It didn't take long! Some British Tanks swung round to exploit the German flank and have taken some pot shots at their side armour.
It's always good to see the underdogs doing well considering things are starting to turn badly against the British. Will they be able to hold out with some good shooting?
Ah – I see what is happening – FeldMinion Justin is distracted with making updates, hence the shakiness of his flank.
Very true, @dorthonion – I wasn’t doing my best earlier in the boot camp with running games and trying to keep up with the campaign map. I can’t even imagine trying to win a tabletop game while shooting video.
AND Justin was up against @bothi , who is a wicked bad ass player (I lost to him earlier in the boot camp).
Nice , love the t shirts.
Such chaos and carnage … it looks so good
Could see a German unit break in the middle of table. Looks like Justin won’t be seeing the cavalry arrive in time.
Nice , gotta love free stuff
Well tanks don’t seem to too different, just bogs and morale seemed to have changed for tanks.
Looks that way, cross check ratings means it harder to get through the terrain but there’s no penalty if you fail.. Does that mean we’ll see more attempts to cross through terrain or not I’m not sure?? Certainly I think you’ll see more tanks assaulting into terrain as there’s no risk to it now for them
Interesting that it is noted the British are underdogs. Not sure how to take this. Based I what i am seeing, the Germans List and equipment is clearly slightly better than the British. Not trying to start a debate honestly… Great boot camp.
It’s a good question , @klute – the German tanks aren’t really better than the British ones, but they do get better special abilities like Stormtrooper (allows two movement orders instead of one). Better skill checks (so better on crossing checks, movement orders, etc). Some British tanks also have weaknesses like no HE ammo for 2, 6, and 17 lbr antitank guns, which makes them all but useless against soft targets. So the devil’s in the details. If you just line up tanks and blast away at each other, the British seem OP. It’s not until the German player really… Read more »
Nice kills well played
Hopefully he doesn’t turn around and blast you away next turn
Well played Andrew.
About time that the Brits started to fight back!
The best way to deal with an armored behemoth, assuming you can’t nuke it from the sky!
I presume deep striking with Swooping Hawks is out of the question here? 😀
Haha, Just order 2 sets of thous myself actually!
The achievements are falling as fast as the tanks.
Good shooting, side shots are difficult to get in flames
Very awesome! Solid Tactics!
Surprising that a Grant unit won this achievement. I would have expected it be won by Crusaders with their longer tactical speeds.
A question: How many tanks have they lost untill now?
Sideshot for the Win!
Wow, surprised it took this long to unlock!
Justin get back to your table,
Still a toss up. What a great game.
really ballsy move but you got to do what you got to do.
Wow great flanking move!
That’s the strategy! Keep Justin busy handing out prizes so he’s table goes slow and all the Brit armor can start heading his way!
