The soldier looks like he has been a very naughty boy and told to sit on the naughty step... Nice to be able to sit on a Tiger, at Bovie you would be walked off site if you were caught doing that as a normal punter...

You can start to see the FOW and the fear of the unknown working it's dark arts on Baneman....

Latest turn from Bil you have to admire his timing and sense for when to pull back. He will have upset Baneman and slowed him down just with the loss of that 1/2 track. Superb job. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Baneman to work out the houses on his left flank are empty. I guess he will be fearing ambush and will take some time to exploit that flank....

Let's hope the bogging monster deal's his evils equally to Bil and Baneman. C3K I think you have broadly described the flow of the game to come.... Womble I think for us it will be a lesson on how to use Jeeps for recon, but if Baneman can deprive Bil of his Jeeps he has a slight chance.... BTW i see the Bog monster has struck....

Hi Bil out of interest what would you have fielded as the Germans? What is your force to defeat what you have?

Yet... Like many others here I don't think Bil will have too much trouble winning this, I just hope there is some decent action rather than a bogged break down....

Hi, in response i lurk and watch these games but rarely offer advice as I don't want to skew the game as I read both threads and I try to stay neutral. If however you suggest approaches and ask God comments then you might find people will offer advice.So if you Said I am thinking of X or Y... That might gather advice...

Cheers Jon I wanted to spend some money for Christmas, so hope it is sorted soon...

OK so I was hoping to get this before Christmas, what are my chances?

Re AT guns i guess it all depends on how easily vehicles bog, but I guess worse case you end up stuck where as AT gun is unlikely to be able to redeploy,.. Looking Forward to seeing how snow effects mobility.

Just stumbled onto this new forum, what a great map..... Good hunting Bil.... (Lurk mode engaged....)

Thanks for the continued AAR, lurking in back watching this....

Because it is very very good.

+1 Fulda Gap and Early War WW2 France

I am hoping BFS will know root cause and undertake an impact analysis on affected campaigns, that or we have to flag suspected broken ones. I have flagged another campaign broken but no report on it being fixed? As I am travelling I am hoping it will be fixed soon.

BFS should know what root cause was, nothing been noted so who knows if it affected stand alone scenarios?

No, I am away from PC at moment doing some travelling and using a nexus to post. I only bumped this thread to try and prove my point that it was not just one campaign afflicted by the bug. I had assumed that the BFS squad would work out root cause and then do impact assessment on all campaigns? That could of course be what they are doing? When I get back, and if nothing has been updated I will pursue further.... But as I am not playing at moment I am not too bothered, and even when I do get back plenty of other scenarios to keep me occupied....

Excellent news, I hope the pack does well and you get rewarded for your efforts, this will add weight to me to buy vehicle pack. Thanks for the heads up....

I have bumped my thread re campaign issues, I would hazzard a guess that whatever was underlying issue needs to be back tracked to other campaigns, missing 6pdrs in Scottish corridor were also noted in some other threads?

Bumped to show it was not just one campaign nerfed by the bug... Has this campaign been fixed?

Mr picky here.... I think more than one campaign, but I agree with your general sentiment. I am still travelling so until I get back I will not be able to dig out specifics re the campaigns. I am hoping they know root cause and then from that they will fix all campaigns.

Thxs for the link, does explain / offers a reason why the war has stayed cool so far during summer, a decent attempt at explaining what Russia's long game is.

You would be very welcome, we are not too far from Oxford and always good to talk about CM. Well I think so even if my better half thinks I am a bit boring... (OT Just working out sites to visit, I think I will start with ironworks as that seems easy walk. So many great places to see in a short time...)

Thanks for the reports Doug, and yes some luck but also you made the right calls with positions of the Panthers, you recognised the threat and moved in time to counter what Bil was attempting. The M10 duel was a 50/50 die roll I guess? You are right it was all about the tanks and without that edge your infantry would have had a tough time, saw one of your HMG teams on your right got mortared to death, Bil certainly had the edge with those. BTW, I just got back from meeting Bil FtF and brought him a consolation drink as I happen to be in Richmond this weekend and he kindly agreed to meet me. We had a good chat about the game and it was really nice to thank him in person for all the previous AARs he has done for this great community of players. Thank you to both of you for the entertainment. Cheers H

I would say the game is nearly done? Well played. I think it was a tough map and with the well placed Panther's Bil had a couple of chances but they did not pay off for him. The duel with the M10 and Panther if it had gone the other way would have changed the game. (Statement of the obvious). You roll the dice and sometimes lady luck does not shine on you.
