Pictures in
this sequence taken from WiId Bill's excellent Saving Private Ryan
inspired "Ramelle" scenario.
This first
picture sees the little town of Ramelle embroiled in a desperate fight.
In the left side of the frame you can just make out the exhaust smoke
of four incoming rockets. Note the planes shadow just adjacent to
the Sd Kfz 7/1 Flak vehicle. For that matter check out the Sd Kfz!!!
Yup, another CMHQ exclusive! You didn't think those pesky
fighter-bombers wouldn't have to worry about SPAAA (Self Propelled
Anti-Air Artillery) did you?!?
Just above the
occupied building three of four rockets can be seen screaming in.
Again you can just make out the planes shadow as it races across the
terrain. The plane has decided to go with rockets instead of
strafing due to the confined quarters of the town.
IMPACT!!!
The expanding blast cones of four separate rocket hits can be made out
in this shot!
Another view of
the rockets as they hit home. One interesting point, both
the Tiger and the Flak-Truck had already been abandoned prior to
this attack run! The fighter-bomber didn't care, it saw
armored vehicles and attacked!
Yet
another shot of as the last rocket hits home. The ability to take
pictures at such precise moments is greatly aided by the new 'single
step' VCR functions mentioned in today's Did
You Know feature.
A view of the
attack above from a different part of town. You can just see the
explosions between the buildings. Now this Tiger IS
occupied and doesn't appreciate being disturbed by an aerial attack.
More from this guy in the next installment!
