Not quite how it works. There is no guarantee you will be casted if you submit. I go through a lot of replays on a daily basis.

Onwards we go :

Freshly Assembled the Panzer Division von Strachwitz is tasked with seizing a village held by elements of the 210th Rifle Corps.

On one of your recent videos you critisized the addition of Panzergrau (Dunkelgrau). Even though it doesn't fit the time frame and it's a little blue-ish, I think it looks quite good. Personally I think it should have been Wehrmacht's default skin, since their vehicles seem to be in desert paint for some reason (and OKW's in Dunkelgelb).

Well it's not a huge critique. Just a comment on it mostly. I don't deny it looks good. Just pointing out that for the period it would have been rather out of place with a few exceptions :)


Anyways. The Episode of the day !

A swift push by the 1st Armoured Division as it makes its way towards Germany is suddenly in danger as the 17th SS Launches a counter-attack

Somewhere in the Baltics a German Sperrverbande prepares to hold back the soviet onslaught as the 7th Tank Corps prepares for a fresh attack.

As the fight for the Alsace Region Intensifies the 106th Panzer Brigade musters it's men for a counter-attack to blunt the advance of the 3rd Armoured Division by a small railhead.

The soviet lines are getting ever tighter. In an attempt to reverse this the 5th SS is ordered forwards to push back the Soviets and buy time for the rest of the German army

As the Hungarian front falls apart the 7th Mechanized Corps is rushed forward to push back the Fascists as far as possible. Only the Feldhernhalle Panzergrenadier Division has a chance of stopping them.

I forget which video it was, but in one of them you mentioned that American Tank Destroyers all had open top turrets and reasoned it was probably to reduce weight, which is true, but not the only reason.

The other reasons are that open-top turrets gave the crew unrivaled visibility, which was considered very important for a glass cannon that was expected to find and destroy enemy tanks before they could see you. It also made escaping easier if the vehicle was hit, as they were thinly armoured. The open-top did expose the crew to Infantry and Artillery, but they were supported by Infantry or Tanks, so the benefits were considered to outweigh the risks.

Neither of these apply in CoH2 logic, unfortunately. It'd be neat if M10 and M36 had extended sight, or passive vehicle detection around themselves.

Fair enough. Thanks for that explanation :)

Otherwise got two videos today. A regular episode and a video quickly covering the announcement of the brits.

"
Major Dietrich looked at the map, trying to figure out exactly WHERE the enemy was. Orders were to move ahead and break a soviet armoured spearhead threatening the division"

The sound of explosions and gunfire informed him.

Across the frozen fields Troops assemble beneath a moonlight night. Both sides hoping to crush the other side in an ambush. The 3rd SS vs the 56th Guards Mechanized Brigade.

Who will hold the advantage ?

Major Volkov surveyed the battlefield ahead of him. Fascists from the 4th SS were concealed in the farmland ahead. His job was to root them out and continue the onwards to Berlin !

Hey Dane, will you be doing a video for your thoughts on the July 21st patch?

Also, will you be casting games from the official unofficial patch-mod, or waiting until the patch to launch officially on retail?

Already got a video for that up today.. As for doing games from them.. Depends. if there is anything good i might, otherwise might as well wait.

But the episode of the day first :

Moving pass wreckage from previous assaults the Kampfgruppe Schultz lines up and readies itself.

Holding the Village are the men of the 5th Infantry Division, themselves preparing for a further assault, merely awaiting the arrival of armour to support it.



And the Video on the beta patch :

After a failed assault by the Mechanized Brigade, the Soviet troops finds themselves surrounded by the Grossdeutschland,. Their only hope is to initiate a breakthrough and try to rejoin with friendly lines before they run out of fuel and munitions.

he Artillery barrage had been going on for hours and when it finally died out the men of the 131st Infantrie Division moved out.

But their numbers were diminished after days of fighting, would they have enough to halt the assault ?
