stimpy Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 SPOILERS BELOW! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . So I am playing the First Clash at Cambres scenario via PBEM with a friend. I have my tanks moving in two quartets up both sides of the large forest area. The quartets consisted of: 1st Quartet ----------- 3 x Reg Sherman II 1 x Reg Sherman IIC Firefly 2nd Quartet ----------- 3 x Reg Sherman V 1 x Reg Sherman VC Firefly Well first run-in with the enemy tanks consisting of two Vet Panzer IVGs and one Vet Panzer IVH went like this: - lost one Sherman II - killed one Panzer IVG - killed other Panzer IVG - lost two Sherman IIs to Panzer IVH that went around a corner - lost IIC Firefly to the Panzer IVH - Panzer IVH taken out a couple turns later by combo of bomber and 81mm mortar The 3 tank losses were quick. This Panzer was 3 for 3 shots with about 8 seconds between each shot. So I thought "Whoa, that sucked... I'll take the right flank with my Sherman V quartet!" So in echelon formation I came rolling around a small clump of scattered trees to find the last Vet Panzer IVH hiding. He immediatly with 15 seconds has my two front tanks burning (Sherman V and VC Firefly). The beginning of the next turn he has the other two burning in 20 seconds with only one miss. My tanks got a total of one shot off... So now I have 8 burning tanks with nothing to show... Where did my tanks go? stimpy [This message has been edited by stimpy (edited 02-01-2001).] [This message has been edited by stimpy (edited 02-01-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Khann Posted February 2, 2001 Share Posted February 2, 2001 Stimpy, It's a good idea to include something like **POTENTIAL SPOILER** in the heading, or at the top of your post (and then include enough blank lines so a viewer would have to scroll down to see the spoiler info) when posting scenario specific information. Just as a courtesy to those who have not played the scenario yet. Just FYI. Papa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
