If you want Dandelion I'll mail you the set up, map etc. I don't want to post to many details here as I know he reads the board, and he might figure out whom I'm plotting against.

Ok, question for Dandelion...I'm assuming I've got the lower firepower, I'm 99% sure that I do. The map is kind of rolling hills with a fair amount of trees. There are like 9 flags along my side, I decided to "guard" a set of about 5 clustered together. Those flags are basically in a valley, small about 400m around, I set up on the ridges last night, as it covers the incoming roads and I've got sight path for about 500-800m in most directions. I set up interlocking fields of fire, MG42's at a 200m arc, AT stuff at 400m and my inf at about 100m in all directions. According to your post I'm better off setting up in a valley? Let them crest over the hill and and then hit them? I'm working on setting up the mines, and wire etc tonight. I was thinking of making points to force them into without making it look like I'm forcing them...kinda jedi mind trick. Also one thing that I'm not finding a ton of info on is the whole "hull down" thing...How does this work? The manual isn't really clear, and I have a feeling I'm losing tanks when I shouldn't be.

Keep the comments rolling in guys! I'm compiling all the best stuff together, for posting with my AAR.

I've got an upcoming high point game starting tonight, and I'd rather not get worked yet again by my opponent. It's a random map battle, set in a village, and I've got roughly 1400 points to spend on fortifications. It just seems that I never set them up right. I'm looking for tips on using fortifications. Right now I'm thinking about a lot of barbwire, with my inf in ambush spots hidden just in range of the wire. AT behind that to protect them. I expect my opponent to roll on me with a ton of inf and some tanks. I was planning on using all my armor points on AT, and much of my support on AT. Inf regulars to defend the wire... Are mines worth it? trenches? (I always seem to get my trenches overrun then used against me) Pill boxes always seem to become such a target, and I can never protect them from armor...suggestions?
