yes great job on that thing guys. I know how much work you put into it. I still cant believe how badly the Germans lost. I guess they spent way too much manpower shooting on the beach all day

The only time I was on the beach was at the start of the game to get some footage otherwise me and my crew spent most of our time around the Pentagon trying to take it from the Allies but with no avail because well we were practically the only ones out there on the German side.

I guess i will post this here. My battle report for ION 2014. 1 SS PANZER KORPS EXPEDITONARY/ALLIED assault on Normandie. I was there with Matt and JAKE. Matt went off to fight with another Allied unit. So it was me and Jake . We were orderd to fight and knock out as many allied tanks that we encounterd. We never got off the landing crafts, we missed the boat as they say. We got on to the beach, well after it hade fallen. The time was about 1405 hrs. We Joined up with allied personel and skirmished about 200 hundred yard down the woods. Here we encounted very heavy resistance. At about 1500 hrs, we were pushed back all the way to the treeline were the beach starts. There we had to surrender, for the Germans had us surrounded. We went back to our base to pick up our AT guns. We depoloyed on the far side of the beaches. behind the larger mounds of dirt waiting for the allied tanks to join the party. Sure enough we spot the predator tank making a beeline towards our postions. I get behind a bunker and lobed about 15 rockEts!!!!!!! Not one hit. I got hit it in the grape. Finally jake ran up to my position and knocked him out. (with assist). On our second mission we were instructed by Adam to ask General Godfather for missions. We were instructed to stay at the beach and knock out any tanks that we saw. We waited for about thirty minutes, but no enemy tanks appeard. We were then given a second mission to run in to the hood and knock out the bandersnatch tank that was attempting to dislodge allied forces from the hood. Again i got to within one hundred feet of this tank. There was to many german infantry protecting the tanks flanks. So i decided to shoot some long distance shots. I tried arcing them, but only had near misses. Me and Jake then ran in to the HOOD. We got in to some prtoection of the buildisngs. Jake launched two rockets, but they missed. At this time we left the area for we had no more rockest. By thie time we had shot/lost aboyt 30 rockets. We saw Max rumbling by leaving the hood. He informed us that french forced had knocked him out. He instructed us to kill any french AT crews we encounterd. The time was about 1745 hrs. We went had a quick bit t eat and again re-stocked with about twenty rockets. We stayed in the beach are for our last few hours. We did see Cromags tank in the woods behind the beach. We went foreward to engage hime. But before we could engage , he was knocked out. We prompptly left at 1900 hrs. We also assisted Adam with his tank on the beach repelling german attacks, thats were theis happened lol. View My VideoSo our tally was Jake -one tank destroyed Isaac- two tanks knock out with assist.

12SS Panzer Korps. Mission report for ION 2014 German Incompetence Liberation Movement.
At 1400hrs our tank "Kugel Brecher" rolled onto the field with Adam Deckman and the 1SS. Upon deploying we were able to get past the beach and begin assault from behind the tree line. We were engaged by RTM tank as well as Predator tank and Predator AT. We successfully disabled the RTM tank and were able to fire three rounds before being knocked out from three directions. Our AT was deployed upon our first hit but was unable to score a hit on enemy armor.
1430-1730hrs Upon our 2nd deployment we went to Hood and provided a substantial amount of anti infantry fire. We also disabled and allied tank which was later destroyed by ground AT. After eliminating several parties were tasked a mission to attempt to provide support at Pentagon and surrounding mission objectives. We crossed the streambed and were able to make it to Tuliere gardens where shortly afterward we provided support for the obtaining of a mission prop. We remained at the location until the prop was secured. At this time we were weary of French in the area and ensured they stayed away from the prop. We were informed my allied command at this point that French were friendly. After securing the points we relocated to the Hood. Upon relocation to the hood we recognized a mixed presence of French and allied. Unfortunately we were sabotaged by a two point blank shots placed by rogue French AT. The French AT was killed by an allied commander but not until after we had already been destroyed. Upon leaving the field I informed Deckman, Issac and Allied Command of the AT.
Upon our third insertion we provided anti infantry support. We did successfully disable and get two direct hits on RTM tank (if I recall correctly I believe it was them) and although both hits were solid the ref didn't see the second hit and refused to call the tank out, even though our refs saw the second hit. Shortly afterward due to high concentration of AT on the beach we were eliminated along with other allied tanks almost immediately after scoring the hits.
1830hrs fourth insertion we saw German predator tank parked on the insertion lines waiting for a tank on tank battle. Immediately I deployed or AT ,Evans, who deployed along the tree line. We then rolled full speed toward predator, our ground AT ,Evans, got the first disabling shot on predator and as we deployed we fired the main gun and destroyed predator. Predator did manage to get a disable shot off and we were eliminated shortly afterward by AT. We have this deployment on video.
1845hrs our last deployment we made a mad dash for the tree line, disabling multiple infantry u its on the beach and caused the German lines to retreat but shortly afterward were disabled and destroyed by RTM tank and Ground AT.
At one point myself and my team did run infantry and helped recapture and hold the Hood. This was around 1900hrs. I also ran AT and got one disable on RTM.
Overall:
One official tank kill One unofficial tank kill (ref never called) 3 tank disables 20 plus infantry kills. Capture of points at Tuilere garden.
