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.

Randall cracked!

Load him with barbiturates and send him home!

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.

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.

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.
