Once again thanks for your help.Between reading the manaul and playing the game i didn't get to sleep until 10AM:D :eek: I hadn't realized that you needed adobe acrobat to view it.
i started a WWII campaign just to get some practice in before i play a mega-campaign.Wow that was really cool knowing what i'm doing now,no more why can't i's?
Picked the japanese,first mission was nomohah(sp,still sleepy
:D )Figured i'd be fighting the chinese,so my forces weren't really built to take on the russian onslaught.My armored forces were only two engineer flame tanks and three medium tanks along with that i purchased a patrol boat(figured it being china lots of rivers)an engineer section,patrol car section,the japanese company that comes with all the medium infantry,a bunch of snipers,couple of FO's,and a ton of infantry artillery.It was actually pretty funny because i had to stick my patrol boat on top of a hill,lots of hilly terrain,rain and only one road that branched on my side of the map and very poor off road movement in the valleys between the hills.I started off aggresively and took the obj's that sat in the no-mans land between the deployment lines.occupied the one cluster along the side of the road with engineers and placed mines while my medium tanks ranged ahead to get the height advantge of the road before it dipped into the valley by the russian side.moved my infantry along the flanks because the terrain seemed better suited for them to hold out against russian armored attacks.Ended first turn,a couple of t-26's show up along with a SO rifle squad on the soviet ridge on the other side of the valley fire a few ineffective shots with my Chi's and figure the height advantage and weather would allow me another chance before they could close to effective range next turn,i'm actually defending but my orders seemed to state an advance at some point was needed.Anyhow i figured a couple of tanks and some infantry no big deal.Soviet turn-what looks like a whole **** regiment of t-26's and several gaz's and a couple BT's come pouring down the road at my three lone tanks.OP fire stalled some but they just kept coming and coming there was no end to them:eek: My three Chi's were surronded on the side in front behind and in their own hex by the swarms of tanks...i thought it was over:mad: Several turns later and the hilarious site of watching my boat on the mountain top OP fire at the russian hordes advancing down the road there were at least two dozen burning or abandoned russian tanks and armored vehicles along the road directly around my Chi's as in true samurai fashion they stood their ground and dealt blow after blow to the advancing and ineffective russian force,a smaller russian armored force was destroyed near the OBj cluster on my left flank by point blank fire and assault's launched by the infantry platoon defending them,even my 70mm guns who could view the action took part in the carnage.All three of my chi's were still alive though out of AP,the russian t-26's seem suprisingly vunerable to HE,panic had swept the soviet hordes though they would just readvance the next turn.No longer fearing the soviet armor i brought up my flame tanks to support the chi's and the real carnage began,it was really cool watching the soviet crews panic and abandon their vehicles everytime the engineer tanks spewed flame at them and then watch them perish a fiery death as the next shots got them.The road to nomohan was now thoroughly littered with the burnt out and abandoned carcasses of soviet armor it was time to make my advance...
As you can see i really enjoy this game,though i kinda felt like it was unrealistic that my few jap armored forces dealt such heavy casaulties without taking any losses of their own,and i didn't even play around with any of the preferences to make it easier.I think its going to be another sleepless night tonight:D
