Firefly Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Unspotted 2 inch mortar perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasToast Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Now that a few turns have elapsed, it is time to end the controversy. This screenshot shows an unspotted infantry unit attacking the halftrack in question from 31m. The grenade is in the air, and actually flies over the head of the liberated prisoners running for cover in the center. Just chalk it up to poor spotting by a buttoned up halftrack in the fog. P.S. Got him with a PIAT a few turns later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I suspect you got a big kick out of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted August 23, 2002 Author Share Posted August 23, 2002 Ah, that's why I had to rewatch the film closely. The attack seem to come from the captured unit/turned active, but was only from their direction. When the film runs a first glance appears to have the captured unit engaged.

Wally's World Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Originally posted by Elijah Meeks: It reminds me of those bloody-minded Confederates at Fredericksburg (Or was it Cold Harbor?), who said, upon seeing the bravery of their opponents, "We forgot they were fighting us and cheered at their courage." Cold Harbor. Afterwards Grant admitted that the Union attacks were a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
