bobnickbob Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I thought someone might want to play the tutorial mission with a little more balance. (I know most old timer have this one figured out) You can get this set up by selecting + 25% Axis in the play balance section (at the "choose side" screen) about 1 out of 3 times you will get one extra AT gun.... And yes I was able to win with the axis side after a few trys with just One more AT gun... bnickb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did it with existing standard forces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I did it with a 99 - 1 total victory, +3 experience & 25 % force bonuses to the Soviets. There was a LOT of good fortune involved there with bailing tank crews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnickbob Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 I didn't say I won right off the bat ,I think it was the 3rd or 4th try with this set up. And yes I had a problem with amo running out. as soon as I knocked out the t 34"s I shifted both at guns just to the other side of the flag and used them as much as pos and tryed to keep the rest of the troops from firing unless it was reeeealy needed, they mosty lobed grenades. And my hat is of to anyone that can play the axis side on the mission and win just as it is set up......... bnickb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnickbob Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 Agua Are you sure you were playing the tutorial mission from the Axis side ? Is there that much of a change in the AI from system to system, or did everybody else out there find the Ruskys so easy to beat. bnickb the lame gamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Uh ... yeah, that would be the side with the grey uni's in the woods on the hill by the flag, right? Seriously, the a/i led with the tanks, and due to command delay, my ATG was able to take on one tank at a time. Neither tank was knocked out, they just bailed. The ATG then went to work with its HE. One of the infantry squads did run low on ammo, so I just ordered a counter clockwise rotation of that squad units on that side and brought up the other squad with nearly a full ammo load.

ARRPEEGEE Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Try it as the russians giving the Axis +200% That was one of the hardest fought games I've ever won..Damn fun, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Unhide your HQ's too, you need all their firepower to join in the fray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSword Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I think the Tutorial can only be won without extra troops if one is lucky with the ATG in killing both Tanks early. SPOILER WARNING With a gun and a Squad and 1 HQ one can get the Russians panicked using arcs on the open between two forests. Posting the other Squad together with a HQ in ambush near the entry point into wood with flag kills eventual intruders. But key is to neutralize tanks early.

JonS Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 First time I played Yelnia, I played as Germans against the AI. I won without killing any of the tanks. It was close though.

Canuck Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I just cant seem to knock out those tanks My AT gun gets in about 5 or 6 hits on the lead tank and there is sometime turret penetration but they just keep going and going and... I like the tutorial the best actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
