  1. ...aaand finished! Whew. Total victory for the Axis. That was hard work, but all the more satisfying for it. Well done, designers!
  2. What I did was a two pincer attack - one group striking from the (viewed from your starting position) extreme left, the other from the right. Suppressing fire on suspected positions, some Arty for good measure, then move up to the bocage to have excellent view of the big fields. After I had those positions it was like shooting fish in a barrel. I lost 15 men or so all told, the Americans more than 10 times that. What not to do: run up in force without having at least some knowledge of where the enemy positions are...
  3. I asked about this mission on here as well... Solution: dig in on your side of the bridge and use a unit or two to hold the objective. Then drive through with some stuff onto the exit objective. I left the road before reaching the Farm/Village and went into the field left of it. Then went for ceasefire - minor victory I think it was.
  4. I know what you mean - I have finally reached the last mission, and man, is all my stuff depleted and in bad shape... and I really tried to conserve. My Panthers are in especially bad shape - in the engagement before the finale 3 of 5 were immobilized, some had their optics knocked out, one lost a crewmember... but they destroyed 17 American tanks and 13 armored vehicles, with no destroyed Panther in return. Repairs appear to be pretty shoddy, with tracks especially one step away from destroyed on two vehicles, and Ammo, especially HE, is down to single digits in some. This will be interesting...
  5. Thanks! I'll try that then. Just chug out the ammo with everyone decently armed and try to break through with a couple of Halftracks.
  6. Hello Gentlemen, I am quite new to this series and loving it so far, playing only WEGO. I've recently decided to give one of the campaigns a shot, and I started with, as the thread title suggests, Panzers marsch! The first two scenarios went pretty smoothly, I won the second one losing 4 killed and 9 wounded and killing and wounding over 100 GIs in a pretty brutal double envelopment. Total victory. Yay! And now this scout and secure the road to Le Dezert scenario. I can't seem to figure out a way to cleanly crack those defenses around the bridge. The forests on both sides are positively thick with American troops, and so is the Bocage near it. Problem: very little infantry, NO ARTILLERY and precious little time. Oh yeah, and night. However I go about entering a wood where I know enemy troops are, it fails. I fire into it for a good long time, advance a squad from a good angle - boom. Crawl in, hunt in, boom. I'm at a loss how to solve this without taking unacceptable losses - is there something I'm missing?
