Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France
I got this setup and ready. Finished playing Wilfir's scenario recently and some PBEM games. I will be on it shortly.

Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France
Allright, there we go.
I actually took pretty serious casualties here (130 casualties). Maybe it is because I used smaller force, sending 2 Cie into the reserve and to cover the flank of objective captured previous engagement. And I did hesitate to use tanks, as German deployment was very efficient.
Nevertheless, I have captured second German position and prepared myself for serious envelopment of the enemy. Weaker screening forces claimed control over the road, they now wait for the rest of the troops to reorganize and assault Obj Toulose from the back. 2 German tanks maneuvering around were nicely beaten back.
Also, fighting patrol approached Flak 88's position and disabled two guns. As of the end of t he scenario, third one is in direct danger.
Those Warhawks proved useful.

Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France
That save file appears to be from the end of the second to last scenario (where you just captured the first hill).

Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France
Ok, done.
Quote:
Once the Germans on the third hill noticed that their position had become untenable, they retreated, leaving behind their emplaced anti tank guns and mortars. They also seem to have managed to tow away one of their 88mm guns.
The Axis forces are desperately trying to establish a new defensive line. The retreating Germans and Italian holding forces have prepared a position in the village of Takrouna to slow our advance. Intelligence reports suggest that they are also moving up an elite paratrooper brigade.
Chasing the Germans took until the evening. We need to overcome their holding forces and establish a good position in the village before darkness falls, in order to deny them these positions for the battle tomorrow.
- Deploy your forces
- Make contact with the Italian and German screening forces
- Secure good jumping off positions for tomorrow's attack
Note that this is the same day, so you can't reinforce your units yet.

Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France
Allright. Battles like that happen. Sometimes.
This was shortly speaking a disaster. Italian & German defence proved too strong, add to this my very limited skill in commanding motorized formations in this game and there we go.
I still have some reserves, but I need to be immediately put into reserve. I will not do anything with what is left of my force.

Re: Campaign Scenario Setup Help - France
Don't worry about it too much, a good story also needs a setback.
Quote:
After limping back from the bloody nose we received at Takrouna we settled into static positions for now. Before what will probably be our last battle here in Africa we will need to refill our depleted ranks.
Sadly, the supply situation is mixed: On the one hand we can incorporate Vichy colonial troops, which means we can completely replace all infantry losses. The tank situation is different however. Apparently we will be re-equipped with US American vehicles and weapons before our return to Europe, but for now we need to wear out our old British tanks and trucks. We can not buy new vehicles for this battle.
Other than that, we are supported by our divisional artillery and American planes for the upcoming offensive. Sadly, the delay meant that the Germans, most of them crack paratroopers, had time to lay mines, string wire, dig trenches and construct bunkers. The going will be tough, for this is their last stand on this continent. They may have repulsed us once, but this time we are better prepared...
- Deploy your forces
- Take the village of Takrouna and the hills overlooking it
