Bulletpoint Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Funny you should ask.. I just passed it finally, after many, many tries. It's one of those "puzzle maps" where you have to figure out what the designer wants you to do, and unless you do exactly that, you're not going to beat it.The key to solving the mission is to make a flanking move towards the hill with the 88s. If you do this very fast, you can knock out the two bunkers and set up your two 76mm Shermans to hit the German counterattack in the flank when it arrives. Then it's mainly just a matter of shooting fish in a barrel.It's not very satisfying to beat the mission in this way, as the only way you can pull it off is because you know the road is clear all the way to the flanking position, and you know a counterattack is coming exactly there. You only have this information because you have been replaying it over and over. If you play the mission without this knowledge, you need to slowly scout your way, and then there's no way you'll make it in time. Once the enemy tanks and infantry are in position in the hedgerows, it's basically game over.

Bulletpoint Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Apologies, I mistook it for another mission that also starts with E and ends with -ville But take a look at this video about the mission, actually it's in 5 parts. Maybe you get some ideas from that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEN Moore Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Thnx!!I very much appreciate that!this mission has tortured me for days!only two differences to how my plans and your came about;1. I always play in Real-time first time out [big mistake on some maps, i run out of time because of thinking/planning], the i run Turn-based.2. did your maps have these differences that you saw? >2a> In the field to the left [the one in the middle of map] I found a mine-field did yours?>2b> at the top of the map, the german's had an anti-tank gun aiming right down the road, so when my tanks turned the corner they were annihilated.PS; I gave your videos a "Like " and I subscribed, on youtube.many many Thanks!!John.

I just linked to them because I thought they might help you out.But yes, I remember the mines in the field. If I remember correctly, there's only one single square of them, so you can go around them.And yes, there's an AT-gun pointing down the road (and more nasty things at the road bend). It's not advisable to send your armour that route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warts 'n' all Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I think that you might be mixing these videos up with someone else's. Two different people have posted video series from this campaign. This current series has commentary on all of them. And I think the maker does a pretty good job of guiding the viewer through his actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I wasn't sure... is ecoqueneuville a campaign or a scenario. Either way, where is it available? The large map looks very interesting. Edited October 11, 2015 by Erwin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks Warts... I stopped in the first mission of Montebourg when I heard the campaign would need tweaking. Is it now all fixed and the final version? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it now all fixed and the final version?Erwin, to be honest I've never heard that "The Road to Montebourg" campaign needed tweaking, although I am still running v2.12 so there might be a problem that I don't know about with v3. The maker of the current series of youtube videos "Owenerd123" is using the v3 upgrade and doesn't appear to have any technical problems. I think that most people have only had serious technical problems with the German "Kampfguppe Engel" campaign. My only prob with "Montebourg" is my rubbish tactics.

Lille Fiskerby Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm playing "The Road to Montebourg redux" campaign (v. 3.11) at the moment and it works fine but those MG 42's are givingme nightmares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lille Fiskerby Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 There are several ways to play the Ecoqeneuville mission and the videos do a fine job showing that.I went for to groups each supported by tanks did'nt use my 60 mm mortars in direct support which i tendto do more offen now, those 60 mm mortars are very effective in direct support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
