Dschugaschwili Posted May 30, 2000 Share Posted May 30, 2000 Like this: Name: Stefan Bakker Special ability: His first tank shot in a scenario will always be a "critical hit" disabling an (or the) enemy key unit. Or does this game just hate me? Dschugaschwili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Able to destroy all concrete Bunkers in just one fire mission.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I just ran through VoT with the idea of truly treating FOs as public enemy #1. Wherever I could find one rearing his ugly, bespectacled head, I targeted him with everything in sight, ignoring all but the most immediate threats. The results were dramatic. There was only one sustained Allied bombardment, of C platoon on the German left, which suffered heavily. Both concrete pillboxes and one of the wooden ones survived the entire game (and the other wooden one was killed by a bazooka). I left the AT box on the hill in the default position, and used it freely against FOs when there were no Shermans to shoot at. Result: Axis total victory. I must say I was assisted in this by the AI's propensity to move the FOs up front... but the FO-die-a-lot-now strategy seems to have worked. There was no major bombardment of the hill, Plomville, or the other VL hill on the German right. I believe there were 2 Allied FOs left at the end, but with casualties and heavily-soiled uniforms.

For the onlookers: In two PBEM games against Dschugaschwili i managed to kill an 88 in Riesberg and the AT-bunker in Vot with the first shot in the first turn. Dschugaschwili seems to tear his hair out in frustation over this while i am considering transforming my appartment to a temple for lady luck.
