Crazy Aido -> Off I go to Russia! (6/25/2009 11:14:13 AM)

So I decided to tke an SS infantry battalion on holiday to Russia, until I get my head around taking screenshots, you'll have to make do with my sparkling dialogue, also, I can't get my slimy paws on the internet where I live, so I have to transfer stuff to my hard drive. When I get that all worked out there might be pictures.
After I finish my thesis.
It occured to me that it would be fun to be back in the driving seat, commanding from the front and all that, directing the movements of a small battalion and (hopefully) working my way up the ranks. It would be a challange to my tactical skills.
However after the first game it occured to me that I'm not so great as I thought I was.
The first game was, (I think) a break through mission. Five objectives on the table, with an exit objective. I fart around at the wrong end of the table and leave myself too little time to go for the exit objective, so I go for the other objectives with gusto. A small town with two or three fifty pointers, then some 100+ objectives in a forested area on the left. Fearing for my trucks in the open, I head for the town. Bloody stupid really, I should have gone for the trees. Ah well.
Currently the battalion support weapons aren't all that fantastic, I understand they'll be weak, but they also don't have the firepower to be, well, supportive. They take some casualties. The Rocket mortars are brilliant and are really my best anti-armour weapon at this stage, saving the engineers at close range. My machine gun platoons also take a few knocks. In the last two turns of the battle I manage to sneak a platoon onto a 100 point objective, not my most noble victory.
Russians have plenty of armoured cars and light tanks. This coule be problematic later.
