What about the tank crew?
They were witnesses.
Guess he'll either buy their silence or better yet make sure, they don't talk

Well they were complicit, so no worries there.


From a realism standpoint; this sort of thing was much more common than is generally acknowledged. I guess it's not the sort of thing that troops want to talk about. And I'm sure it was usually covered up or at least not mentioned/avoided in the paperwork.

Yep damned jerry AT gun was to blame, have to keep moral up & it would be a shame to tarnish such a great days work.

Had slightly diffrent one a while back, enemy tank shot at my halftrack & hit the tank beside it Grrrrrrr. Missing & hitting a better target probably does not happen that often.

Had this happen more than once,
Forgot to unload a squad from a tank and run into hidden infantry which KO's tank and squad.
When will I learn?
Doh.

Here is an odd one just happened in my AI campaign game. (it is an assault) I was trying to move my mouse to the left of the screen to view the area ahead near the edge of the map. I accidently hit my keyboard with the mouse and off went my Sdkfz222 it moved about 10 hexes and ended its move on top of a hvy howitzer in the middle of a group of howitzers. The brits had some AA dug in about 6 hexes away and they unloaded on my 222. They missed me but took out 2 of the dug in howitzers and suppressed a 3rd into retreat. During their turn they finished off the 3rd howitzer. All that and I never fired a shot. Unfortunately my 222 was routed and took off like a scared rabbit. Now I can shoot a hundred rounds at a dug in howitzer and not even rout it but all this was done by 4 40mm bofors or maybe 5 (I wasnt paying much attention as was p'ed about the accidental movement)

Now, who should be awarded the Knight's Cross, the Bofors' gunners, or the "scared rabbit" SdKfz 222?

Yea I guess I could say that the 222's radio antenna got shot off and he just wanted to get back to headquarters to report the location of the AA guns and give a sit rep.

Ditto to Gila. I had a miss on an enemy tank and ended up immobilizing one of my own heavy AFVs. That was a big bummer. If I remember, I didn't ever get the guy and he smoked my units on his next turn.

I know this is a WW2 thread but I just had a Mag'ach (Israeli tank) move to rescue an APC, it was a desperate move. Hit chance 11% versus the threats thought I might get one but was going to use the discharger. 3 shots later 3 burning wrecks then it fired at a near by squad with its MGs killing 3 men. During the enemy turn it then managed to hit a helo that the Hovets failed on despite good hit chances with 4% I think. Dont know what they use for a lucky charm but the gunners got one.
