My greatest victory

[Aeraaa]

OK, it's against the AI, but it was such a massacre I thought I'd rather share the results (For the record it's an Israel vs Syria scenario, the "to settle the score" one):

Wow! Congratulations! That's quite a score!

My best victory was "Skirmish At Steinberg," where I destroyed literally every unit the A.I. possessed (2402 points, though I'm positive my score was 2398, so a crew must have escaped), while losing ... 6 points. Just 6.

Didn't know how to take screenshots at the time, though.

When you see this kind of turkey shoot,i wonder why some still complain the AI uses too much artillery ect...

Nice going. Aren't those Merkava's terrific? On my try they took over a dozen hits, maybe half from ATGM's, but only one got fried from an unseen enemy lurking in an adjacent woods hex (never did get that sucker). Their anti-HEAT is simply marvelous. Even those armored APC's (Achzarit) the Izzies have are tough nuts to crack. Lost only one of those to a flank missile hit, another to lucky artillery. Scenario's a bit(?) unbalanced maybe but hey, it was fun.

For the record final score was 30,000 and change to a little over 2,300. Could've done better but I just HAD to fool around with an Apache, succeeding in having it shot down by radar flak. Great way to flush 700 points down the gurgler. Plus I forgot to dismount two 90-point snipers from ATV's that were later lost . Live and learn, eh?

Kurt is right there are easier ones, cant remember which scenario but I know got well through it then realised I had not lost a man. Cant remember enemy casualties but in the end 1 of my squad lost a man to enemy squad fire. 3 or 4 were killed by artillery & an APC went bang. Cursed at that one it was my fault.

Yeah I know the feeling. It's so easy to spoil a "perfect" win by acting impulsively. You want to kick yourself for being so careless. Nice thing about Steel Panthers is we have plenty of opportunities to discover our own weaknesses!

Merkavas are indeed awesome. One of mine took a direct hit from a Kornet and survived, now that's a feat! (so much for a lieutenant I knew telling us Kornet can destroy any known tank in existence...)

That being said, I did lose 2 from carelessness, if I didnt my score would be even better (though I dont remember how I lost them, I think one from a close assault and one from an ATGM of some sort, Syrian tanks didnt even fire a shot at my tanks...)

Give yourself a pat on the back,then try a PBEM game!
