Guest Germanboy Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 Ever wondered what a reverse-slope defense was? Two ways to find out, run into one in a PBEM and lose the game, or read this: http://call.army.mil/call/ctc_bull/1-88/toc.htm Also articles on night attacks, soldiers load etc. pp. very useful. Can be downloaded as PDF, an excellent site. Their homepage is: http://call.army.mil/call.html PS. I am sure Lewis will be interested in this quote from the article, re: the efficiency of high-velocity against dug-in infantry: "So, being on a forward slope when the enemy has direct fire weapons, high velocity direct fire weapons, is suicide." Major William DePuy, CO 1/357th IR.

Username Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 Yeah but steve isnt interested. Maybe for CM2. Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 Still, the tactic is valid. Used it succesfully against several game AI's. But then again, computer AI usually doesn't know what reverse slope defence is EVEN if you hit it in the face with it. Sad but true fact is I've never played a PBEM game in my life, so anyone interested in "teaching me a lesson," by all means, Email me!! ------------------ Juju Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 Actually, I did this in one of my PBEM games. My opponent situated his 88mm Guns close up to the battlefield of Reisberg and knocked out 3 of My Shermans. However, I was able to position my 3 Mortor teams and 2 HMGs up on the Hill on the American Left flank on the reverse crest. My mortors, like mortors do, at high elevation, were able to shoot over the crest to bombard enemy 88mm positions, where, his weapons had to shoot vertically and could only hit the front face of the hill. I wiped out his 88mm positions with no casualties for my 60mm mortors and my HMGs kept his infantry at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
