CMBB The Bridgeheads

[ADK]

I have been trying to work through this scenario for the weekend (first scenario) and have not had much luck. My Soviet troops are continuously routed by the Germans.

Any thoughts/suggestions on how to approach this scenario as the Soviets.

BTW - Running to cover doesn't work <g>

One thing to note that I find odd. When my Soviet squads become alerted and then cautious, the TacAI plots sneak directly towards to German lines.

Is this correct? Seems quite unalert and very uncautious to me.

I'm playing this as my first BB scenario in order to get some first hand experience with the new movement modes for infantry (I have played BO a lot). Conclusions so far:

I tried human wave but started it too far away. The wave died about the same time as my troops started getting shot up. Oh, it was ugly. All those young sons of mother Russia wasted...

I managed a marginal victory by ordering staggered waves (i.e dispersed in both time and position) using the run command (to cover). But this too was pretty ugly. The main problem is a total lack of supressing fire.

I also observed the weird sneak decision of the TacAI. Screwy!

Next time I play I will try Advancing to contact, I expect some level of return fire will help considerably.

That wouldn't be fun, now would it? Anyone can do it with a smokescreen.
