New file at the Repository: Norman D - Ratville (2011-12-31)


Recommended Posts

Ratville version IIThe basic essence of this scenario has not been changed. The Airborne are still surrounded and it's up to the infantry to link up with them. However, A complete overhaul of the force composition on both sides has been undertaken in order to smooth things out and make it easier to handle from the allied ¨commander perspective.The AI has been totally redone with careful attention to detail and the text has more elaborate instructions.Objectives now include the necessity to prevent "any" enemy forces touching Ratville (The Allied infantry jumping off position). if they do, they get a massive 600 points. Americans vs AI only.

Anyone got a US victory on this map? I play it in RT using the pause button when issuing orders and I never seem to have enough time left to clear the village.

Hi, I have stormed the church tower now several times after virtually wiping out the germans and got US victories whilst playing this scenario. Maybe I had an advantage because I designed it and knew what to expect from the AI. Anyway, it can be done but I am not going to put a walkthrough here as a spoiler. The Germans in this scenario are full of surprises and it should stay that way for anyone who tries to take them on.

My advice is just read the scenario instructions (your orders), rethink your tactics and don't lower your guard. tread carefully before launching your full scale attack but don't leave it so late either.

If you fail again, next time you will be court martialled.

No need for the court marshall Uzi. Got a major victory today :)

A citation has been written recommending you for an award and possible promotion.

How did your paratroopers do?

I actually kept quite a lot of them alive. Previously they were getting wiped out, this time I moved them to a certain area which was smaller to defend.

They did rather well and looking at the battle after it was really cool seeing the corpses and burning hulks of the Germans littering the field.
