Thin Red Line Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I've played this week-end 2 good scenarios versus human : Prokhorovka-Finale and A Deadly Affair. Unfortunately in both cases the games were partly spoiled because russians reinforcements popped up right in the middle of the axis troops. Anybody had the same problem ?

jwxspoon Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Hmmm. I have played the Prokhorovka scenario recently and did not have that problem. Perhaps I did not advance fast enough? jw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlichtingen Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Can't speak for Prokhorovka-Finale, but the reinforcements in A Deadly Affair make perfect sense if you read the Soviet briefing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Red Line Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 **** A Deadly Affair and Prokhorovka SPOILERS**** I agree but a platoon appearing in the open right in a middle of a german convoy only to be slaughtered by 20mm the following turn is useless. I prefer to organize a good ambush better than watch them die hopelessly. And my russian PBEM partner in Prokhorovka was not really happy to loose his 12 reinforcements tanks which popped already encircled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John O'Reilly Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 ******SPOLIERS******* I might add by the way (as TRL's opponent in "A Deadly affair") that I lost two trucks to the troops that suddenly appeared. That's 1/3 of all of my exitable trucks by the way. Two squads teleported into open ground literally right in front of my lead truck. I lost both almost instantly. It's a bit silly that reinforcements that appear in the middle of a map do not do so utilising the cover available and with some tactical sense to their positions.

Guest PondScum Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 **** Prokhorovka - Finale SPOILERS**** Resurrecting this old thread to say "me too!". This scenario initially looked like a nice PBEM choice. As the Germans I advanced two tank platoons to an obvious overwatch hill on the right flank. Played hide-and-seek with oncoming T-34s at a range of 1-1.5km for a couple of turns, and then - surprise! - a platoon of T-34s teleports onto the hilltop, 50m behind my tanks. Now, I realize that Kursk was meant to be a swirling mass of tanks, etc etc, but this is stretching things too far. I only lost two tanks, through luck and superior numbers, but it definitely was Not Fun Or Realistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
