LC- Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 I was just playing the Villers-Bocage operation and after the first battle I have 5 tiger tanks left. One being Wittman. When I started the second battle I noticed that not only do I have the first tank Wittman started in, but I also have the second tank he takes over in the second battle! So I now have two elite Wittman commanded tanks. talk about a reinforcement! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four Stringer Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Exact same thing happened to me. Kinda' embarrasing to get Herr Wittman killed twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Yep, you somehow always get another Wittman on the 2nd battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Got that same thing too. Sneaky Germans eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalin's Organ Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Probably because wittman's tank was KO'd in the first one (historically), so he went and got another one. If you want to be perfect about it drive one of them off the map. Otherwise put it down to good planning and go kick some butt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC- Posted June 15, 2001 Author Share Posted June 15, 2001 Yeah, if I ever get around to finishing the operation I will make the tommies pay for not taking out the first Wittman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC- Posted June 17, 2001 Author Share Posted June 17, 2001 Just to let everyone know who was curious about what happened to my two Wittmanns; well I HATE to say it but both got knocked out in the second battle of the scenario. I did end up getting a total victory for the operation but I advanced my tank force a little too quickly and let the Shermans and Cromwells get too close. lost a few more tanks than I should have for it but I guess I still have to shake the Command and Conquer "tank rush" out of me. after all this is a REAL wargame.

YECoyote Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 LOL. That's funny. I gotta try that operation. I passed it by and downloaded "21st Panzer Attacks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrene Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Hey FourStringer, I just read your profile...Maybe you can hook a fella up with a Deluxe P-Bass? Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Since I designed the op here's the real scoop. The odds of a realistically acting Wittmann suriving the first scenario are low (Unless you run him away somewhere safe or get very lucky). However in RL after getting his tank knocke out he and his crew moved out 5 miles back to Div HQ and led a second force back to VB so I include him again. If having a second Wittmann bothers anyone just assume the other Wittmann is actually Joe Wittmann. No relation to the first one. Los Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen-x87H Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 I was playing the villars-bocage scenario a week ago and decided to have fun. What would happen if Wittman was equipped with IMO the best tank of WWII? The Panther. I found the only real way to beat that damn scenario is to have wittman lay the ground work for the other tanks to deal with the HTs. He was a real killer also. Usually killing 8 HTs and a couple of shermans before going down. I did have him survive once only to have his track knocked off by that damned AT gun in the rear of the town. Kind of fun IMHO Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
