Hello all, Just finished a brutal fight with Warhorse. His Bulgarians advancing on my Greeks in 1941. I beat him, but it was ugly. He lost 1339 men, 12, artillery, 45 soft vehicles and 34 AFVs. I lost 1056 men, 4 soft vehicles, and 25 AFVs. In the beginning it was all Warhorse. My ADGZ armored cars were shot magnets for his tanks, and without any AT capability to speak of, he quickly rolled deep into my lines, especially in the south. Luckily my stalwart MG crews cut down many of the supporting cavalry, and in the north my 81mm mortars devestated his armor, killing 9 tanks. I counterattacked with motorcyclists and cavalry, and the chase was on. In fierce fighting, I overran nearly all the infantry, and then raced east to destroy his artillery and his fleeing trucks. Unfortunately, I had no way to deal with the tanks left running around, save for suicidal Chicom wave tactics that cost me about 12-15 men per tank killed. My ADGZ crews were only safe against trucks. They could kill the CV 33's and Vickers tanks, but the Lt 35's were a menace. I failed to move my 65mm IGs up until too late, so he was able to cruise around in the rear and capture objectives. I'll take any challenger now. I am using slots 3,4,and 6, and I have nonstandard Czech and Bulgarian OOB's. I prefer small battles, because my hotmail account has a low size limit. Seth
