Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) One way you could make this scenario dramatically more challenging for the Blue player would be to cut the time in half, add a Blue exit zone and mark the entire Blue force as a Red destroy objective.....This would force the Blue player to perform a less than ideal (but still perfectly feasible with the extremely strong forces at hand) 'Thunder Run' down the highway. Blue's losses would probably be slightly higher and mobility kills would count for more, which they probably should. Just a thought.

A Canadian Cat Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 2 hours ago, IICptMillerII said: Good question. I think given the overall theme of the scenario, the appropriate thing to do is to give OpFor the TURMS-T for the ammo. Sounds good. 2 hours ago, IICptMillerII said: During an attack, yes they would dynamically cooperate. If possible you never want to inhibit your own momentum during an attack. That makes sense. Don't help your enemy. 2 hours ago, IICptMillerII said: My main mistake was not doing a good job of keeping individual platoons together. IRL they would have not gotten so jumbled together because platoon leaders would constantly be maintaining unit cohesion. Whereas in CM the player is every leader at every level, some things tend to fall between the cracks. Gotcha makes perfect sense. Players have a lot of hats to wear. 2 hours ago, IICptMillerII said: No worries! I think I wasn't very clear of what I meant by "doing everything right given the circumstances." Sounds reasonable 2 hours ago, IICptMillerII said: If I was forced to do it differently, the only thing I can think of would be to hold my infantry back for much longer and just carried out the advance with the tanks. However at a certain point that violates another well known tactical principle, which is that armor should never operate completely unsupported. Good thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulomon Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Been away from Combat Mission for some months and just finished reading this. Great AAR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulianJ Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thanks for this great AAR @IICptMillerII . I really enjoyed it. Sadly I am a grammar Nazi (though no other kind of Nazi): Plurals do not have apostrophes. eg: two Bradleys advanced = plural a Bradley's infantry dismounted and moved onto the berm = possessive. Take no notice of the forum grammar/spellchecker - it is fked. Also, it would be good if you used a more spaced out font for the captions to the pix, as other people have said. I know I shouldn't but I seethed when I saw all these wrongful apostrophes. Please do not be offended, as I do not wish to cause any annoyance: it's just me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IICptMillerII Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'll definitely be using a different font for future AAR projects for the picture captions. I've gotten a number of comments about them being hard to read and I definitely intend to take the advice and change it. Thanks for the feedback! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 I've consolidated and posted this AAR in its entirety onto my blog, which can be viewed here: https://millerswargamingvault.blogspot.com/2022/04/msr-titan-combat-mission-shock-force-2.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
