BDW Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi I'm playing Butera Station as Italians. The briefing says that the ETA for reinforcements (tank x2) is 11:25. The clock is now at 11:47 and still no reinforcements. I'm wondering if anyone else has played this one and what they experienced? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Spoiler.... You should only get the two tanks you started with and then two reinforcements. But this is best blue vs ai, so it may end up being too easy for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 we're playing Human to human. I guess the reinforcements showed up early, as the extra two tanks came out towards the beginning. unfortuantely, the AT guns and the shermans took out all my tanks, so it was a mad dash to the exit zone before the sherman could do too much damage on everyone in the open! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You're the first to play it head to head. I think it may be very unbalanced for that, but I'm interested to hear how it turned out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 we've got about 14 turns left. I've exited about 60% of my italian forces i think. A small group is trapped in the villa with the two shermans threatening them outside the walls. my main force took a beating in the open. The two platoons i sent up the hill to deal with this guns were also wiped out (the shermans were an unpleasant suprise! and the italin tanks were no match). all vehicles were wiped out. didn't realize the command dealy on the big arty; in hindsight, I should have used it on the villa on turn one! (i think learning the delays comes from experience, but it would be nice to get an estimate of command delays prior to turn 1) I really don't know how this is going to turn out score-wise. I'll post the results here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Regardless of the score, you are doing better than the Italians did in real life. They were decimated in the open by a handful of Sherman tanks and the Italians didn't have any tanks. Those are there to give them a bit more of a chance. Sounds like you're doing ok under the circumstances! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Good to know! that makes me feel better. this one was a real challenge. funny bit: one of my opponent's SHermans took some self-inflicted damage to its tracks when it shot an HE round at one of my guys from point blank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
