Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France

That was... tough.

Last thing I expected was well planned blocking position, I was more ready to chase. 1 Cie got into serious trouble straight in the beginning and I had to send 2 Cie through the north-western approach to the village. Street fighting itself went well and I managed to block German maneuver and also eliminate German column, but this cost me a lot of my tanks and vehicles. My casualties are relatively high, 4 tanks down and entire mechanized recon decimated.

At least FFi and Brits managed to do surprisingly well. I deployed them near the road to the north, in case any of German units would slip through. Again, I did not expect 2 Panthers and AA battery over there. FFI approached unnoticed at first and brilliantly eliminated the AA. Aircraft killed one Panther and damaged the other, that was later eliminated by close infantry assault. Not only I secured that approach, but also sent in patrols on the other side of the stream and - with air support - destroyed most of 7,5mm battery there. I also discovered 6 mortar tubes nearby and took them out.

In the end however losses were high and German straglers are still hanging in the area. One part of the road is still not secured, but I generally got most of it and took my objective.

And next one. Nearing the end now.

After the capture of Lyon we were placed in reserve and received reinforcements and new equipment.
When we went into the line again, November had come and the first snow had fallen the night before. We are to advance into the Mulhouse Gap towards the German border. There are three villages in our sector that we must clear. American artillery and air support is on standby. The enemy is a German infantry division, probably with negligible armored support.

- Deploy your forces
- Capture whatever objective you want

Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France

I am getting back to it. Keep in mind I just upgraded my transport to M3 halftracks, so I am now technically speaking a mechanized battalion. Tanks and AT guns also got somewhat upgraded, but nothing really special here.

PS: It was good to be back to FH2 yesterday after a 2 years break. I believe we saw each other a couple of times ;)

Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France

Not that small if we like the same ;)

You do a superb mod. I play it since very first Battlefield I yet happen to have on my disc! I only wish Fall Weiss was there once again... but I am happy for community Mont Ormel. I will release scenario about it for SPWW2 in some time. I can eventually provide polish voices if needed ;)

Now, the Frenchmen.
Main effort was focused on objective Seine in form of entire mechanized company (1 Cie), supported with recon platoon and two tank platoons. Also, entire heavy artillery was put on that village. The fight was careful and Germans were overrun with relatively little casualties on my side.

I also sent 3 Cie on foot with some mediocre fire support to Objective Rhone. Due to attack happening on two axes of advance I also managed to capture that position with acceptable casualties while depraved of numerological superiority. Yet, by the time Rhone was engaged fight on Seine was coming to an end, so I managed to shift entire heavy artillery and that gave me some serious edge.

I also tried to advance further to the south, but another German position stopped me. I need to regroup myself and seek better way to approach final position.

And on we go.

After our advance yesterday, the Germans are still regrouping. We should press our advantage and capture the last objective. Be wary of counter attacks though.

- Deploy your forces in the indicated area
- Capture the final objectives

Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France

Took me a while to handle this.

Both positions taken, StuG counterattack beaten off with light losses. I made a mistake though and deployed too close. Given the superiority of mine it did not change much.

This seems to be missing the .cmt file.
