With the kick of last night with an average of two to three battles a player, the night went of with only some minor setbacks such as Karls Churchill's getting bombed in route the the start point. Later they made an account for themselves against Ron's Sherman's and Teds Panthes. David's M18's had a good start with Teds Panther's only to have John's Sherman's and Chris' FFH Company Kicking the be-Jesus out of them. Chris FFH started going toe-to-toe with Johns Sherman's only narrowly losing, then leveling the rest laid before him. John has set himself as the player to beat and the First player at Tier 2 Aces level in Just Two Games,

Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans, love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers ... Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser.

Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in Hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans. Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The Bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post, don't know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating. Now we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. You know ... My God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. My God, I do.

We're not just going to shoot the bastards, we're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel. Now some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you'll all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood, shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo, that a moment before was your best friends face, you'll know what to do. Now there's another thing I want you to remember.

I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything, we'll let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly, and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose, and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose. Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home, and you may thank God for it.

Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, What did you do in the great World War Two? You won't have to say, Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana. Alright now, you sons of bitches, you know how I feel. I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle anytime, anywhere. That's all.

Picked up the book, So here is the long and short of it,

You must choose any Late War Tank Company (including those dirty Russians!) no mechanized company or infantry ect. one exception is the tank destroyer company found in Blood Guts & Glory. When building this company you do not have to purchase any compulsory platoons treat all black boxed platoons as grey. one platoon must come from any of the following areas HQ, Combat or weapons. Once you have selected a company you cannot change it, you can change the composition though.

First Round 500pts
Can only choose platoons from HQ, Combat or Weapons. 

Second & Third round 700pts & 900pts
Can only choose platoons from HQ, Combat, Weapons or Support.

For the First & Second Rounds of this campaign all Tank Teams count as Warrior Teams and operate as independent teams and can join other teams just like any other warrior team, here is the kicker TANK TEAMS ONLY so if the platoon has an infantry element or unarmoured vehicle there are removed from the field before the start of the game. There are also NO MORAL CHECKS. and Finally any Tank from your HQ or Combat platoon can be your Tank Ace. the Tank Ace can change game to game.

For the Third round, and the final battle its Flames as usual bar, any Tank from your HQ or Combat platoon can be your Tank Ace. the Tank Ace can change game to game any HQ tanks become normal tanks and your Tank Aces gets all the command Abilitys.

There are other things during the round but you will find out wen it happens, if you need more info to pick your force or are unsure of anything i mentioned in this let me know and ill try and get you clarification.

“Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he s not he s a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.


Some men get over their fright in a minute under fire. For some it takes an hour. For some it takes days. But a real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor his sense of duty to his country and his innate manhood. 


Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best and it removes all that is base.”
