Thank you for Stalingrad

Pick scouts and snipers and send them out to spot for you...have arty on call to drop into the areas you are advancing into...also make sure you have engineers armor support to move up. It is possible to get a decisive on this one but you have to coordinate all your forces.

Thanks, but :
1/ I picked forces as suggested in the campaign briefing, to be "historical", so no snipers/scouts, no engineer armor and only few arty (as support : if I had taken Eng tanks I would have had no arty)
2/ I didn't try it for real, but I think that supposing you stay on the road and go to full speed your infantry can reach the opposite map edge (where last objectives are) in 12-14 turns at best. But the roads are mined, and the defenders have 3 ranks of units ! So really I can't see how you can get these flags except by a gamey "flag run" with mounted infantry when you know there are no more enemy units in the way...

I somewhat cheated. Meaning that I didn´t take the "historical" mix of forces. A few Tigers will help in difficult situations. However I do think that the first battle is the hardest one, because of the time limit.
