DMS Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) So, sides are chosen, there is a map: I am playing for Russians, starting at the left setup zone. c3k is playing for U.S., right setup zone. You can read conditions there. In short, I must take that bridge. As you see, there is a large open space between the bridge and the town. Of course, it would be nice to take a company of good old T-72s and to make a tank rush. (I have 7500 points - enough for 1,5 tank companies) But Javeline and Abrams... I chose: -152mm battery -120mm mortar platoon -Zala UAV -Artillery and air spotters -BTR company without a platoon -T-90, Chrisantema and Tunguska. 1 piece of each. -ATGM battery -Su-25 wing Setup for long range engagement and some infantry for guarding spotters and final attack. I am awaiting for you advices! Have I any chances? Edited February 15, 2015 by DMS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You know your adversary will ... "Attack" "Setup for long range engagement and some infantry for guarding spotters and final attack." Sounds like a solid plan. Spot the Abrams and hit them with multiple units form multiple angles. M1A2s are very fast to fire so you are best served if you can at least overwhelm / disable them before you KO them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdwing Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The Chrisantema has proven ferocious at range. Would another of them been advisable perhaps vs M1A2's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 buy any trps? one would have been nice on the area on his side of bridge, make that town a living hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That river is absolutely gorgeous. Stunningly realistic. Anybody know who did that map? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) It looks a lot like a variation of Studienka. George MC if so. Edited February 16, 2015 by sburke 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It looks a lot like a variation of Studienka. George MC if so. Yeah that's what I thought as soon as I saw it - it is a lovely map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 You bought lots of soft units + a serious amont off-map support, DMS. I am interested in how this going to play out. Personally i prefer on-map units, but given the power the US on-map units, maybe it was a good idea to go for lots of off-map units. Dont compete for superiority where you cant win. The UAV was definately a good choice and the Khrizantema is very effetcive against M1A2s too. You just need to be careful with latter one. Put it in hull down and in a treeline or something and use it as defensive anti-tank sniper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Khrizantema are vulnerable at close distances, as I noted in QB. I should use it carefully and only at large distance. I've found one position witth 1200m+ LOF. Artillery will ruin buildings on "command heights" and town on the right side, if I have enough rounds. And laser guided rounds, of course! And T-90 - last chance to kill that Humvee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I recently played a QB as russians using 4 Khrizanhtemas against several M1A2. At long ranges they are devastating. 1200 meteres sounds good. Are you going to order any 1st turn artillery strikes? How about a 1 gun arty harrassment strike, imitating spotting rounds to keep c3k anxious? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdwing Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Does 1200 meters really count as long range though? Thats still pretty damn short! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be I will get his spotters... Does 1200 meters really count as long range though? Thats still pretty damn short! Yes, 2000+ would be better.

By the way, I've found that setup zones are exposed to each other... I should lay smoke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanL Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah, having setup zones with LOS to each other will be crazy. There do seem to be some hidden areas. But smoke wouldn't be bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Huh, 1st turn passed and my BTRs full of infantry stil aren't burning! By the way, how to add video? http://youtu.be/asDgss27FfU I decided to move BTR platoon to the bridge. No hordes of Abrams tanks? Single Bradley? Are they hiding from my UAV at map border? May be I will be lucky enough to capture zone at the bridge. And may be some houses at the other side, who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMS Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 2nd turn. My T-90 kills 2 Bradleys, but it seems that c3k will move 2 platoons of mech infantry with their Javelines and remaining Bradleys into the town... And I have single squad there for sure and may be 2 more with some luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint I will do my part to lead you men to victory Bradley that fired at my units in test map. Yes! Not in town yet, will be there in next turn. My mistake that I sent only 1 platoon... Good start. Stay focused DMS. Yes, everything can change every second. I saw Abrams in clouds of smoke. What if a tank platoon will come out of a smoke screen?

Denis1973 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I saw Abrams in clouds of smoke. What if a tank platoon will come out of a smoke screen? Then just redeploy smokescreen between enemy Abrams and your forces to block a LOS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasMorbo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Hey DMS! Want some little hint on the playstyle of your opponent? There is an old DAR made by him, I could give you the link. It can give you an idea of his playstyle - which is very distinctive to say the least. It might give you an advantage. How do you think of it? How do the other readers think of it? Give the link now or just after the match? Good hunting! Olf Edited February 19, 2015 by DasMorbo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Then just redeploy smokescreen between enemy Abrams and your forces to block a LOS c3k did it! Abrams is coming through smoke. And my spotters are on the move. I will make a video tommorow. My BTR with ATGM platoon is destroyed, Krizantema is under fire! Ken will be out of the game for 3 days, so I have time to think about it. Hey DMS! Want some little hint on the playstyle of your opponent? There is an old DAR made by him, I could give you the link.

(I like them too, but they finish badly usually) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
