RedMenace Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Anyone? Been playing this one scenario for a couple of weeks. Really like it but have struggled to do better than draw. Probably due to its design since the Americans call off the assault when night falls. I can see how it might be achieved - never facing-off with the Americans, falling back intelligently and letting them run into indirect fire, a Pak in the trees at the end of the main road into town (very important!) etc. I gave up firing at silhouettes in the buildings as it wasted precious ammo. Anyone had any success or really like this scenario? Edited July 13, 2015 by RedMenace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've only played it on "Warrior" level. Scored a "Major Victory" as the Germans. And "Total Victory" as the Allies. I can't remember how and to be honest, it is pretty rare for me to do well playing CMx2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Worth noting that the "Difficulty" level doesn't have very much effect on how easy the AI is to beat. It's more about how tricky it is to get the info you want out of the UI. This does make it a bit harder, but will be very unlikely to make much difference in your victory level; it's more atmosphere and immersion, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ts4EVER Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I played and won this as both sides. German side was harder, at one point I had to turn the second pak around to face down the lateral road. It was deployed literally one turn before the Stuart came barreling down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinaldi Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've only played it as the Germans in a PBEM, and didn't have too much trouble trading space for time, but my opponent was conservative with the Stuarts - the AI plans probably aren't to the same degree. I'm sure its winnable against AI despite the disparity in numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUK Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Just had a go - first time playing as Germans but have played the US a few times. A few thoughts: I would generally leave your men to aim for themselves rather than target places/troops. Particularly at night time - you don't want them to get surprised. Try to place your men at angles to the likely assault - this should mean not too many enemy troops can target you when you open fire. Keep a reserve back behind the front line to be able to redeploy quickly. Have your FO use a cover arc - they are good spotters, and hopefully should not get spotted. Don't be afraid to close-assault tanks if necessary - they won't be able to spot well as it is getting dark. Good luck - hope you do better next time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedMenace Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Managed something of a victory. I'm playing again. This time I'll write up the AAR. Edited July 15, 2015 by RedMenace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
