Re: British OOB / 25pdr AT gun
Shan,
Utilizing 25pdrs as AT, does require some craftiness on the commanders part. But, if you can get the German forces into a 600 to 800m killzone, you'll find a lot of smokin' wreckage.
I've done this in the past in the defence, setting two horseshoe shaped killzones with 6 guns per ambush. I set all my forces to ZERO range and had everybody hold fire until a good part of the German panzer were in one of the killzones and then had everybody open up. I hosed down all the panzers first with MG's making sure they buttoned up, then let the 25pdrs have their way. The results were excellent with most of the few survivors retreating. Only damage to my guns was from artillery called down too late for the attacking force.
It's a Rommel type trap in reverse. Trick being keeping your forces from reacting until you are ready, and making the most shots yourself.
Good Hunting,
