rocketman Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Do not dismount when artillery is near... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B15S-x7FhyQ The lone surviver, the driver, buddy aided the whole lot and ended up with 10 demo charges, binos, a MG42 and two panzerfausts. He could barely move afterwards. Edit: couldn't embed. Edited January 17, 2018 by rocketman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buddy aid is interesting. That is the most gear I've ever heard recovered by one troop. Didn't even realize that much gear could be recovered. Thanks for sharing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 I have never takes as many casualties from one arty shell, no matter what caliber. I suspect 120 mm at the most. Maybe my oppo @Bob Willett can chime in on this. Before dismounting I debated with myself whether to do it or not, but thought that "the strike is about to end and I'm on the fringe". MAJOR regrets one minute later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a similar experience with a gung-ho Spy in CM:A who wound up running around with an RPK-74 and a selection of other hardware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yeah I have a love hate relationship with any off map support. Had squad wipes more times than I can count thanks to it. I have had a lone British Tommy already weilding a Bren and quite a bit of ammo pick up a PIAT, rockets and extra grenades before. Could barely move as well. Ended up holding down a house all by himself against some German stragglers in the CMBN-CW "Colossal Crack" scenario. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ouch! I wonder what the effect would have been in case they stayed inside the vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Just noticed that that lone guy had 21 grenades as well. Too bad he didn't get to see any fighting. He would have been a one man army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
