Der Kuenstler Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Can anyone suggest the most balanced months of the war for a Meeting Engagement in North Africa? The nations would be unrestricted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Basically it would have to be pre_Tigers which I think historically landed at the end of November. Personally I don't worry too much provided I am playing on a huge map that is not flat! The British 6lber [57mm] can take Tigers with hail fire but most people would be happier with IV's versus M4's : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Yeide Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 El Guettar was a good meeting engagement with all sorts of great hardware on both sides. The II Corps had the best of the first day, but I'd argue the 10th Panzer Division had the better of it thereafter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackVoid Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think anything in 1943 should fit your bill. Early, the Brits do not have HE rounds which is a serious problem. In 1941, there is the Matilda problem which is unkillable by PzIIIs. Tigers are really not that much of a problem, the 6 pdr or the M-10 can kill them easily enough. Or fire away at them with small calibre guns until Tiger gets gun damage. If its mine, that is usually within 1 turn. The Tiger is also vulnerable from the side or rear to lesser tanks, at close range even a Stuart can kill it with a side shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Long barrelled PzIII's can kill Matildas - rather the same method as mobbing Tigers. In the final month of NA a platoon of Tigers vets costs 1171 points. Veteran platoons of Churchill's or M10s are around the 480 mark so going for Tigers would seem high risk. Some of the Churchill's will probably have some tungsten : ) Tigers may in theory die to the Allied tanks but its not a foregone conclusion as the smaller rounds do not necessarily kill a Tiger straight off and if they are in pairs you may never get to fire the killing shot. : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Early 41 is fun with Cruisers, M13/40's, and early Mk III's (avoid Matilda's) and late 42 is fun with Grants/Shermans vs Mk IVF2's and late Mk III's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidFields Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hmmm...the initial post says the nations would be unrestricted...but does not mention the composition of the forces. The following responses are all AFV related--make it almost all infantry, and most years probably become competative (depending on the terrain and light) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
