Nice way to take out a tank!
another dead tank
@silverfox and @wilco92 – definitely need a lucky roll to take out a tank with a 5cm mortar, basically landing a shell right on the upper engine deck of a moving tank. very unlikely, but if it hits, well, that’s where the armour is absolute weakest.
Has Gerry changed to a different Pearl jam shirt half way through the day or am I getting confused?
first PJ shirt was friday, this PJ was Sunday, and I Soundgardened in the middle 😀
Ah yes. The Soundgarden shirt. I was wondering what had gone wrong to cause you to need to change clothes, and what had happened to cause you to have a spare set on stand by in the first place. BoW is a strange place, after all
you’re not wrong 😉
Don’t let @avernos fool you, @lawnor. He had to change his shirt. Let’s just say Biffin Bridge can be a messy place.
Pushing deep past Biffen’s Bridge will always end up messy Jim
I swear almost everything that gets said at BoW sounds filthy these days, even if its not meant to.
You think I’m kidding, @avernos, but I’m drawing up a Biffin’s Bridge scenario now. 😀 A long, jagged gorge on one side, and a precipitous sinkhole on the other.
😐
😐
😐
😐
By the title and thumbnail i though someone chipped the paint of one of john tanks. LOL
so the medium mortar killed the tank? like how?! paper ceiling?
6’s to hit, 6’s to penetrate and then a 6 on the damage roll, practically impossible. literally hilarious
Some of you found it funny.
It’s a good job the tables are bolted down…;)
you love me really 😉
Only for the Quavers
@avernos and @damon – I’ll be honest – a 5cm / 2″ section-level mortar taking out a tank really sounds like something that only happens on a gaming table. 🙂
There was an instance of a British 2″ mortar fired and accidentally hit an ammo truck that was rearming a Tiger in Normandy. The explosion dislodged the Tigers turret and it had to abandoned. Would that count ?
Apologies it was a Tiger 2 at Mont Pincon
I’ll take that
Popped it on the noggin!
My mortars must be firing t shirts or something because this hasn’t come close to happening to me
Yep, @collins. 😀
I love it, @patrickkyle82 – I want a 2-inch T-shirt mortar now. 😀
Mortars never do anything like that 🙂
I agree, @skodamarine – a 5cm / 2″ section-level mortar taking out a tank really sounds like something that only happens on a gaming table.
Yay! this was the medal I was looking most forward to seeing
I was shocked how long it took to get it, I was sure a pak would’ve gained the honour also. Just goes to show you can’t write the endings some times
This is very t rue. Those PaK 38 5.0 cms reallyshould have been wompin’ on those Valentines or at least Humber armoured cars / universal carriers (or did those not count as they are actually not tanks?)
I think they kept it to the valentines and 8-rads as they at least had some armour
that mortar has some spiced up misiles!!
congrats
Great way to make John cry.
mortars killed a tank??? Okay who left the top hatch open??
Pvt Charley sir, he just nipped out for a whizz sir, sorry sir *salutes*
An unlikely way to take out a tank. Someone’s gonna have to explain the quavers joke.
We can’t talk about the Quavers…
we really don’t
death rains from above, nice work bro.
Drop a mortar round through the turret hatch!
Using an AT Gun would be too easy, I like the challenge set down here to destroy a tank without one! Surely the prize should be doubled?
Wait, the Germans are supposed to loose in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
That’s one hell of a shot, congrats!
Nice one!
I guess it was raining and the tank took it.
Fun game.
