    Life's just like a box of Peng Challenges

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    I am back!

    Yes, I will admit a sound thrashing by Mr. Spkr the abreviator. It certainly was a strong showcasing of his mighty skills. 3 virtually impenatrable matilda's vs my vast forces of Italian model cars fitted with BB guns. Yes no doubt that given similar forces he could certainly crush any of the dregs in the Cesspool.

    Sadly, I fear that only I, the innocent newbie, would fall victim to such a devious trap.

    However, Mr. Spkr has graciously honored my request for yet another game. This time he has given me a virtually indestructable force of plastic firetrucks and ambulances vs. a full size H2 Hummer. I feel much more evenly matched...

    Well it appears in this land of little boys and little girls of all shapes and sizes, one rises above the rest. Not much mind you, but enough to see over the severely sloped brows of all the other ingrates in here.

    I hereby accept the challenge of Mr. Spkr to play Desert Redux. No doubt there is some half-witted plan afoot in his mind, but I will take my lumps on my way to the top of this retched backwater dump.

    Frequently-Asked Questions - Combat Mission - Barbarossa to Berlin

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    This is basically an excerpt from a discussion way back when regarding a AAR of Jagermeister, the advanced scenario's battle.

    Fixes for the Advanced tutorial in the manual.

    Scenario - Jagermeister as the Russians

    Task Force B is supposed to head all the way to the far left hill. Your tanks can, indeed, reach that by turn 10 with fast move. They may not look like it when they are crawling through those trees, but they can. Oddly enough, I would probably have sent my infantry on foot. They would get there a LOT sooner (I think) and could make sure all is clear for your IS-2s.

    As for the tank riding infantry, I sent 3 squads and the HQ. I left the other squad with the Coy CO. (4 squads and a leader would require 5 tanks while the tutorial only allows 4)

    Regarding TF A, that is easy... but if I play it again I would not put all my forces right there at the scattered woods & hut. I'd spread them out some along the back of the ridge all the way between the left side of the road & the hut. With the new supression model, if all your troops crest and descend in the same place then fire on one squad in the midst will affect everyone around too.

    There you need to make sure your SUs have local superiority so that your troops can advance over the crest without being slaughtered. TF B should hopefully be in position to attract the Panthers' attention. Also, the 6 or so remaining IS-2s I had were doing shoot & scoot or seek hulldown to the Tigers to take them out. That actually worked quite well, but I think I was lucky.
