Bonjour mon amis. Thanks for trying and some feedback. 

Yes that single 88mm is more of a "flavor" unit. Left behind after long retreat from France and getting stuck for lack of fuel (and ammo). Ammo dump... you mean the crate flavor objects?

SPOILER.......

The 88 crew makes for a nice "extra" squad of LowQ infantry when bailed.  Consider these as stragglers to be put into the line by local commander as emergency measure.

Did you try the associated mod pack btw?

Think hardly a handfull of players ever tried this mission or did a second playthrough attempt. The mission quite clearly is of the "puzzle" type with the single AI plan beeing quite complex and worked out thoroughly. From multiple playthroughs I know one can pull off at least a tactical german victory quite frequently. But.... without telling too much, it requires an "active" german defense early on (the means are there!). This to gain time for the later counter attack which got to be executed in no hesitant ways either.

Edit: V4 introduced (or made it more serious) the mortar penetrate pillbox bug. You´d like noticed it? With the AIP´s obsession of engaging pillboxes with everything at hand, this mission became almost unplayable.
