Vacillator Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Okay, another quick necro of this thread. I'm playing this as Germans H2H, and in the briefing it says 3 Kompany Pioneers are due as reinforcements after 15 minutes. But if I'm not mistaken they're already on map at the start? Anyone else noticed this? @Pete Wenman am I right or wrong? As I was waiting for another Kompany of Pioneers to arrive I may be disappointed . EDIT - I may have picked up that it's 3 Kompany in the editor not the briefing, but they do seem to be on map at the start...

You don't need this company anyway; the scenario is unwinnable as the British. https://www.theblitz.club/scenarios/combat-mission-battle-for-normandy/boy-s-against-men/b-15.htm?action=scenario&id=3709 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I was hanging around a bit waiting for the reinforcements to arrive as per the briefing but it seems they were on map from the start. I only knew this after checking the editor, as it showed me which Kompany was the 'reinforcement'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Okay. Stop right there, before we go any further (yes I know, bad musical quote). On 20 minutes (the maximum 'delay') I did get reinforcements, and they are from 1 Kompany not 3 Kompany as I thought the Editor had suggested, and despite what the message on screen says (3 Kompany has arrived). I'm a little confused by this, but will now proceed to crush the British. @PEB14 you might be right after all, or I may be speaking too soon. And I had just resolved to finish the job with what I already had . Edited November 23, 2023 by Vacillator 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As you guess, I was on the wrong side of the blade… but Theblitz's stats consoled me somewhat…) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that this is completely unwinnable by the Airborne, but it's a tough one to say the least. I think a lot depends on whether the GE armour can be taken out. I lost the ATG pretty early on despite repositioning it out of immediate LoS of the GE, but the Airborne player has to think in terms of hiding and waiting for the GE to enter kill-zones for both infantry and armour. Also, the GE seem to be set to 'Crack' level which has much better (I would argue too much better) accuracy, because I seem to have lost a lot of the longer range firefights. I also think the 81mm needs to be used right up front to immediately take out as much of the GE Truppen as possible while in their initial setup and movement zones. We haven't quite finished yet, but I'm told that this achieved at least some of the desired results 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at all a fan of the Crack setting; it seems to be far too, unrealistically advantageous, but in this case, it does seem like setting the Airborne to that could make a good balance adjustment. Next turn, such as it is back to ya! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if anyone should read this and have no idea what I'm talking about, think bowling in a rustic but charming Somerset pub, with 9 pins and rather basic decor on the alley. But of course RMM, you will probably know it from your time in Somerset many moons ago... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
