stevemk1a -> Tanker blues ... (4/18/2003 10:25:26 AM)

A dark green Sherman grinds it's way forwards carefully through the icy forest and finally comes to a halt beside an immobilized Churchill tank, the tall Sherman contrasting strikingly with the low and squat homliness of the heavier Churchill. "Shall we hook up a tow-chain, old chap?" enquires the commander of the Sherman helpfully. The Churchill commander grimaces as he looks up from the engine bay of his stricken vehicle: "Take more than a tow to help us, we're buggered ! ... if you're headed forwards, be careful with those Red heavies the Finns have, you can't kill 'em from the front, or the side, or the back, no matter how close you get - just keep bouncin' rounds off em 'till they run!" Close to the end now ... It's really too close to call, but I feel I've taken more losses (I always do, I just can't be careful ... :( ) and I probably called for more reinforcements (?) but I have more vh's... unfortunately I've been stopped in my tracks from claiming the last of the middle vh areas ... however this one goes, it's been a close and well fought struggle ...
