Wittmann Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 I'll just take a short cut through the trees, there won't be any infantry in there. That tank hasn't got the firepower to get me from there....anyway he hasn't even got line of sight.

tss Posted July 14, 2000 Share Posted July 14, 2000 To division's supply officer: "Sure, all our rifles are 7.62 mm" Not exactly final words, but had the speaker been present instead of using phone when he later explained that they really had Swedish 6.something mm rifles instead of Russian 3-line models, the supply officer would have probably shot him. This happened during Winter War at Summa sector and is reported in Wolf Halsti (the supply officer of the 5th Division) in his "Talvisodan päiväkirja". - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendellM Posted July 14, 2000 Share Posted July 14, 2000 Creative answers all, but I've gotta fall back on basic tactics (which I muff badly from time to time) hence: "Make those vehicles move fast; no likely enemies around!" (followed by buttoning-up sounds then !ker-plam! with much wailing from yours truly) I have to echo Wesreidau: "That called-in artil burst is *plenty* far from friendly troops!" "They're probably about out of ammo - charge!" And, when in a bad mood late at night: "Screw it, area-select everyone and order them to simply advance on the center of the enemy's concentration of force" (oddly this works maybe 1/4 of the time!)

Blackhorse Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 He can't possible have any more artillery He wouldn't dream of coming this way There, these guys oughta hold the line I can't miss from this range He can't hit from that range -snicker-snicker- That must be supporting effort That must be his main effort That must be his recon Those are probably his light tanks And finally, Where in the heck did that come from?

Fionn Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 Or here's my favourites.. Don't worry men, we'll be supported by Nebelwerfer fire ( I lost 10 men to my own Nbws while Blackhorse tells me he only lost 1.) Don't worry.. We'll have air support... I'm sure our own planes won't attack us again this time. Ps. Blackhorse, would the "recon, main, supporting" efforts be from our PBEM? Top 5 quotes from our current PBEM which my Bn commander would be saying... 1. Hehehe, with 5 FOs all in the 150mm+ range I'm going to pound the enemy into scrap ( so far ALL of my arty has killed 10 times as many of my own men as it has killed of the Amis). 2. 1 Lynx vs 1 occupied M8. Ha, my recon force will easily win that battle. 10 seconds later I have lost my last Lynx. 3. Hmm, I wonder where his men are.... (Cue sound of incoming bullets and Germans screaming as they get shot as an entire ridge only 20 metres away erupts in MG teams). 4. I think I'll keep my tanks and heavy support weapons back so they can use their long-range firepower and be safe from enemy return fire.... OH **** !! They can't draw LOS to ANY of the 4 locations where my men and the enemy are clashing.>. Quick, charge them into close range. 5. So guys, why do you think charging the enemy machinegun platoon didn't work? Was it the fact that an enemy infantry platoon was set up to ambush you as you charged or would you say that the 6 enemy tanks which suddenly appeared (which you hadn't known about ) and began pouring HE and MG fire into you as you ran across the open ground were the deciding factor? ( Has cost me the guts of a platoon in just 1 turn.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI Tom Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 - Is that incoming or outgoing fire..."BOOM" - BOOM. Hey, that sorta looked like it blew up my M8 from our flan...BOOM! (So much for scouting on the left flank with 2 M8's) -Move, Move, Move, Move, Move, Turn, Turn, Turn, Turn, Turn, Fire!, Fire!, FIRE!, FIRE! Huuuuuurrrrrrrry. BOOM. DOH! (The whole time I'm imitating the moves with my body) - Yeah! I fought the AI to a draw! Woohoo! (That's a good one for a newbie like me) Someone help me..I can't stop playing!
