Gary Tatro -> Gary VS Boro World Cup Round 2 (10/24/2002 6:44:40 AM)
Welcome to a new episode of World Cup World Talk. I am your Host Bob and with me as always is my friend Dick. First a situation breifing. Team USA's Captian is Gary. Team USSR's Captian is Boro. Both Captians have agreed to no air drops on round 1, no prelaid mines, 10% artillary limit, Rarity off, limite ammo on, and 11,220 points to purchase. The contestants are playing on a map created by Wild Bill Wilder. W Europe Hill 206 - Falaise. The victory hexes have been altered so that even though this is a meeting engagement all the victory hexes for both sides are within their deployment fields. Now lets move on to Round 1 Captian Gary has devistated a cluster of Russian Infantry located in some woods in the middle of the map with 8 Inch Guns, spotters sighted the total destruction of 3 Russian Rifle squads and a MG squad. Well Bob what do you think of that. Ouch Dick that hurts me all the way up here in the news booth.

Gary Tatro -> Welcome to a new episode of world cup war talk. (10/26/2002 5:02:32 AM)
I am your host Bob and with me today as ussual is Dick. Well Dick it looks like Team USA is off to a good start. Some lead eliments are starting to see each other and that gave Captain Tatro ploting cordinates for that devistating artillary fire of the Good old US of A. Yes that is true Bob but Team USSR's guns have been strangely quite. It is almost erie how quite the Russian artillary has been. Make you kind of wonder what Captian Boro has up his sleave. Well that is all for this episode of World Cup war talk join us next time when you hear Captian Tatro say "Artillary fire, what art, ohhh."

Rick Borovec -> It begins (10/26/2002 3:10:07 PM)
With 11,000 points worth of units it was not hard for the Yankee Imperialist Pigs artillery to find a target. The Motherland expects it soldiers to sacrifice to gain the ultimate victory. Nice thing was those devestating 8 inch guns found nothing but trees and bushes with their second round of wasted ammo, yuk, yuk. Recon units moving to contact, traded shots with several Greyhounds and HTs, one kill each. Back to you, Dick.

Gary Tatro -> Well here we are with another episode of world cup war talk (10/27/2002 9:18:34 PM)
Well Dick there has been a flag called on the play. Captian Tatro has called foul after his units repeatedly tried to destroy a BA-11 and getting no where, Captian Tatro looked up the preferences and noticed that the Soviet Armor rating was at 1636%. Captian Tatro would like to appologize to Captian Boro and the Crowd assemble being that he set up the game, and it is now a false start. Captain Tatro will try again and hopefully we can move forward in a timely fashion.

VikingNo2 -> (10/28/2002 7:32:20 AM)
Thats strange me and Rick 3/2 had the same problem. Maybe a bug ? The exact same rate as well 1636 :eek:

Rick Borovec -> Here we go again (10/31/2002 3:01:27 PM)
Alright, we have fixed the armor values, re-purchased and deployed. Preliminary Bombardments netted the US a big fat ZERO, this worked out well for the Russians compared to our last start. First blood goes to the Russian artillery, scratch one US Jeep. First turn: Not much to report, moving into position, spotted one lone Greyhound snooping around.

Gary Tatro -> Well Bob here we are (10/31/2002 8:23:19 PM)
with a brand new episode with world cup war talk. As Captian Boro mentioned the Team USA got bashed around a bit with Captian Boro's artillary barage. It seems he decided to go with all offboard 152mm. Yes Dick that appears to be quite a bit of a different startegy from last time. Team USA better watch out 152mm can wreak any infantryman's day, and we know how Captian Tatro likes his infantry. Yes Dick I agree. When this one heats up it will get really interesting really fast. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when Captian Boro say Counter battery fire they can't do that. :)

