Many many years ago, when a 'd20' was a twenty-sided die marked 0-9 twice with half the numbers painted in to represent the 'teens', I played with one die for about a year before realising it had two '1's and no '11'... 

Ouch ! 

And Happy New Year, Ronan, I hope you're having a great time, and getting some gaming in 

V/R,

Hello

As I already wrote, I don't have much time to play nor to write AARs.. BUT this is the game I had in this solo campaign !  ( very short AAR )
http://2d6.fr/?p=3439

I should call this AAR : "It's a monster !"


Take care guys (and girls) !

That really is a beast.

Not exactly low profile is it?

Formidably formidable! Fab!

Nice stuff, Ronan !
Cheers - Phil

Nice model, Ronan, but, like a lot of these super-weapons, not very reliable.

What is it?

This isn't helping with my Chain of Command temptation  

Interesting game, a bit challenging for the Germans  

It's a KV II Getagrip, Russian HEAVY tank early in the war

Cheers Paul.

I'm new to all the historical stuff

Thank you guys !

No.. I saw it far away.. But could not really fire at it !

It's a russian KV-2. Not reliable as Hertsblue said ( may be that's why my virtual opponent 'only' got one ?) But a very tough beast. And I didn't get the right support ( war is not fair !   )

You could NOT resist, you know it !    
Yes, challenging. I should have withdraw earlier, but I tried to win "by morale"..

GetAGrip, welcome to this era ! lots of fun real stuff ! 

There really is but it's hard to know when to stop.

I think mistakes may be made 

Any shade of KV will ruin your day if you don't have some heavy duty Anti-tank ready. The KV-2 is especially suited to destroying infantry (and buildings...)

... but has a tendency to either break down or fall over on steep terrain!

I think i read somewhere, that the turret was so heavy, that if you drove up a slope/hill with the turret pointing sideways, you would be unable to turn it to the front because of the weight 


Can't find the source right away, but i am 99% i read that somewhere..
