BletchleyGeek 260 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I am playing this scenario at the moment, and I am enjoying it quite a bit. Your plan is pretty much the one I came up with 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IICptMillerII 1,408 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Nice vid! Always a fan of cinematic CM videos. Wish I had more time to make more of them myself! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heinrich505 188 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Megalon, Really nice video. I enjoyed it - it was cool being in the middle of the action. Very nicely done. I played this one a while back. I actually did work some of my guys through the town on the right flank, took a fair number of casualties, but managed to secure the town objectives. I did reduce the bunkers early on, so I was able to storm the last objective on the left flank at the end. Thanks for the video. Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pandur 24 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) *SPOILERS* Uhm i have to admit i pretty much failed at that scenario right now. It was my first NATO scenario, i played exclusively Army and USMC so far(RED too ofcourse), i do have UK and NATO since the CMSF2 release but i did not touch it so far, plenty for me to discover, so i thought i give it a try, Hinderlaag was the first in list so i took that one. I was quiet surprised, the dutch have tiny squads, half the platoon wants to sit around and snipe with these lapua rifles i had no extra ammo for, even the HQ has a sniper. Not sure what to make of that. If i remember correct 2 squads in the YPR´s are set up to go close with C7´s and and MG. I used that one CV90 to kill the bunker by the highway objective -> almost all its programmable ammo is gone, it fire so much rounds into the bunker so quickly, and a few more onto a building and it was reduced to KE and machine gun, later it blew up I totaly underestimated how many troops the enemy has and how many RPGs, i got unlucky and 1 YPR was exploded with the squad inside, that did not help, after that i got everyone into houses i had a hard time to make progress. If a squad take 2 or 3 casualties they are terribly reduced in effectiveness already. The US squad with 9 persons has so much more "stamina", not talking about USMC. That was a hard lesson to learn, with the US troops i cream most any scenario i played so far, but that first NATO game i play, that was somewhat frustrating. Too late i realized that i need to hose down each and every enemy position i spot with the YPR´s(i guess), or i am not sure how i should be able to take out so many syrians with a hand full of rifles all the while suffering minimal casualties as i only have ~65 or so troops and the syrians 160 or so. The ~50 turn limit or so does not help. That was a low blow to my fragile CM ego, did not loose so bad to the AI in a while. I guess in the next try i have to abuse/use a lot more area fire on building and not sure what else, i have to get on top of these small squads, not sure how to use them properly.

SocialStudiesTeacher 11 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Great video. Just played this scenario again tonight. Have actually played this a half dozen times or so, with sufficient enough time in between each battle that I forget my approach from the previous playthrough. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. I can say that those landmines between the ambush site and the three story building get me every. single. time. As Pandur mentioned, I am used to whipping the Syrians with the US Army or USMC. This was a nice change of pace. And seems like a good tune up for forth coming CMCW, in which the US won't be so dominate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckdyke 173 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Use your snipers. Take the objectives in the last 10 minutes. The Unit is Limburgse Jagers (Light Infantry). Also, can be translated as Hunters. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aragorn2002 717 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Such an enjoyable scenario. Played it dozens of times and that video makes me want to play it again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
