THE MALITZ TROPHY COMPETITION

[PoorOldSpike]

COMBAT FOOTAGE - Huzaar's Panther beats off 2 x T-34/85's single-handed..


PIC 1 - The Situation. All tanks are stationary. I want to nail the Panther but I don't want my T-34's to step forward into the street and have to contend with his front armour..





PIC 2 - So I slap 2 o'clock armour-arcs on them and step backwards into a firing position guaranteed to hit him in the side, how kewl is dat!
But oops, he's stepped backwards too and I'm looking at his front armour!
A burst of MG fire from the Panth shocks the front T-34 but no matter, the other one lets the Panth have a tungsten round right down its throat but it bounces off the hull front!!





PIC 3 - After seeing his shot bounce, the T-34 chickens and auto-slams forward, abandoning his still-shocked and paralysed mate who is quickly taken down by the Panther before he can recover and fire..




Noob note - See how CM tank combat is like a chess game, move and countermove, trying to outguess the enemy, a bit like a destroyer-v-submarine action, waddya say Captain Ramius?
