Okay, M4 Shermans weren't the greatest tank of WW2!...
But when they do great deeds in a 30 (fixed) turn 2000-pt. QB/ME, they deserve some accolades!
Lt Springer's and Sgt Darland's were 2 of 4 surviving Shermans out of a platoon of 5 (a pretty good survival rate).
Here is an end-game photo of the pair, with 2 smoking Marders in the distance. Each of these 2 Shermans had a respectable kill count!
(Not to mention, all 8 enemy Marders in the fight were KOed, and 1 by even a 60mm mortar crew.)
