    About making battles and OPs for CMBB

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    I don't make battles and OPs, but I was wondering if anyone could put together some battles or OPs, that are based on mainly the Tank battles. They could be something like the ASL, or Stalingrad Pack, I know there were some large Tank Battles on the Eastern front, but I noticed there are many infantry engagements with some armor, at thge "Scenario Depot", there are some battles based on a few of these armor engagements, but not many.It's just a request, but maybe someone has this idea in mind already

    Strange StuG

    Of the short-barreled StuG III Ausf. B, C, D and E, 320, 50, 150 and 272 were made, respectively. The StuG III was the most common Sturmgeschütz design, being little more than a tank with a fixed gun of limited traverse instead of a turret. It was slower and less maneuverable than a tank but was suited particularly well for attacking enemy infantry, heavy weapons and main points of restistance. The vehicle was found to be easier to use from concealed positions because of its lower silhouette. It was less complex, less expensive to build and had almost the same performance as a tank, and for this reason the manufacture of assault guns increased until more were being made than tanks. For the hard-fighting infantry, the Sturmgeschütz were often the last rescue in an emergency while confronting increasing numbers of enemy units.

    got this quote from a panzer site I found,

    'Anti-tank defence will devolve more and more on the assault guns, since all our other anti-tank weapons are becoming increasingly ineffective against the new enemy equipment. All divisions on the main battlefronts, therefore, need to be supplied with a certain complement of these weapons; the secondary fronts will have to make do with a higher command reserve of assault guns. In order to economise on personnel and material, a gradual amalgamation of the assault gun battalions and tank destroyer battalions is necessary.'

    General Heinz Guderian, in his book Panzer Leade
