Great batrep as always. But why aren't the Panthers at that hill on the left hull down, and then shoot and scoot back out of line of sight? Remember, smoke always has to be fired first. King Tigers did a "fury" and advanced needlessly on the Shermans, but got luck and didn't get punished by side shots. Yeah, needed to hide that Panther GQ ti keep the King Tigers running.
Glad you enjoyed the game. Without watching it again, I would say the Panthers were staying put to avoid the need for a 4+ blitz. Smoke barrages must be fired first in that turn but direct smoke has the requirement of being fired first per individual platoon. Hopefully it was played that way. As for the HQ, the lesson was use a Cross Here order to get out of trouble. And I was glad to see aggressive KTs. Sure it's risky! But sometimes you need to go for the kill and get the open shot. I'm publishing the second game tonight. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
well done peter. not sure why Mark didn't use cross here to move the panther HQ backwards out of the woods and hid it up as he would have passed automatically. This could have given the Tigers a good chance of staying on the field and a good chance of them being able to affect the result. Better luck next time
Nice video thanks a lot one question the Panther HQ make a cross test when enter in the woods when came for the reserves? I don't see it in the video German player put the tank directly in the woods
Hello Alejandro. I don't think we caught the roll on camera but I'm sure he rolled it. As for making rerolls with his HQ, I can't say if he forgot to use this at any point in the game.
So true. In V3, Brian had a single KT in a game against me with re-roll misses. I was using Soviets and it missed every single shot. It fired for the entire game too!@@valleygamingfowmesbgswl
I don't understand what happened with Panther SS? Why don't remount the tanks? It's the first thing to make and he roll for the infantry? Why don't use the reroll to the HQ to remount?

Good point Rex. Cross Here is a seldom used order in these parts for some reason.

Seeing those Panthers arrive first turn! Ouch!
It did look bad, didn't it. But ultimately underwhelming. So say the dice!
Turn 4 for peter 👌
That kinda clinched it! Not sure what would have happened if Mark had been able to keep the KTs on the table.
@PanzerSchule I used King tigers last game and in 3 turns they killed 1 sherman lol

Mark's destroyed markers are tokens that you might have mistaken for bailed out markers. I think he did re-roll all his remount failures.
