Aurelius Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Excerpt from an ongoing PBEM match (I play as UK). Tactical situation No. 1: Destruction of an unsupported tank. A lone Pz IV sits somewhere in Italy. Most ominous sight! Aftermath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Continued. Tactical situation No.2: Destruction of a tank pair. Two Pz IV's trying hard to be a deterrent. The attack starts as the 25 pounder barrage nears it's end. M 10 destroys the first mark (apologies for bad camera positioning, it was an extreme hull down position). The attack was not without it's risks, but they were calculated and deemed worth it. (the shot flew just over the TD, the crew can count their blessings) The second M 10 finishes the task. The aftermath. Note that these two tanks were destroyed in the same turn as the tank from the previous post. Really a bad turn for my opponent. A lesson for the new players. Don't leave your tanks in the open. Hide them behind terrain, buildings (these can be destroyed, so have a plan for that, too), etc. Use pause command to limit their exposure. Use your infantry to spot and share information, and only then let your tanks dominate the battlefield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 I've always had a soft spot for the AEC armored car. Here's a screenshot from the R2V module (with apologies for my crappy graphics card). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 The debut of the new Churchill 75NA in a QB was somewhat inauspicious, seeing how the QB force autopicker gave the other side Tigers! Ah well, it was fun anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freyberg Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 So this Kiwi breach team blew open a wall and - thanks to fortuitous turn-timing which allowed me to catch them just before they rushed in - they shot a whole bunch of Jerries as they were cowering on the ground (8 casualties recorded at game's end). I was reminded of the discussion on another thread about the relative effectiveness of bolt-action rifles. With a cold-blooded killer behind it, every gun can be deadly. It was brutal to watch - in 2019 it would be a war crime. That was the previous QB - this is the current one. French infantry, engineers and Spahis (recon troops with Stuarts) running up the slopes of the Gustav Line to bust it open and save the boys at Anzio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
