OH!...and this was bound to happen, a Tiger gets knocked out. A shell found its way into a vision slit. The other Tigers are holding and collecting a wide array of scratch marks on their paint job.

Tigers still delivering death!

and soon after that the game was called.

....the 6 Tigers, 1 was KO and 1 was LOA and 4 of them were bogged. The (3) T-34 companies were basically decimated. If the T34 companies had swarmed the Tigers all at once it would have been a different story. But they entered just sequentially enough to allow the Tigers to focus their full firing potential on one company at a time. Both sides felt the Direct Fire Option worked well....even if you were on the receiving end of it.The Soviet player got the benefit of it a couple times but still just couldn't punch the Tigers front armor.The Panthers and Elefants had already knocked out a few more SU-152 tanks reducing their numbers to half.The KV-1 tanks had gottne plagued with some IMM hits that resulted in crews abandoning their tanks. There wasn't much they could do.We palyed the game at 1"=50 yards versus our usual 1"=25 yards. It was interesting to see the armored wall appear when I thought there would be more room to maneuver.
