kump Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Well, I'm still camping on this thread to get more discussions on the game. All AARs are extremely welcome, no matter how small. Thanks to all those who have taken the time. Who's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrold Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I played a scenario downloaded from Boots and Tracks this afternoon. Had my ass waxed and handed back to me by the AI. Meeting engagement in a small village my recon and light armor reinforcements run into a large force of armor of varying ability to perforate my tin cans with wheels. What were the Germans thinking? After having a sizeable percentage of my force become perfect for roasting marshmellows, the reason for the early war tank panic becomes very apparent. The 20 and 37mm guns I briefly had may be OK for the aluminum foil covered armored cars, but the T-34's that my units almost identify before dying are a whole different matter at the range I unfortunately found myself engaging at. My infantry makes a decent coveraged approach to a couple flags but is discovered soon after my vehicles are all scrap metal. Their uniforms provide even less resistance to the shells and bullets. I guess that is what they call a lesson in pain. Love this game. BDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leakyD Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Just dorking around, but it seems green Panthers don't do well vs. veteran T-34/76's! I'm running in 1600x1200, so the text will prolly be hard to read in the pics....

mike the wino2 Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Sorry no screen shots from me but a little bit to salivate over. Sturmtiger is amazing. First QB the AI auto-surrendered on turn 14. Sturmtiger racked 162 of 282 casulaties. Elefant: 2 IS-2s, 2 T-34s, and 1 inf. Hetzer took 2 T-34s and 2 Stuarts. 1 Turin, 1 Grille, and couple other thin skinned AFV's brewed up by the Ruskies. There are lots of obscure tank types to play around with so I will be enjoying this game for a long time to come. The ROF for the Sturm is sloooooooowwww (3 turns to reload) but 1 shot took out 7-8 inf markers. Well worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnz Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Popular preCMBB debate reckoned the Sturmtiger reload time at 10 minutes.....but 3, thats pretty nippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
