Thank you JasonC, that was just what i wanted to hear. And now, please, get back on topic.

Yea, it was in the end of continuationwar. (One veteran told me they got the fausts/shrecks too late, he also told me that some soldiers we're little scared to use those, instructions were only in german and they had never used those before etc. Some harrasing fire from other units(MG, ATgun/ATrifle etc.) while THT is flanking the tank, that works out quite well, at least when THT has some cover to get molotov/grenbundle ready. BTW, i got some extremely good results in tank fight yesterday, QB(700ptsME), small map, foggy, me playing germans against soviets. Rus had something like ten tanks.(two KVs, at least four T-34s and those BT?? fast tanks)And i had only three STUG IIIs.(can't remember the exact model, that one with quite thick armor and machinegun) By keyholing, using shoot and scoot & waiting for opponents mistakes, i was able to KO all aprox. ten tanks in less than 15 minutes. And one of my Stugs didn't fire a single shot. I think i was kinda lucky, cos i'm quite newbie about tank tactics. But that fight turned out wery good.

Jääkäri. Umlaut with all A's is correct. yep, they just have too little armor and crappy guns for larger tanks. Works well against infantry and wooden bunkers though. Only bad thing is that fins do not get panzerschrecks in 1941 - 1943. I cna't remember exactly when they get schrecks but it was at the end of war. Grenade bundles and molotovs have worjed nicely this far, in that specific scenario i had bad luck with those tanks, they were on a hill in a very open area. Good that i have the game saved, i think i'll try to use some other units to atract the tanks and then sneak to their flank with couple tank hunter teams. Yea, AT guns work but in that scenario i don't have any. It's meeting engagement and i let the game do buying of my units. Captured T-34s are good, but rare and cost alot. I'll stick with the ATguns and tank hunters.

I need some advice here. Yesterday i made QB, fin - soviet meeting, winter 1943, 1500pts, armor both sides, Soviet 125% troops. I had one platoon t-70s clearing a hill, on the opposite hill was one KV and one T-34. As we all know 45mm gun isn't too shabby against KVs and T-34s. My mistake was that my tanks we're front of russian tanks and they we're on a hill, as soon as KV & T-34 saw my tank platoon, i commanded them to reverse back behind some trees for cover. They didn't make it, KV was abandoned after an while, it knocked out one of my tanks, T-34 took out the rest in less than two minutes. I didn't have the time to try flanking them and my other troops we're too far away. How should i use finnish armor against russian armor? Or should i just try to supress and button them with tanks and use tank hunters? It seems almost impossible to destroy KV/T-34 with 45mm guns. Thanks already. (EDIT: i didn't buy units by my self, made it quick that time) [ December 04, 2006, 12:46 AM: Message edited by: Noitavasara ]

I think this is the right thread to discuss about this. I'm planning to construct some finnish winterwar battles. Maybe a operation too. I have two uncles who made a quite interresting research about winterwar at Koepiselkä. I have few exellent maps of the place and almost all information about the troops, battles, losses, victories etc. And most of the story is told with accuracy from hour to few minutes.. (damn my english sucks! :mad: Hope you understand this) It's called Korpiselän 105 päivää.(105 days of Korpiselkä) And i think i'll be able to get same kind of info conserning continuation war. I think this project is going to take quite long time to finnish but anyway it's under construction. I'll upload the scenarios and stuff somewhere when i get this done. Feedback and good opponents are welcome. I'll take some screenies too..

Thanks for fast reply. I think i'll try that right now with some pioneers..

Hell-o. I'm a newbie here on forum, played CM's for few years, and like all others, i'm totally hooked. I think there's some kind of discussion about this elsewhere... Are the bridges in CMBB destroyable?(they should be.. :confused: )
