securityguard Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Anyone know some good balanced month / year combinations for a QB, and what countries in those month / year are good to fight against? Janurary '42 seems pretty good for Italian vs French, although italy has an advantage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Late '45 British vs German in Italy is a favourite, although you still have to fight 3k pts battles to let the allies buy some arty. The Germans have the Panther, Tiger, late StuG etc & the British have the Achilles, Firefly & 76mm Shermans. Both support weapons are excellent, with the 6pdr being a bargain. Very refreshing after CMBB's Russian 76mm plinking off everything. The infantry seems balanced with the Germans firepower being balanced by the ammo points of the British. The British squads organic mortar gets more useful every time it's used, although I wish it'd stop firing smoke before it's requested. If you play with 20% casualties the Germans can get some seriously monstrous armour & the British can buy the rifle Battalion which is nicely balanced & have 6 6pdrs & 12 (more?) Vickers. These all provide a very controlled rear area (can you tell I mainly play British). The Germans can also buy a lot of flaks which disuade the thin skinned armour from risking too much & can bring in a 150mm infantry gun - although the British get great mortars. The allied arty isn't cheap, but of course this is because it's superb. The 25pdr VT has a very short delay & 120 ammo. It's a killer. The Germans get (perhaps a-historically) easy access to the 105mm which certainly does the jerb. Have a look at Folke's site for an excellent run down on the units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