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup war talk (11/4/2002 9:05:47 AM)
I am your host Bob and with me as ussual is Dick. Today we will discuss the art of menuvers in the back field. What have you to say on this Dick. Well Bob it all has to do with what you are facing. Lets look at the field. Captian Tatro is facing Team Russia. Now the Russian have tanks that have great armor. If Captian Boro can use this to his advantage it will be total destruction for Team USA. The reason of this is that Team USA just does not have any tank that can stand toe to toe with the IS-1 and the KV-1's the M4 just does not have enough penatration to blow through the front armor. So he will have to rely on his infantry, artillary or his ATG's which even 3 inchers might have trouble with the front armor of an IS-1. So he will have to menuver and get side and rear shots on these monsters. I do not know how he will do this but we shall see how the battle unfolds. What is happening down on the battlefield today. Not much Bob, Captian Tatro slaged a BA-11 that was leading the Russian forces, but besides that just a lot of menuvering. That is all for now. Join us next time for in depth look at the IS-1. That is all the time we have for today.

Rick Borovec -> Turn 2 (11/4/2002 2:26:27 PM)
Orders were "Movement to contact", which is what happened. Engaged several 3 in. AT guns, spotted numerous infantry positions, lost a BA11 to a M4 Sherman lurking in the brush.

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/5/2002 8:17:30 AM)
I am your Host Bob and with me a always is my good friend Dick. Well Dick talk about HEAVY Contact, I must have counted 5 full complanies of armor down there on Team Russia's side. I see IS-1's, T-34/85's, KV-1s's and a company of BA-11's and SU-57's thrown in for good messure. Yes sir that is one HEAVY armor contact. Well after Captain Tatro changed his pants what did he do about it. Well Bob Captain Tatro skillfully moved up his halftracks, Grayhounds, 50 cal Jeeps, and M15A1's to engage Captain Boro's weeker SU-57's and BA-11's. Quite successfully I will say at that. Team USA destroied about a company's worth of AFV's. Ha Ha, well Dick Captain Tatro only has Six more companies to go and he will be on even footing with his opponent. Yes that is true Bob, Captain Tatro also had his infantry throw up a wall of smoke to protect them from the long range bombardement of the heavier tanks. We will see if it works. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when Captain Tatro says What, tanks I can't hear you because of all the Russian tanks moving in on our position. :D

Rick Borovec -> Turn 3 (11/5/2002 2:29:02 PM)
The Americans are using excellent tactis in trying to contend with the Russian heavier firepower. The russian recon units took the brunt of this last turns action, the americans fired a few hundred rounds at each to suppress them and then moved up some Greyhounds to finish them off. Then they hid behind a smoke screen that prevented retaliation during the russian turn. Thats OK, smoke works both ways, I may not be able to see him, but to see me he has to move out from behind it, and I'll be waiting.

