Thank you for your reply Jason. I must apologise here for my maps not showing up online. I tried to use the image command but it seems it didn't work for me. I'll try it another way. The url for map 1 http://image56.webshots.com/56/4/41/53/537744153ZergXV_ph.jpg Map 2: http://image64.webshots.com/164/4/82/92/537748292IKEEZq_ph.jpg You might have to copy and paste these into your browser. Your descriptions are confusing, frequently speaking as though you are playing as the Germans rather than as the Russians, yet ending by asking what the Russians should do. You're right, I enjoy playing as the Germans. However what intrigues me about this scenario is the enormous Russian superiority in numbers. What I was asking was, what happens when I try it the other way about, playing as the Russians. I see you answered that question very well. Playing as the Russians, I have tried a left hook myself but I can't seem to co-ordinate things properly between the Armour and the Infantry, so I usually end up in a mess.

I am a new player of this game. My question concerns the Jagermeister Battle as played by the Allies. I have no problem playing as the Axis against the AI. I set up the German defenses as per this screenshot Now the Russians let loose a tremendous rocket barrage, but it falls well to the rear of my troops. I suppose any local farmer with a rabbit warren problem would be most grateful for their efforts. Ivan shows up around turn 6 or 7. In the initial exchange of fire, his Infantry catch hell from the MG42 posts and the Panther's MGs. It happens now and then that the Russians kill one of my Panthers. Map 2 So far so good. OK this time they knoocked out three of my Panthers and severely damaged the fourth but not without suffering crippling losses. My Tigers had arrived by then anyway. By turn 22 (sometimes when I play this one I can do it by turn 20) I can advance and take the ridge to the North east of the woods. At this stage or shortly thereafter, the Russians surrender. Now for some questions. Firstly, are my tactics correct? I am using a variation of the Imfantry Minor Tactics I was taught years ago as a member of the Australian Army Reserves. Secondly, I have tried over and over again to succeed with the Russians but with no success at all. The best I have been able to achieve so far is a minor defeat. It doesn't seem to matter how I manoever the Russian tanks, the Germans just shoot them to pieces. Therefore thirdly, what in hell am I doing wrong? Pilsener
