Scenario: Withstand La Baronne

[RetLT]

Spent the weekend playing this challenging scenario. It is well worth adding to the next patch.

I managed an MV but it took a lot of work.

If the Polish player stays static he will get slaughtered.

I pulled back into the woods in the north after the lead German units got within 500m and managed to chew them up with ambushes in the woods and arty fire.

Grand Pre was quickly overrun but I managed to stop the advance with concentrated arty fire and held Avicourt until I was pushed out by the second wave. Stragglers hiding in the town managed to retake it later.


A few patrols managed to get into the German rear and destroyed several mortar units.

I will be trying the scenario as Germany to see how far they could have gotten had they used more smoke and if the Poles had not retreated into the woods.

My suggestions are to add a few Polish snipers and a few German scouts.

One further observation: The rally % of most of the Polish units was below 50% so once they broke they were out of action for a long time. This made them easy to pin and destroy using fire and move tactics.

I can understand morale being low since their country had been defeated but I had not heard of their Officers/NCOs being ineffective.
