SS_PanzerLeader Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Hi all I jsut had the most incredible game against the AI and this is something I reccomend everyone trying I set up CE and took the Yanks - When I went to start the game I selected to unbalance the game in favor of the GErms So I gave the germs +100 What came next was wild The Ai went at me hard I was set up well and cautios because I knew I'd be heavily outnumbered at 6 :5 for tanks and 2:1 ratio against my men I set up in overwatch with a lead tank as bait, the AI took it and tried to roll a STUG up over the ridgline to remove the enemy threat, I replied with a Three Sherm concerto leaving a smoldering hulk of a Stug 3 The right flank then ignited and I went with a two on one duel against my other hull down lead sherm (in the woods) I took out the one stug with a zook from the side right after they smoked my sherm The AI then gets more cautious and brings down the most incredible smoke screen I've seen laid in a PC game IT literally covered the ENTIRE center of The village - and enveloped my tanks Expecting the Ai to try and Isolate my lead sherman I slammed it into reverse leaving my forward infantry unprotected (yet hidden and in ambush) My ploy worked my tank escaped unscathed and all four resumed pounding as the smoke begin to break- the Germ infantry stumbled into my ambush and got chewed up (of course this was only a minor dent in the HUGE enemy force ) At any rate to make a long story short this went back and forth with the AI raining down smoke screens and trying to bring the AT teams to bear , I ended up smoking another thank and repelling infantry assaults for the duration I couldn't believe I was able to hold MY troops performed incredibly ( I would fire and pull back as soon as they started taking multiple targets) In the end These were the results GErms (AI) 340 casualties (77KIA) 2 captured 3 vehicles KO men ok 172 Allies casualties 134 (32Kia) 3 captured 2 KO vehicles Men ok 107 FINAL result TACTICAL VICTORY FOR THE ALLIES Score Germs 36 Allies 64 an awesome display of AI tactical variation And by no means an easy battle I was AMAZED I was able to hold gotta try it guys LOTS OF FUN ------------------ SS_PanzerLeader.......out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_PanzerLeader Posted May 11, 2000 Author Share Posted May 11, 2000 BTW Steve love the feature to alter the size of the forces - is there anyway that you can select to alter both sides - say both up by 100? That would be WAY kool But if not its still an awesome feature Thanks ------------------ SS_PanzerLeader.......out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krm Posted May 11, 2000 Share Posted May 11, 2000 Excellent account. I had the AI do the same thing in Valley of Trouble. A massive smoke screen which enshrouded the town and significantly helped their advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
