Barticus Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Had an experience last night which surprised me. Fought a quick battle with Allies attacking (vs. AI), I played the Allies and bought, among other things, 2 x M4 Shermans. Plain Jane M4 smoke-em-if-you-hit-em Ronson type Shermans. Well, long story short, the ONLY vehicle to survive the encounter was one of the M4's. His final kill tally; 1 x 81mm mortar, 14 Infantry Casualties, 1 x Panther G, and 3 (yes, three) Tigers! Sunuvabitch! Can we say Silver Star anyone? Anyone else have any stories to share? Bart ------------------ "I have slipped the surly bonds of earth...."

Kingfish Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 The AI picked a Panther G and three Tigers! Wow, first time I heard that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Well, there was this one time... I was fighting a reverse-hill defense and the enemy stormed a heckuva-lot of Shermans, Stuarts, and HT's w/ infantry support over the ridge. One of my 76mm AT's scored over 6 armored casualties and more then a dozen infantry casualties! Not a very unlikely hero, but a hero none the less! ------------------ "...Every position, every meter of Soviet soil must be defended to the last drop of blood..." - Segment from Order 227 "Not a step back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmek Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Here's a hero from a scenario on the disk. Some of you may recognize it. This was the Tank Destroyer that could. Note the early graphics and toolbar. I guess I put him in a good location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dog Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 How about this, a Sherman 75 with _2_! King Tiger K.O.s Pic is trimmed a bit to fit, but you can see both knocked out KTs. Scenario was LaGleize, and I'll confess one of the KTs was bogged (but still firing). Both kills were flank shots at under 100 meters. You go boy! - Old Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russellmz Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 you can't see it but he was immobilized too. i think he got 10 more infantry before he was knocked out. ------------------ russellmz, Self-Proclaimed Keeper for Life of the Sacred Unofficial FAQ.

tss Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Here's an interesting picture on things going horribly wrong for Germans: Three of the vehicles were knocked out by two Greyhounds, the rest by the Shermans that are shown in background (the combat happened few turns earlier and the Shermans were further back then). My losses: several rounds of ammunition. Opponent's losses: 1 Stug-IV, 3 Stug-III, 1 Pz-IV, 1 Marder, and 1 halftrack. - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
