Hermano contra hermano...

The screenshot for the latest battle I am waging against 'The old warhorse', Ernie himself again, has to wait... I screwed it up. We're basically pitting brother vs brother against each other at the Spanish town of Teruel. The year, 1936 and one of the most tragic inter-war events takes place at the Iberian peninsula. There are no fancy steel beasts, but bayonet, grenades and the first petrol bombs against WW1 tankettes of various countries.

Stalemate near Sedan

After 25 turns the result, in a nutshell, is - stalemate. Both sides were pushed to their limits, casualties are exceptionally high because of the stubbornness of the fighting and the outstanding gusto the German and French troops endured all the hardships. Chapeau Ernie! Our next battle will transfer us to the battlefields of Normandy, August 1944.

Fw Barnstorf and his crew

were able to neutralize yet another French tank in the south. Let's hope he and his men will make it through the bitter fighting on the southern banks of the river Meuse.