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/6/2002 8:02:51 AM)
I am your host Bob and with me always is Dick my good friend. Let us begain with a quick discription of the senario as it unfolded. Up north Captain Tatro had ploted artillary to land before his advance. Very key in combined arms assualts. This netted him 3 KV-1S's to Assualts from his Rangers. Next accross the map Captain Tatro continued to use his tatics of moving infantry forward one hex and fireing at the lightly armored BA-11's and SU-57's, then moving M8 Greyhounds, M15A1's M3A1 Halftracks and 50 Cal Jeeps up to finish off the suppressed units. This netted Captain tatro another 4 BA-11's and 2 more SU-57's. In the middle of the map Captain Tatro had ploted his 8'Inch OBA to land on some T34/85's and IS-1's hidding in some woods last turn. And low and behold they did not move and got blasted. With all three T34/85's and 2 other IS-1's routed or retreating Captian Tatro ran up his Rangers in halftracks and move in his M4's and finished off all three T34/85's and one of the IS-1's. His assualt group also found a platoon of Russuan Guards all routed in the woods, they were quickly sent running. After all of this the assualt group droped a TON of smoke to try to prevent/protect from a counter strike. Which might be coming from a very large tank force from the North. In the Southern Part of the map a different story is unfolding. Here Captain Boro is moving in force with a least two full companies of T34 m.43 imps loaded with Tankodesantniki. These companies also are supported by a couple of platoons of IS-1's and BA-11's. Captain Tatro saw this force and desided that prudence is the better part of valor and droped about 20 thousand tons of artillary shells on this huge armor cluster. Well Bob this just in an exclusive interview with Captian Tatro. Here he is, Captain Tatro can you tell us, "how do you think the battle is going?" "Very well Dick, I am a little worried about that Southern contingent but hopfully the American artillary will pull through for me." "Captain can you give a quick analysis of the battle so far, basically what you think have been your opponents mistakes and yours as well?" "Sure Dick, well as far as my mistakes I feel that I am using up to much of my smoke to early in the battle. At this rate I will be out of smoke well before the battle is half way through. Also this last turn I got a little gready and left some units exposed. " "As for Captain Boro, I a loath to give him pointers on where I am taking advantage of him but I will give a quick analysis. First I quickly noticed that Team Russia had a Huge amount of armor. This lead me to believe that Captian Boro went light on his Infantry. Which is ok, if you can keep the well armored and larger bored Russian tanks at range and pluck away at your attackers as they rush you but does not work well if your opponet gets his infantry in close. I noticed that even though there was a lot of armor there was very little in the way of infantry sightings and no halftracks. Also for some reason Captain Boro has left Huge tank forces out in the open without any cover. Just sitting in the road or fields. Strange, because the only times I leave any unit out in the open is when I feel there is no way for my opponet to get to them. Captain Boro also leaves units and men in the same place turn after turn even when he knows that they have been spoted. Well that is all the time we have for today, join us next time as we interview Captain Boro. This is Bob Henderson signing off.

Rick Borovec -> It is almost uglier than it sounds (11/6/2002 3:42:01 PM)
The americans are definately putting the hurt on the russians, however I hope that I am not as inept of a commander as appears. Considering I just finished turn 4, my units have not remained in stationery positions turn after turn as reported. The units that did not move were supressed beyond the ability to move them, for the most part anyway. Gary has had lady luck on his side with more than a few middle teen percentage shots getting kills, while my losey russian gunners can't hit the broad side of a barn, even when they get mid-70% shots. Fortunes of war. I may have just also ran into a superior commander and thats what this game is all about. Hopefully I live to fight another day, and become a better commander myself. A long ways to go yet..........................

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/7/2002 4:23:00 PM)
I am your host Bob and with me as always is my co-host Dick. Well Dick it looks like we have another exciting show here today. What do you think? We sure do Bob Captain Tatro hit that South massive group of armor on the flank and inflicted some heavy damage. I counted 6 T34 m41imp's, one IS-1, a Carrier FO, and a platoon of Tankodesantniki. Ouch! Yes Dick that is true but captain Tatro left himself wide open for a counter attack and he only took out about a 2/5ths of that armor force. If Team Russian can rally after the artillary barage then Team USA is in for a whole world of hurt. Also if Captian Boro had a reserve unit behind this large southern group Captain Tatro might find his flanking force flanked itself. Yes that is true Bob but I think that Team USA's artillary will pull Captian Tatro through, and I don't think Captain Boro has that reserve unit waiting in the forest. But we will see. Lets see what is going on else where in the battle field. In the North all is strangly quite after the last two tremendous rounds of action. Not one shot fired. Hmm seems a little ominous. Captain Tatro must have something planed. And in the Center of the map we see Captian Tatro has Blitzed forward taking out two more IS-1's and two T34/85's along with another platoon of Soviet infantry. Yes Dick but I think Tatro is moving forward to fast in the Center he is leaving him self open to a flank from that armor group up north. Well, Bob we will just have to wait and see. That is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we talk to Captian Tatro about the merits of not hitting your own troops with your artillary barage. :(

