Yoozername -> Puma Recon scenario (7/22/2011 5:43:29 PM)
|
I don't recall the exact name but I played the recon by force scenario featuring the puma.
After reviewing the terrain, I saw that the road goes right through a wooded hil in the centerl. I thought it suicide to just run up that road so I decided to just do a left hook around that hill and use overwatch and agressive tactics. I used the infantry and halftracks as leapfrogs along my right flank. The halftracks dumping the infantry at a good spot and then they would press a little forward. This way, if they needed to reverse during the reaction phase, they could possibly pickup the infantry again.
The heavy armored cars would leapfrog each other and I stopped several times to suppress fire coming from the woods. The ground was messy and the going slow. I was just hoping to get to one of the flags when a sherman appeared. I seemed to get the upper hand on this threat and I don't know if he spotted any of my forces. The puma engaged the tank and with a sideshot took out this threat.
With that the game basically ended with a victory for me even though I never got close to a flag. I had no real losses and it seemed real in that I fought for information and kept my losses low.
The game was played on a win7 notebook and took quite a few sittings since the mouse interface is slow and also the unit selection is a bit sketchy. Clicking on a unit does not always bring up the menu reliably. This leads to tedium and slow gameplay.
