    Major German victory with 14 minutes still to go.

    No casualties

     

    Ok, a couple of restarts but only because my troops disobeyed orders. They will be punished later. :)

     

    I'd give you a screenshot if I could reduce it to the bizarrely precise limit of 431.17 kB

    using the Vacilllator technique?
    I admit that I once used tank fire on troops who had messed up an operation
    I'm ashamed but there are precedents in the history of France

     the backup of the last game turn
    the location of the pumas at the edge of the map, I only brought them forward at the end and one of the 2 was destroyed, for information the chief's radio having been destroyed I had to keep them unbuttoned to keep the C2

    I agree, that's what we read in the history books.  Not sure how true it is, but I quite like a cuppa (of tea) in the morning, coffee in the afternoon and something stronger later on 😮.

    Afternoon coffee explains why you need to take something stronger in the evening to sleep!
    you can use this to justify the strongest ...

    frankly I don't see where the problem is
    you should maybe question yourself 🙄

    good ok this is the first time !!!!:P
    and it was you who gave me the solution

    This time on Elite, I realised I could set up at the end of the transverse road.  Thought I'd cracked it, with a bit longer range my 50mm guns would surely give me the advantage right? .....

    @Falaise I feel your pain! 
     

    I appreciate the feedback on the map and it’s relationship to the real world. Actually really chuffed that I managed to get it close to the real place. 
     

    Good luck for your next replay. Maybe go into battle buttoned up next time ;)

    yes the map is superb, the place has changed a lot but I have know how it was before
    thank you for such a masterpiece

    This caught my eye, must try this more often 🙂 particularly in longer battles!

    But also a question, did you re-position before turn 1 or were you in George's original default positions?  I ask because I have an inclination to try it again and see what happens to me, but it will depend on where we start as well as luck.  In my more cheeerful playthrough I had re-positioned before turn 1.  I neglected the observation turn though 😉.

    quite honestly, is that good advice ???🙄
    yes this is the original position, just over the side of the road
    the 1st minute 😱😭

    Enjoy! 😊

    Don’t get killed in turn 1 in this one!

    I no longer make the mistake of the incarnate !!! 🙄
    at the beginning or I played under the curious eye of one of my boys this one attributed an armored vehicle saying that he was the tank commander. This systematically caused a reluctance on my part to engage it in combat.
    During the breakthrough combat of the Falaise pocket on August 19 20 21, 1944, General Meindl who commanded the 2nd German parachute corps had to take command of the 3rd parachute division after its leader General Shimpf was wounded. He then found himself to command his son who was an officer in this unit.
    On the morning of August 21, Meindl explains that he woke up his son who had spent the night next to him. After kissing him to celebrate his birthday which was August 21, the soldier took over and gave him his orders to finish the breakthrough.
    I am still amazed by this episode

    Wittmann's Demise Scenario

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    AAR Wittman Demise George MC
    Here is a scenario that I have been watching since I got the game.
    I opened it, I looked at the superb map, I recognize the places.
    But I'm not going to spoil it. Considering the amount of work to achieve it, the quality of the menu and the accompanying documentation, this is a great scenario and like a old bottle of wine, i respects
    You have to find the opportunity, take the time ...
    I also need to gain experience so that I can fully appreciate it.
    I think about it regularly, I look at the pitch every time I pass there.
    I open it from time to time to admire the map. I find the depression in the small wood where when I was 16 I found a tiger caterpillar link that I could not take, too heavy on my cycle, one of my big regrets !!!!
    Then the big day arrives, tomorrow I don't work, Madame is up to bed, the children too, not a noise outside just the regular purring of the cat sleeping on the chair next to me
    I have my plan in mind, a notepad handy. For the 1st minute, as usual, no movement, it's the observation turn, the vehicle pilots are unbuttoned to spot any contacts.
    I press the red button and place the camera just behind Wittman who is looking at the battlefield stand up in his turret. I’m Wittman, I’m him, soon I’m going to launch my tigers to conquer the Jalousie Ridge and make history again.
    Thirty seconds have elapsed I appreciate the moment… the sound of a hiss of shell, boom, a shell has just burst Wittman has disappeared ! a red cross floats above the tank. No it's not possible: Wittman is hit NO I check he is no longer in the tankcrew, NO
    I don’t believe it I check the other tanks everyone is unharmed.
    I'm aghast, one dead person in the record, that is Wittman.
    I want to start again but the magic is broken, frustrated I go to bed.
    Like  Bulletpoint sentence rings true

    I believe many 'war heroes' were just lucky fools. Till their luck ran out.

    In a war of millions of people, there will be many who are foolhardy. We remember the luckiest ones.
