Swedish Volunteers 2nd Edition - In the original SV-scenarios (Swedish A4-size), the text size and the lay-out of SSR is better with a crispier layout compared to the MMP version. MMP use smaller text size and fed us with absurd cramped-packed SSRs, despite the abundance of place available on almost all the A4 cards (non-Swedish A4-size in AP15). - The Photo quality on the Action Pack scenarios is bad, compared to the original scenario pictures. - Most of my special written SSRs/VCs and Set up/Entry text have been kept in MMP AP version, but the MMP bus drivers stripped away my title: Design Consultant - The English grammar and spelling have been improved upon, but it is only minor text alterations, the original text can still not be misunderstood. - The ASL text sentences have been replaced completely unnecessary in an attempt to create a lingo that should always be written, even if it's bad and unneccessary writing and always will be, ask if you want examples.

OKH have sent a message: The next 7 days (1-7 Nov) they only have 3 Rifle Coy, 3 Sturm Coy and 1 Pionier Coy to send to the front line. Then the Reserve pool is emptied, 4 fresh Pioneer Coy being flown from Germany are on its way, they will reach Stalingrad and the front line between 8-12 November. Try to erase and shrink the Russian stronghold into pockets, and then the Pioneers can finish off the last resistance pockets. Paulus wants his promotion to Field marshal, it depends on you. Then we can concentrate and resume our attack on the Red October district and erase the Martinovski to rubble. God Luck and shake the dice well, only precision dice can do it.

The Germans had predicted the battle to be over by now, and are planning a last ditch effort with their last reserves.

Use precision and concentrate on keeping ROF on your barrels along the streets the Germans will soon try to cross in force.

AFTERMATH (7 Game Turns): The German intention today is made clear as several German elite infantry formations attacked the last Russian controlled factory hall in the area with support of panzers and heavy artillery. 200 fanatic Russian soldiers, mostly Militia, opened fired and desperate protective fire to held off the aggressor, the Germans suffered early losses entering into the factory. A Pz IIIH is knocked out and burst into blaze as a hidden Russian T-70 opens fire, but is quickly eliminated in close combat by stosstruppen. heavy artillery directed by a spotter plane starts to blast the Russian troops both inside and outside the factory and the defenders quickly crumble, and soon the factory fall into full German control, although not without significant losses. The only survivor among the factory defender is a Russian officer that routed out from it the others that also routed out are moved down as they attempt to cross the street of fire, Thereafter, the German continue to push further east of the factory hall towards the wooden buildings area where the Russian scramble a new defense line ,many thanks to the sole survivor from the factory, and tough fighting continue until the battle ends. At the Bread factory area down south, the Germans launch a probing attack but first when the factory have been conquered, and comes to a halt when the Russian reserves are activated. In the Commissar House - Apothecary - Volga sector, the Germans have planned a more defensive mode. The Russian call down a barrage (9 hexes - 360 m) along the German front line and successfully blast several of these defenders into bits, and the Russians are quick to launch an attack after the barrage have been lifted and eliminates the last pockets of defense in the frontline building. The German spotter plane start to call down heavy artillery upon the Commissar House, Apothecary and other buildings, several of them catch fire and at the same time the Russian offb´d Observer call down artillery upon the Germans. Towards the end of the battle, several single hex buildings around the Commissar House is taken control by the Russians, due to the many machine guns raking the German defense line that are also hammered by the artillery.

Wunderwaffe PaK41 75LL, den uppskalade grövre kaliber version av dess två föregångare AT 28 LL & AT 40LL. Drygt 100 tillverkades med kill förmåga på TK#24 bättre än FlaK 88L eller Tiger I, dessa har ingen HE. Tillverkat ett dussin till mig och andra (använt mig av surplus PaK 40). Bilden visar även de få som delades ut av Rönnblom när det begav sig.

