    Spoiler for future players !!

    In mission 5 (trainstation) you get a battery of 105 mm howitzers ! it is not in the mission briefing. Faas was able to get comms to a artillery observer who called in the howitzers on top of the german defense position !

    Now I can't remember if I noticed or not!!

    Just a few things:

    Did you need more time in mission 9 ?

    Did you notice the "pendulum of battle" reinforcement in mission 5 (defend the two panthers at the train station) ?

    LF.

    Hmmm, no I think the time limit is what really made that one so intense and nail biting.  I remember looking at the briefing with about 10-15 minutes left and realized I had to either take those two last zones to get enough for the total victory or at least get troops into them and deny the points to the enemy.  I really didn't think I was going to have enough with like 2-3 minutes remaining.  I would leave it the way it is!  I think it was spot on.  It was a huge sigh of relief and feeling of accomplishment to get that one.

    I did.  Are you talking about the troops that come in at the far end of the map?  I had them set up on the ridge there along the tree line but then artillery came in and hit them really hard.  That was another nail biter battle and I really didn't think I was going to be able to hold on.  You do remember 11th Kompanie only had about 30-40 men left after that one.  It was so intense with the fighting going on in the woods in the dark.
