@ Badger: Got a marginal loss out of #164 as well. The AI seized every VH but one; only time and terrain prevented a decisive. Nothing I could do to stop them.
On the topic of Italians, have you tried #31, "Never Seen Before"? You can get a marginal win if you play hide-and-seek with the Matildas, running around behind to pick up overrun but abandoned VH's. Sorta fun in a counter-intuitive way.
@ Roman: Replayed #28, picking up a marginal win this time (my shriveled manhood has been redeemed somewhat
). Rushed my guys into town pronto while leaving two squads at the isolated VH's and got lucky against an SPA on a bridge/VH hex.
Btw if you got ALL the VH's how come you didn't get a decisive? The German units aren't that valuable (unless you lost your AO and most everybody else). I lost two bridge VH's just outside of the main town. If I held 'em it would have been a crusher.
@ DRG: Roger that. After two or three tries I've yet to achieve a positive result. Tigers ain't exactly invulnerable...
