@ Jivemi: On the #72 Sacrifice of the Few I managed to knock out part of the tank force by getting some (lucky) hits with the inf. guns before they reached the ridgeline where all the tanks and mized vehicles are in the beginning.
I assembled every vehicle with any kind of AT capability at the ridgeline (the two Gerat 81's are your most valuable asset in this scenario IMO), while sending the vehicles armed with only MGs to the southeast to fend off infantry and two vehicles to destroy the enemy artillery positions. Infantry was being used mainly to close assault the tanks. Most of my force was annihilated, but i managed to keep the enemy out of the VH's.
In scenario "28 I really didnt know what to expect, in the initial landing one of my gliders crash-landed so lost one team from the outset. I was wondering why there were so many turns and so few enemies. Had to make a hard choice not to leave any "rearguards" at the first village because I had so few forces, I figured if they recapture it I can easily go back via the road. Captured the second village and repulsed the first attack there with relative ease.
HOWEVER, the enemy recaptured the south-eastern village, so I sent one rifle platoon there, and of course the AI counterattacked to the northwestern village, while I basically had only two battered ones to counter them.
Well, turned out that all hell broke loose pretty soon. My troops were fighting house-to-house taking heavy casualties. i did have an ambush in place to salvage the whole thing, but as one of the tanks drove to the last VH the game sadly ended before that (I think it was turn 25 or smth). The results was therefore marginal loss...
I think the scenario is winnable the second time, but it won't be so interesting if you know whats going to happen!