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/10/2002 2:10:54 PM)
I am your host Bob and with me as always is Dick. Well Dick what another exciting day for Team USA. Yes Bob, Captain Tatro completed his flanking menuver on that Southern armor group to devistating effect for team Russia. Our spotters counted 2 companies of Tankodesantniki destroied along with 1 IS-1, 6 T34 m.41 imps to assualts, 3 crews jumped out of T34 m41 imps and were eliminated leaving their tanks abandoned. That left only one platoon of T34 m.41 imps left to battle and three of these tanks are completely surrounded by Rangers assualting them. Wow Dick talk about grim, I feel kinda of sorry for Captain Boro, it is always painful watching something like that on the replay. What else is happening on the battlefield? Well Bob in the center Team USA continues to blitz forward. One crew from an IS-1 that was assualted numerous times last turn jumped out and were guned down. Team USA found a lingering SU-57 in the trees and destroied it. They also found another IS-1 quite by accident and it cost Captian Tatro two halftracks, but he was able to get his Rangers in close enough to assualt it numerous times to no effect. Yes Dick, but I am sure that the IS-1 crew is heavly suppressed. What happened up North? After being hit by Team USA's 8 Inch artillary, Captian Tatro Blitzed forward and assualted two more KV-1's to death. Wow what a turn for Team USA, it seems that Lady Luck is still shinning on him. Well that is all the time we have, join us next time when we here Captain Tatro say "But I have destroied all his tanks. Right? What the?"

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup war talk (11/12/2002 10:18:17 AM)
I am your host Bob and with me always is my good friend Dick. Well Dick this rounds was kind of a let down compared with the last two wouldn't you say. Yes Bob, but I think it had more to do with Team USA running out of enemies than anything else. Your right Dick, well lets take a look at the field. Up North Captain Boro Pulled his last Armor group back in time to get missed by some heavy artillary. Yes Bob, and it saved him his last armor group. Captain Tatro was not able to move his men in close enough to assualt his tanks. In the Center Team USA continues to blitz forward running into Soviet Guards and heavy machine guns guarding the center victory hexes. They capped two more T34/85's in this area. Down South, what a mess, destroied and abandoned AFV's everywhere, next turn we are going to try to get a picture of that for our viewers. What a sight. Well Team USA finished off that last platoon of T34 m.41 imps and started moving out. Captain Tatro got a little ahead of himself though. Did not perform proper scouting procedures and it cost him two Greyhounds to Soviet Guards well hidden in the woods. Well thats all the time we have for today. Join us next time as we rush for the victory hexs, gota grab them before reenforcements arrive.

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/14/2002 10:09:05 PM)
I am your host Bob and with me always is my good buddy Dick. Well Dick kind of a disappointing round for Team USA this time. Yes Bob Team USA seems to be making some mistakes rushing for the Victory Hexes and it has cost them a number of halftracks and M15A1s to the Russian 12.7 HMG's that were hidden and well placed in the back of the map. Also Captain Tatro ordered his men to assualt an unsuppressed IS-1 that was lurking in some trees and was well supported by HMG's and Infantry again loosing a number of halftracks and a bunch of Rangers got shot up. What about the good news Dick. Well there was some very heavy fighting in the center rear of the map as Team USA took there first set of Victory hexes. These were heavly defended by engineers and Russian Guards but were taken away from them and are now in USA hands. In the northern part of the map a crew from a T34/85 that was assualted numerous times last turn jumped out of thier tank and were gunned down along with 2 50mm mortors. Also an IS-1 was hit by a platoon of M4's about 12 times in the rear at around ten hexes. Hey Bob what is the sound of an M4 hitting an IS-1 with a round of AP from its main gun? Well that have to be "Klong, or Klunk, or Kaching" anything but Kaboom. We must have counted ten rounds hiting the REAR hull and REAR turret of an IS-1 by M4A's. Yes Bob the M4 as a main battle tank is definetly over rated in my opinion. Not much else to report just Team USA blitzing forward now on all fronts. Join us next time when we hope to here Captain Tatro yell "Touch Down"

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/16/2002 10:14:08 AM)
I am your host Bob and with me as always is Dick. Today we saw a great example of tanks defending and being supported by infantry and how the attackers just end up destoried or retreating. As Captain Tatro losses his first two M4's in the battle so far. Also it is official! There has been AUX units sited. It looks like a company of T34/85's and a compnay of half tracks with Russian Guards in them. Things could get tough again for team USA. Team USA has also managed to take two more victory hexes in the south and found a small artillary park of 120mm. Bad for Team Russian good for the home team though. Well that is all the time we have for today. Join us next time when we hear Captain Tatro say "More tanks, god how many do they have?"

