Awful online introduction - is it just me?

[Reform]

Ha! My son is handing me my @ss as we speak. He's played it previously and I went in blind. Oh and I the allies ... Well I've worked out the speed and stealth but perhaps too late - should have read the "what you need to do to win" more carefully and avoided the jagd panthers ......

But happy to return to this - a real challenge.

Some days you win, some days you lose.

A friend of mine is currently bummed out/ A Chaffee just 1 shotting a Panther? He was disgusted. True in a game like ASL you can look at a chart and realize 'ok I need to roll this crazy impossible number to hit, and then score this entirely unlikely number to kill'. Some games are like that.

But I routinely watch as King Tigers are shot up, and Tigers made to surrender and Panthers get blown away. And I have watched games where it was clear, those high price tags German cats are just not worth the points in some cases.

My favourite units are the 25pdr equipped items, and the Priests. I can trash anything with those. If I can see your big cat, it's likely dead meat.

I never fight fair though, you don't just shoot at a big cat as if you were it's equal. Hit it with a mortar, then cheap shot it with a tank from ambush, just one shot and if you get no kill then someone else takes a stab at it.

And you just don't play the shooting at em in the open game. if a big cat has 3 open squares in all directions, then leave it alone. Wait till it goes closer to cover. They all eventually end up needing to move closer to some form of cover. If they insist on sitting in the open, hit them with air or arty.

Now that's a rule you live by when fighting pesky German Armour, but never EVER try and duel with them in open fields, even if you have cover. The Tanks will wreck you! And if your under time constraints and need one desperate assault on a VP, then in my case, if there isn't a plan B, have a small tank move out and take up all their shots (less chance for kill) then send everything at them!
