The British tank guns were generally poor (2 pounders mainly) and required having to get up close to be of any effect - which meant running the gauntlet for the best part of 1.5km before they could get into effective range. <br /><br />The Grant and Shermans with their 75mm guns made for a temporary shift in the balance - until the Germans introduced the Tiger in the late desert war. It amazed the Germans that in 1944 the Allies were still dependent upon the 75mm gun and the Sherman tank which were clearly not up to the task of taking on the Tigers and Panthers. The bravery of British crews going into battle knowing this is remarkable,Broedershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218127480258279732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087578628320775334.post-60353207347870751232014-06-27T10:52:21.340-07:002014-06-27T10:52:21.340-07:00Damn fine battle report ian which summed the battl...Damn fine battle report ian which summed the battle up very nicely.<br /><br />Because of the dynamic nature of this scenario there is something about it which does make you want to play it again. There is a lot of different options open to both forces and I would be keen to try and overrun those German anti tank guns with a sweeping kamikaze tank attack.<br /><br />Whilst I was beaten proper the points in the end were closer than I thought. Thanks for putting this one on again, a different game to when phil and I played it a few years ago and well played to mark.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816588996042583280noreply@blogger.com