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/17/2002 10:36:21 PM)
I am your host Bob and and with me as allways is my good friend Dick. Today we have an exciting episode for you but not from Captian Tatro's perspective but from Captain Boro's perspective. That's right Bob Captain Boro's reinforcements finally arived and he put a hurtting on Team USA with them, destroying anther M4, a platoon of halftracks and a platoon of Rangers along with a couple of 50 cal Jeeps, two Greyhounds and a platoon of M1A15's. Ouch Dick that has got to hurt Captain Tatro's confidence a little. It sure did Bob Captain Tatro performed an immediate withdraw and regroup doing almost no damage at all this turn. And that is about all that happend this round. Join us next time when we hear Captain Tatro shout "Revenge":D

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/18/2002 9:01:24 AM)
I am your host Bob and with me as ussual is my friend Dick. Today we have a double episode of world cup war talk. After regrouping from Captian Boro's successful attack on the center victory hexes, Captain Tatro has hit Team Russia's southern flank and has pushed the Russians back again and again into the upper north western courner of the map. Team Russian again on the defensive is fighting tenasiously like Russians do. Well Dick give us the numbers will you. Well Bob Captain Tatro has successfully destroyed a platoon of Captain Boro's T34/85's that were reinforcements but has lost a platoon of his own M4A Shermans. Yes Dick I say again the M4's are just no match for T34/85's as we have seen here today as Team USA's tanks get taken out on front armor shots time and time again and as Captain Tatro fires a dozen rounds at T34's and they just bounce of rear armor. Team USA has also pumuled a platoon of AUX Russian Halftracks and MG Squads, also a group of 120mm artillary was located and beat up. That is about it for now. Join us next time when Captain Tatro gives us a picture of the southern decimated armor group.

Gary Tatro -> And here we are with another episode of World Cup War Talk (11/20/2002 10:21:15 AM)
I am your host Bob and with me like ussual is this guy named Dick. Well Dick today we have another double episode of World Cup War talk. We also finally have a snap shot of that southern armor group that was decimated by Team USA. What a picture. Lets count them that is 15 T34 imps, 3 IS-1's, 2 SU-57's, 3 BA-11's and a Tracked FO, wow that is just assume. Yes Bob that is a sight to behold. Now look in the lower right hand corner and we can see a little bit of the mini map. All thows white units are Team USA and we can see how they have Team Russia boxed into the North Western courner pretty tight. Well what has been going on the last two turns. Dick boxed is right, Captain Tatro has brought his suppior numbers to bear over the last two rounds using sometimes up to two platoons of Rangers to take out just one T34/85. But he has had them availible so he might as well use them. If you got it, flant it. Thats what I say. Well Dick that is true and Captain Tatro has used them as he has over the last two turns pushed Captain Boro farther and farther back into that corner and in the process taking out 5 more T3/85's and a platoon of halftracks. Yes Bob but not without losses of his own. Captain Tatro lost another three M4's in the process. Well that is all the time we have for today. I hope you folks enjoy the pic. See you next time on World Cup War talk. This is Dick Mansely sighning off.

Rick Borovec -> Oops ! (11/24/2002 11:53:43 PM)
Well sports fans, Gary forces have all but wiped the Russians off the map. But wait, whats that, the Americans left their rear area completely unguarded and Russian Partisans have taken the majority of the the American Victory Hexes!! Unbeliveable! Certainly this will be too little too late, but it is hard to believe that after the history lesson Garys forces gave the Russians that he didn't proctect his own rear. Fortunately for Gary the game has 23 turns left for him to bring forces back to recapture his VH's. Other than this one glitch, Garys forces have as I have said, wiped the Russians completely out or will have by the end of his next turn. Worse defeat that I have ever suffered. Congratulations to Garys on moving on to round 3, Good Luck!:)
