c3k Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Even more than you know! I have to leave for 5 days in just an hour. The last turn may be delayed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AttorneyAtWar Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So is the official verdict a draw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 In summation: First, Michael (DMS) has been a great opponent. Thank you for an engaging pbem. The game? Well, I'm in hospital, with a buxom nurse, and DMS is cowering in the corner of an abandoned building. Where would you rather be? Yeah, me too: I win. Just kidding! C'mon. Sheesh. By the rules as written, this must be a draw. Neither side got their leader on the bridge. Oh, IanL? Don't make me laugh! Really? You thought he would count? Pshaw. I realized he needed motivation, so I gave him the "mission" as a bit of a carrot. In a tactical sense, DMS must get the tip of the hat. His early smoke and mid-game arty were inspired. I merely threw men into the fight. Thanks for watching. Ken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agusto Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Great AAR, thanks. Can we get a screen of the stats screen? Casualties, kills, survivors etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've been having a lot of fun with this one. Tactics? Bah! I laugh at your tactics. Some nice moments which showcase some modern weapon capabilities, and some ugly moments which show what happens with carelessness.

c3k Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Great AAR, thanks. Can we get a screen of the stats screen? Casualties, kills, survivors etc? Gotta go, so not right now. (Away from gaming rig.) But my high score unit was Blue 2, with 42 kills. I think there's a bit of "kill-bug". My Red Jav unit killed 2 vehicles but shows "No Enemy". This has been fun. I've laughed at almost every turn. Michael/DMS is a great one to play. Start pestering him with pbem requests! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jargotn Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm extremely happy that I guessed the wrong purposely guessed the wrong date to give DMS a chance to proof himself. You would have destroyed I would have made things more interesting by letting you destroy my force early. Great game, you two! Lots of fun reading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 That is how AAR should be done! Exellent reading, I should learn how to do it. I hoped that your M1s will come closer too ambush them, but they ran from me! Thank you for the great game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Oh brilliant. I'm on the bridge! I think in a duel the second takes over when the first is killed. That looks good for me getting a win! I am sure DMS will comment on what we were up to. And how about that I survived on both sides - excellent! I think I will claim the win here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Excellent AAR c3k and DMS. I've really enjoyed following both sides. Funny, exciting and inspiring in equal measure. Oh and great entertainment! Howz about a rematch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) But my high score unit was Blue 2, with 42 kills. Holy Sh*t! Blue 2 alone is responsible for 50% of the russian casualties (DMS already posted a stats screen, he took about 90 casualties). LOL.

Heinrich505 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Great battle. Extremely entertaining. I give it 2 thumbs up. This was a wild one and y'all did a wonderful job. Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew H. Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 This reminds me of those SL scenarios that always ended up being decided by the outcome of hand to hand combat in the VL on the last turn! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanL can hear it when you talk aboit him like that! That is what you meant by "dirty laundry"?

c3k Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 It was instructive, to me, how well hidden DMS' men remained. A UAV or two would've given me a huge amount of info. But, then, his Tunguska would've just shot them down... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baneman Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Good stuff. C3k died of wounds, DMS was not hurt. Result was a draw, but DMS drew "more" I'm calling it ! Edited February 28, 2015 by Baneman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 c3k, If Fortune truly favors the bold, then you are her poster child! If my mind is going 17 directions simultaneously from devouring your account and looking at all the wonderful annotated pics, I can scarcely imagine what it must be like fighting this rip snorter of a crazy battle. And there I'm going to let my plaudits lie. What I'd really like, though, is to understand several things you mentioned. Your Red Team A got macerated by 30 mm airbursts. Fired from what, please? My understanding was that RUS 30 mm auto cannon shells were all impact fuzed, ditto the AGS-17 and such projectiles. To my knowledge, the only airburst munitions RUS has are the Ainet on your tanks and from the 100 mm gun of the BMP-3M. Also, I'm not computing the smoke you're talking about. I know the self protective smoke grenades block visual and IR, but I was under the impression artillery delivered smoke didn't. Has that changed? If not, then why does it seem you're saying it does? Given all the thermals in play, I don't see why it'd matter much if it can't block thermals. What am I missing here?
