I finished the first battle. It was a lot of fun thanks for that! I managed to achieve a minor victory, for a loss of several aux units and one core unit. The latter I lost because a miss-click. I wanted to go to another place on the map, the unit was activated and went out to be killed by the T34s.
You can see the movements on the first screen-shot. I had one panzer kampfgruppe backed by two invaluable PzGrenadier platoons, and one infantry kampfgruppe the latter made of initially fix units. I believe I got lucky many times (usually i don't
)
1. First of all I by instinct chose the right path
2. The PZIIIL has a quite good front armor for that period I survived a few hits from the T34s. Of course T34s survived hits form the PzIII one magnitude more.
With the panzer KG I made a big encirclement and always used the cover of the forests and lower ground. Used shoot and scoot tactics all the time because the PZIII shoot pretty well from distance too if thed do not move a lot. I had laid mass fire on T34s and KVs from multiple directions, those beasts were hard to kill. Finally I took almost all the village except one victory hex.
The Inf KG was a secondary element but it has done it's role well It tied down precious enemy units and tanks when needed.
Wulfir, many thanks for this one and awaiting the next. Will there be some repair points?
Save files will be sent shortly.
