons kit. It has been a huge learning experience, in both scenario design and combat. I honestly do hope to play against Jason again. He knows what he's doing, and he improvises well. Only what ??? 8 more turns to go?. My far left is being pounded hard, I'm expecting carnage.

Damm those planes, Messing my guns up, and terrorizing my infantry. but i'm still holding

And mangled defenders are holding

And the luftwaft blasts my defences. Damm

and now i'm just waiting for the next turn.

Comrade Cuirassieroff, So they are ,, i didnt notice , will you be driving ?

Jason,, sadly you are wrong ,,,, it is yours. Phuquing luftwaft I dont have airsupport.

this is my day how was yours?

I've seen it ,, In a QB, in a city, with mostly conscripts, as defender, My troops got a contact of a german panther in the building they were in,, They ran out and found someplace else to hide , Turned out it was a halftrack 3 buildings over,

note to self ,, * give Jason a battery of 81mm mortars, and a decent suppy of ammo,, * you want 2 or 4 ?

3 pz4 tanks down. and the pressure on my forward line eases. only a temporary respite i'm sure ,,,,,

One AT rifle, who went into panic on turn 3, is still sneaking on turn 14, and still in panic. He did fire twice on turn 3, and took fire from a big gun,But has not been fired on since turn 4. He has been sneaking for 10 solid minutes.

Enemy half-tracks have reached the cluster of houses on the left. And have disembarked infantry. 2 more half tracks have been immobilized or knocked out by mines. A mark4 tank appears to be immobilized on the right. Enemy infantry is in the gully on the right. Pair of tigers in overwatch are still a problem, as are other pair on attack.

4 enemy tanks eliminated, 4 45mm AT guns lost, I should have waited, I got impatient and I opened fire at too great a range. Also I exposed my other pair too early, Starting to see a few other mistakes I made. This may get tricky.

He does seem rather sure of himself. And sure of his observations. Leading me to wonder........ ....... .........If he realy knows who he is facing?

turn 10; Enemy tanks Engaged at Medium range.

Comrades Cuirassierov and l.cassidoff...... It appears that there may be traitors to our holy mother russia, and they are standing between myself and comrade stalin. They have failed o assign me any of the weapons I demanded. But with the will of the heroes of the proletariate, and the courage of same. I shall overcome all obstacles. Attend your own commands and be silent. Let the heroes of the soviet union do their job. I dont see either of your flabby backsides on the map,, so shut your vodka disposal equipment.

Things are begining to look interesting. Turn 8. 2 columns of german tanks are advancing north by northwest.

Cuirassier JasonC's evil facisti hordes shot up grandmother Kasovich's chicken coop, and killed her prized rooster, And with all the young men away at the front, how is an old granny supposed to find a decent co*k these days, ask Jason for the details

John and Jason, the solution is; Restrict TRP Usage, Use low quality spotters, and pre-plan any artilery above the regimental level. It not the best solution, but may ease the problem. Yes giving any side a VAST number of TRPs is wrong, 15? 10? 5? Try maximum 3TRPs for defenders, 1 for attackers. And defenders only use them for aiding ON map guns, not off map guns. Of course you can never be sure if the other guy is playing by the rules ,, but you gotta trust someone.

Turn 5, We have property damage
