Example an LMG engages some enemy units in a recent game he sees a JS2 nearby a unit which has a different C2. On Iron when I click my LMG he has a full contact with the IS2 and because the IS2 is unbuttoned sees the LMG as well. To let the JS2 engage the units of the LMG is realistic and reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in this sense it's okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German HMG crews had a flashlight for signaling. Not all C2 depend on radio. I play on Iron and my home rule before I press the Red Button, I click a unit and see which unit he can see. They are the units I let coordinate their tactics. Runners ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it didn't get any better after this action either... The 501st’s record through August 1944 was so poor that on the 22nd August 1944, as you say, Major von Legat was relieved of his command. It is also reported that he had links to the 20th July 1944 conspiracy to kill Hitler. I can't find any record of what happened to him after this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing all the small details the turn replay function allows players to observe and screenshot. I can easily burn 15 minutes of RL time replaying one minute of game time attempting to see all the interesting little details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckdyke Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Half a Soviet squad is equipped with submachine guns for this cartridge. Inside 100 meters Soviet squads quickly gain fire superiority over German Squads. Inside a forest or city fighting take them on. Checked the tables it packs more punch than the 9x19mm of the German weapon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich505 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 @George MC Those are great shots. The one, pictured above as highlighted by Tashtego, with the landser in the smoke, is most evocative. A very well done montage. Thanks for posting! Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George MC Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Series of screenshots showing a German SPW company attacking a Soviet rifle company (-) hasty strongpoint. No time to expand foxholes into trenches, lay wire or mines. Not as easy as you'd think! Despite the application of lots of HE... Rolling into the attack and about to make contact with a Soviet security post. The first 'speed bump'. Contact! Lead platoon debuss and start their attack whilst SPW MGs provide supressing fire whilst the companies mortars pummel the located outpost. 251/9 'Stummel' move up to provide close fire support. They are very handy for this task as less prone to losing crew given all have their heads down. Still ATRs can mess them up... The company commander co-ordinating the attack. The smoke is rising from one SPW nailed by an light AT gun. The smoke in the background was put down to provide cover in response as the gun could not be spotted. More smoke to cover a flanking action by two other SPW from the lead platoon. Supporting elements from the other platoons provide supporting fire and attempt to supress other Soviet rifle positions that are now engaging the attacking company with effective aimed rifle, MG, mortar and artillery fire. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
