Donan Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Greeting folks. I know this may be old hat to many of you (so bear with me), but as mentioned in an earlier post, I'm 'coming back' after a long while and never played this one before. First time, slaughtered. Post my agony. Few folks responded and one reminded me to search. Did so. Perused briefly and gave it another whirl. This is a great, fun, challenging (to me anyway) scenario. Some thought it should of been the demo, but I think it would of overwhelmed newbies. I had most likely a Minor Victory but lost an over zealous HQ and a Panther snuck in on me. I had 4 flags (including the Church), but lost that one which gave me a draw (50/50). My AFV's sucked:) TacAI got me once: I had a 'regular' go hull down on the left flank where it had just traversed a small hill, gully and then another hill for the hull down. It took a couple shot's, got two close rounds and a deflection and got shaken. But instead of reversing just down into the gully, it went down and back up the other hill for 'target meat' of two panthers:( As I said, my AFV's did poorly. I had an IS-2 (early)about 200 meters 'trading' shot's with a Panther. Both 'regular'. 3 shots to 1 for the Panther. Geesh. However I had one(!) great vet in an IS-2(early)stuck on a slope just to the right of the 'T' in town that had it's track's blown first thing. But then it proceeded to kill 8 infantry, 2 Panther's and 2 Tiger's and survived the encounter(!). Order of Mother Russia went to that LT and crew:) Donan [ July 18, 2003, 11:48 AM: Message edited by: Donan ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zook Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I often compare Jaegermeister with the Kobayashi Maru no-win scenario from Star Trek 2. I consider getting a victory playing as the Russians to be a right passage for the CMBB player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattman2000 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Or just do what Kirk did...use the scenario editor and cut half those Panzers out of the picture. "In my experience, there's no such thing as the no-win scenario." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one-on-one and no long range slug fests. I can usually pull a 1 to 1 loss with tanks. Edit: Just managed a 70/30 win over the AI.
