The game is far from over (turn wise) but Tomcat has conceded defeat in both games (verbally). We'll play them out, and this weekend i'll start putting together videos from both games, but this is what I will say:
In the CMBO game, my Panzergrenadiers and the one 88 ATG on my left flank have single handedly crippled his tank force. The last i checked, the ATG had killed 2 Shermans, 1 Greyhound, and 3 Infantry. My infantry (collectively) have killed or disabled 1 Greyhound, 2 Jumbo Shermans, and at least one other tank I think. My losses have been minimal, losing a Tiger to a lucky shot from a Tank Killer (not sure what sort of tank). I still have 2 Tigers, a Jagdtiger (ftw) and a Stug, vs. the 3 tanks he has left that are capable of killing a Tiger. Things are in my favor, esp. with all my tank-killing infantry.
In CMBB, by all accounts he only has 3 tanks capable of killing my Tigers, and one of those has a damaged gun. I've only lost a halftrack or two and have more tank-killing infantry in the woods. I have yet to see the latest turn video since my 'net at home is down, but I will work on putting together (painstakingly) some videos of the actions.

Yes My grand Armies have been conqueored
Allow me to fill in some gaps for you with some AAR and some current information for you (lets just say that you have good recon
)
CMBB- Tanks
2 - KV85's Operational
3- JSI's 1 Operational
1 Immobalised (that happened from the start
)
1 Main gun damaged (ready for the scrap heap, lucky shot from the tiger)
2 - Shermans both immobalised (not sure how, I don't hink from enemy fire
)
2 - JSU 152's 1 Operational
1 Immoabilsed
3 T34/Early Operational (not much good against tigers)
Basically None of my operational tanks are in a position to tend to the 2 advancing tigers on my right flank except 1 JSI(WIth the damaged gun from one of the tigers) and a JSU 152 and 1 T34 (not enough to cover the area they are currentyl holding. My KV 85's are in a good defensive position except when the right flank falls(which it will) then they will be flanked.
OK now CMBO (the one I still have a little hope for)
4 M4 Shermans - Destoryed\Abondoned
2 Jumbo's - 1 operational(on the far right flank not any good to me at the moment)
1 - knocked out
3 Greyhounds - Operational(doing very well I might add but cant hold against a tiger)
1 M36 Jackons -Operational (thats the one that the destoryed your tiger)
1 M26 Pershing -Operational
2 M10 Wolverine's -Operational
and still plenty of infantry units with anti armour capabilities.
oh and musso the whispers from the front about the Russians retreat are true but the Americans are holding firm all the way, still ready to take on the German forces moving up, my American forces have been mauled but are in no way ready to admit defeatm that battle will go on
