Ok that's twice

[GeorgeBates]

I recall reading in either an Annual or Journal, if someone has a +2 acq on you with a 75mm (or larger) piece of ordnance, MOVE!

I believe that was an AAR or scenario review for A93, "Faugh A' Ballagh!" 75mm-armed Churchills. Can't recall the publication, but it was AH/MMP.

Bottom line: 12 column on the IFT is likely to be bad news.

Requisition one of these... View attachment 29984

That's one of my "I have never tried..." situations.

You are probably thinking HS32 "A Few Rounds".
This (standalone) scenario from the "Operation Veritable" HASL features some Sturmtigers of Sturmmörser Kompanie 1002.
.........

I'll have to make an effort to have a whack at this some time.

I'll have to make an effort to have a whack at this some time.

Perchance there will be a fresh AAR around here in the forseeable future to bait you.
And a prepared VASL file on the ASL Scenario Archive website in the User Files of that scenario...

In fact, this happened not far from where I live. Quite remarkable regarding the fact that only 18 Sturmmörser Tiger were produced in WW2, which were deployed in three companies (1001, 1002, 1003). In the beginning of October, I will visit the area together with Bruce Probst (from Australia, currently preparing for Arnhem Tournament) on a battlefield tour of the "Battle of the Hochwald Gap" for which I have won the local historian who did his PhD on the time of WW2 in the area. He also assisted in the TV-show on the "Battle of the Hochwald Gap" in the "Greatest Tank Battles" series. In another battlefield tour of the Wesel Brigdehead I did with him a number of years ago, I actually met the old veteran of the 116th Panzer-Division featuring in that show. I thank the Lord that I have not yet been living at that grim time.

Maybe before or after the battlefield tour, I can get in a game of HS32 with Bruce.

Unbelievably, I managed to get overrun by a Sturmtiger in J100 For a Few Rounds More — twice in one MPh! Yes it is possible, just barely when starting in motion adjacent. I don’t think he wanted to risk ammo depletion and figured why the hell not…

Well, they say the third time's the charm....

I think he ended up just driving away his next player turn. If I recall, I was a lowly American 3-4-6. No harm was done to any humans or large cats in the execution of the overrun.
