Guest SS Peiper Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 Pillar is that on the CD? SS Peiper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pillar Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 Yes, it's on the CD. However, it isn't called "West Wall" specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teufel Hunden Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 I got a Major Allied victory at the end of the second day. I lost 27 vehicles, but I got to the other side of the wall. ------------------ Jason "Casualties many; Percentage of dead not known; Combat efficiency; we are winning." (Colonel David M.

Guest Pillar Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 My first time ever playing it, and I won the op on the very first battle. My only lossses were two tanks (both Sherman 75) and a Halftrack. I thought maybe it was too easy or something? Anyhow, about loosing the halftrack -- it was cool because a woodan MG bunker scored the kill. I watched as the tracer came towards it and I guess a few bullets hit the fuel tank, because the HT REALLY brewed up! 3 crew survived, but the 12 Infantry inside didn't.

Havermeyer Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 I think I played this op last night... I scored a total victory with minor losses (6 vehicles). My furthest advances had me 3/5 to 4/5 across the map (probes, at best). This was my first op, and it turned out too easy, methinks... ------------------ "Two World Wars and One World Cup, do da, do da!" --British Hooligan, sung to Camptown Races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pillar Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Did you head over the bridges to the island or did you take the mainland route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havermeyer Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 I swept right and feinted left (as Amis). I had a stuart across the bridge on the last turn, and troops about 15 m away from the island left. I had completed the right side and was pushing troops toward the left, and had a sizable presence in the town. ------------------ "Two World Wars and One World Cup, do da, do da!" --British Hooligan, sung to Camptown Races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pillar Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 Interesting... I took the other option and went for the island, thinking it would be a good defensive position anticipating an axis counter-attack. I got all the way to the other side of the map.

Guest Pillar Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 I'm not much of a scenario designer, but maybe someone could make the Germans a bit more dug in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFE Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 Spoiler info below: The German side of the battle is not fixed, so the AI is left to place the pillboxes and bunkers as it sees fit. And in the first scenario, the pillboxes, minefields, bunkers, and panther tanks are of dire consquence. If the AI places them poorly, the Allies are almost assured a quick win.
