turns out ... my opponent isn't on the ladder, so I can't report our result.
I'll do so here.
The scenario was "First Blood" and my brave Poles will has been broken.
My opponent Paulus has conducted an attack of unprecedented violence.
I have decided to concede.
Its wasn't war ... it was murder.
I'll share just one example .....all units have 6 sps .....
Paulus advances an eng onto a mine field at the corner stone of my D
The inf platoon covering the mines op fires ... no effect.
The eng fires back. into the woods, ... minus 5 retreated. (Odds 1 : 24,000)
Well .... we Poles are stuborn, so next turn ...
I advanced 2 fresh platoons into the same hex
fired at the eng, and forced him to retreat.
And ...
Paulus advanced the eng back onto the mine, fired ...
-3 retreated. (Odds 1 : 146)
The odds of these 2 events occuring,
on consecutive shots,
at Combat odds of 3 : 2, (it was worse, 12 to 7 with a .8)
is 1 in 3.5 million.
1 in 3.5 million.
8 sps lost, in 2 shots, into the woods.
Meanwhile, my trenches were filling with bodies too.
Simply Murder. Shock and Awe.
And so it went.
Unprecedented loses.
And all done without a single assualt !!
Not one.
Ironically, in retrospect, my units where far safer in the open than they were in a trench.
The victory is yours Paulus.
BTW ... if you register for the ladder, i can report the result.

ahhhh .... the memories