Despite the initial success with the artillery, it is denied Battery Access several times (Black, Red, Red, Red, Black, Black, Red) and its last fire mission strikes friendly troops and eliminates two Russian squads (scatters from pre-reg hex in wrong direction 3 hexes). The perimeter of the area is much the same as from the start, due to the Hvy Arty. Along the rest of the perimeter (factory sector to the Volga sector) both sides slug it out and little gains are made, except along the shoreline where the Russians are pushed back 250m, and the German have started to outflank the Commissar House. In the attack against the Red House, another name for it, two times a German squad becomes berserk and charge towards it, almost as if frustrated by the fanatical defenders that easily pumped lead at them, at point-blank range as they bounced against the walls and denied entry into the fortified building.

Du citerar mig slarvigt, jag skrev: "...alla kommer nog spela att LePaK 41 kan skjuta HE, med fullt stöd av reglerna (och historiska fakta). " Dvs, de som blir påvisad vad reglerna hävdar och alla vi som läst den här tråden kommer nog att spela korrekt.

Det räcker med att en person har kännedom på nästkommande sammankomst/turnering och att TD informeras om vad som gäller både regelmässigt och historiskt, för att alla ska spela enligt reglerna. Ha tålamod, kunskapen om att brickan är felaktig kommer spridas mer och mer som ringar i ankdammen.

Din respons var ingen frågeställning, utan ett påstående, som jag finner lite väl ogenomtänkt,

Rapport skrift från 1943, om en captured German L.PaK 41 och dess två typer av ammo, HE & APCR, http://ww1.lonesentry.com/articles/ttt07/ammunition-pak41.html

Rapport skrift från 1943, om en captured German L.PaK 41 och dess två typer av captured Ammo. Brief mention has already been made in Tactical and Technical Trends (No. 7, p. 3) of the German 4.2-cm Pak 41 (42-mm antitank gun). This is a tapered-bore weapon, being 42 mm at the breech and 28 mm at the muzzle. High explosive and armor-piercing ammunition is provided. Both the HE and AP ammunition (see accompanying sketch) are characterized by a relatively large propellant charge and a flaring skirt or fin at the base of the projectile. The brass-coated steel shell case is 400 mm (15.75 inches) in length. The skirt of the projectile, which is squeezed down as the projectile travels through the tapered bore, serves to give a large effective base area at the commencement of shot travel. A high muzzle velocity is thus possible with a relatively light weapon. However, owing to the relatively light weight of the projectile, the velocity tends to fall off rapidly, and maximum armor-piercing performance is achieved at short ranges only. The thickness of armor penetration is considerable in relation to the weight of the gun; the hole made, is, of course, small. Barrel wear is high; just what the life of the barrel may be is not known. However, in the case of a similar German weapon, the 2.8-cm Pak 41 (antitank gun tapering from 28 mm at the chamber to 20 mm at the muzzle) the life of the barrel is thought to be not over 400 rounds. The muzzle velocity of the 42-mm is not known; that of the 28-mm is thought to be 4,700 feet per second. As indicated in the sketch the HE and AP projectiles are similar in shape. They are sometimes referred to as arrowhead ammunition. The perforations or holes (see sketch) are designed to decrease the mass of the skirt or fin as it is squeezed down into the recess in the projectile casing while traveling through the bore. The explosive filling of the HE projectile is blue in color, which suggests Hexagen (trimethylene trinitramine). The nose percussion fuze of the HE shell is aluminum, with the body in two sections. This fuze is of the bore-safe type; before firing, the single coil spring keeps the two half-collars squeezed against the firing pin which is thereby prevented from being depressed; in flight the centrifugal force created by the rotation of the projectile forces the two half-collars apart, and the firing pin is then free to move toward the cap on impact. The stenciled lettering on the shell case (see sketch) has the following significance: First line ............. light antitank gun 41 Second line ............ weight of propellant in grams Remaining lines ........ data on propelling charge The HE shell case contains 310 grams of propellant and is so stenciled.

Båda är även higher numbered än C2.21 (An underscored caliber size means it cannot fire HE ammunition). Hur tänker du? C4.3 .....The German 28LL and 40LL Guns use the APCR Basic TH# Modification even if firing HE... Germ Multi-Applicable Ordnance Notes (for the lePaK 41) A. Due to the design of its armor piercing projectile, this gun uses the APCR To Kill Table and Range modifiers for its To Kill DR vs AFV, unless using HE. In addition, it always uses the Basic TH# Modification (C4.3) for its To Hit DR--even if it fires HE
