What about the tank crew?
They were witnesses.
Guess he'll either buy their silence or better yet make sure, they don't talk:shock:

Re: Amazing feats from your units?
 

Well they were complicit, so no worries there.


From a realism standpoint; this sort of thing was much more common than is generally acknowledged. I guess it's not the sort of thing that troops want to talk about. And I'm sure it was usually covered up or at least not mentioned/avoided in the paperwork.

Yep damned jerry AT gun was to blame, have to keep moral up & it would be a shame to tarnish such a great days work.

Had slightly diffrent one a while back, enemy tank shot at my halftrack & hit the tank beside it Grrrrrrr. Missing & hitting a better target probably does not happen that often.

Randall cracked! :eek:
Load him with barbiturates and send him home!:)

Re: Amazing feats from your units?
 

Had this happen more than once,
Forgot to unload a squad from a tank and run into hidden infantry which KO's tank and squad.
When will I learn?
Doh.

Re: Amazing feats from your units?
 

Here is an odd one just happened in my AI campaign game. (it is an assault) I was trying to move my mouse to the left of the screen to view the area ahead near the edge of the map. I accidently hit my keyboard with the mouse and off went my Sdkfz222 it moved about 10 hexes and ended its move on top of a hvy howitzer in the middle of a group of howitzers. The brits had some AA dug in about 6 hexes away and they unloaded on my 222. They missed me but took out 2 of the dug in howitzers and suppressed a 3rd into retreat. During their turn they finished off the 3rd howitzer. All that and I never fired a shot. Unfortunately my 222 was routed and took off like a scared rabbit. Now I can shoot a hundred rounds at a dug in howitzer and not even rout it but all this was done by 4 40mm bofors or maybe 5 (I wasnt paying much attention as was p'ed about the accidental movement)

Now, who should be awarded the Knight's Cross, the Bofors' gunners, or the "scared rabbit" SdKfz 222? :)

Re: Amazing feats from your units?
 

Yea I guess I could say that the 222's radio antenna got shot off and he just wanted to get back to headquarters to report the location of the AA guns and give a sit rep.:D:D:angel

Re: Amazing feats from your units?
 

Ditto to Gila. I had a miss on an enemy tank and ended up immobilizing one of my own heavy AFVs. That was a big bummer. If I remember, I didn't ever get the guy and he smoked my units on his next turn.

I know this is a WW2 thread but I just had a Mag'ach (Israeli tank) move to rescue an APC, it was a desperate move. Hit chance 11% versus the threats thought I might get one but was going to use the discharger. 3 shots later 3 burning wrecks then it fired at a near by squad with its MGs killing 3 men. During the enemy turn it then managed to hit a helo that the Hovets failed on despite good hit chances with 4% I think. Dont know what they use for a lucky charm but the gunners got one.
