WWIIRulz Posted July 14, 2000 Share Posted July 14, 2000 Well after playing this operation I am in confusion. The object was to hold the town of Nuvillle guarding over the road to Bastogne. I setup in the town heavily with a couple of troops and armor at the road leading to Bastogne. I held the Germans from coming even remotely close to the road to Bastogne, and the Germans didnt even make it into the town of Nuville. Also I inflicted more casualties than they inflicted on me. I lost 10 armored vehicles, them 18, I lost 34 men, (9 KIA), they 54 men (24 KIA), yet at the end of turn 15 it was a total axis victory. Did I miss something in the briefing?

jgdpzr Posted July 14, 2000 Share Posted July 14, 2000 Join the club. If you look down below several threads you will see a lengthy discussion about the problems with this operation. Many of us have experienced the exact same thing you describe. Pity too, because I really enjoyed the first (and only, for me) battle. ------------------ "Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar eats you.

WWIIRulz Posted July 14, 2000 Author Share Posted July 14, 2000 Why "the only"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aacooper Posted July 14, 2000 Share Posted July 14, 2000 Against the AI, I knocked out the Americans after the first battle (previously posted aboutt that), then AS the Americans, I kept it going for all six battles. I found the defender has to advance just to stay even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgdpzr Posted July 14, 2000 Share Posted July 14, 2000 "The only" as in the only battle the operation let me play before declaring a total Axis victory. And you know, I'd be just as disappointed had I been playing from the Axis perspective and gotten such a cheap "Total Victory." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasZ Posted July 14, 2000 Share Posted July 14, 2000 This happened to me as well (total axis victory) but only after I bypassed the town and tried to advance the map. I think the root of the problem is that it's an "advance" mission and there is no victory location inside the town. Alas for I was really enjoying it at first.
