The Island War: The Rico Reich vs The Republic of Gunn
- Thread starter Rico
- Start date
"Over there, Hans! Looks like our PAK gunners have scored their first hit!"
(Cue triumphant propaganda newsreel marching music!)
(Cue triumphant propaganda newsreel marching music!)
The Gauntlet is flung. The die is cast. The hounds let slip. The Kraaken unleashed. Turn back, @Nathangun, Kampfgruppe von Dachs hurls overripe raspberries at all invaders. :shootero:
Which side would you prefer?

Boo hiss! (Disgruntled locals throw rotten cabbages and tomatoes at newsreel).
Either side is fine, wherever the need is most to support these great causes!
@Badger73 setup done, the file should be 006, thou I saved the file while I was doing my setup yesterday so CM saved it as 007, I renamed it to 006, my CM Helper got confused.
Look forward to see how this battle unfolds -- the fate of the Rico Reich southern flank rests on this ... no pressure General von Dachs @Badger73 :shocknaz:

Got it. No problems.
Yep, all built from scratch using Photoshop -- I borrowed an imported all the tank, troop icons from all over web and used them to build counters ... the towns/villages are "borrowed" from Unity of Command and the woods/forests from somewhere else, don't recall where.
All the more impressive! I find this kinda stuff fascinating and have dabbled a bit myself, so I certainly appreciate how much time and effort goes into all of this.
Looking forward to more!
I was out of pocket yesterday. Rounds away, @Nathangun. File 008 back to you today 26-Oct at 1321 GMT.

Beautiful work on the map. I know it would be a lot of work, but I would love a how-to video showing how it all came together.
Wow that's some fireworks!
A cheer goes up as the Rico Reich Luftwaffe air support arrives!!
(not sure if they are actually hitting anything... but hey, they're not bombing our own lines, so immediate bonus there! )
... as far as I know, there's a pack of Shermans somewhere over there...

A few more snapshots from the central battle defending against the attack by General Bootie ... provided by the photographers of the Rico Reich Ministry of Truth & Information.
Earlier on, a Gunn Army light tank scouting along the flank gets hit by alert Pak crews...
A view of one of the bunker and trench lines awaiting the enemy onslaught...
For a short while before the air strikes went in, the dust and smoke lifted for a few moments ... "FEINDPANZER!!" ... that's either very scary, or a target rich environment...
View from an advanced OP... artillery Sperrfeuer from supporting Artillerie Abteilung 1 dropping on advancing enemy infantry!
We catch a glimpse of enemy troops withdrawing ... tactical retreat, or has the fight gone out of the attackers? Too early to tell.
How do the field units of the Rico Reich Ministry of Truth and Information get all these great quality snapshots far across the battlefield? I'm glad you asked...

Hi, do you search for players ? I'm available and motivated for a campaign (if it's not too complicated to understand all the rules etc).
- Read the rules attached to post #26 of this thread.
- Post your interest as @Gunner and @MeatEtr did back in December.
- Report to Republic or Reich recruiting depots as solicited below.
The Republic of Gunn is looking for commanders for the fight for freedom to all peace loving men.
At least two commanders.
