Anticipating the Shermie
« on: August 10, 2004, 12:54:34 AM »
Ok ... I know ... this is Aces High ... not Aces Low ....

BUT!

I'm suspecting our new tank will be a variant of the Sherman.

And you know what that means ..... right?

It's the first opportunity in AH to setup something like ....

The Battle of the Bulge.

Picture it. Patton's 3rd on an all out, full-tilt charge flanking the cream of the German armored forces. Through slush and mud and blood and guts.

I know what you're thinking. The Allied guys would have to be outright masochists. That or .... have virtual balls the size of cantalopes for bravely attacking the enemy from the vantagepoint of a "Ronson." I'm for motivating the latter. So in anticipation of such a setup in the forseeble future I've developed what I intend to be the theme for the page:

C'mon TE! Someone whip up a snowy, muddy, tree-lined European hellhole for this!
