The Soviets philosphy has allways been "if we cant build a better weapon, we'll just make a sh*t load of what we do have." The sad thing (for me) is it works. At about 3 or 4 to one, the superiority of even the Tigers can be negated. And you seem to have plenty of tanks to spare. Given what little I do have to work with, I will have to hope for accurate shots and fall back. I figured there would be alot of Soviet armor (granted, you bought more than I thought you would - the joys of playing a new opponent!) and that my best shot at the middle vh's would be to take them early, dig in and wait foryou to come. Other wise if there were 30 or 40 T-34s parked outside Tommies ordering burgers then I would probably not be able to take it. Its obvious now, I also chose to only focus on the north and let you take the southern half of the map simply because ther arent enough Germans to go around at the moment. The game would be over just that much quicker if I tried. Yeah, I know about the trick with scouts / snipers. Throwing an infantry squad / mg on a tank (meat armor!) is handy as well, but the **** German infantry squads dont fit on a tank, and I just hate having to give up a man or two to get the squad on there. I usually either get riders or send armor out behind an infantry screen (which is what I did in the north due to the woods) which helps in spotting for the big guns as well. Given the wide open spaces of most of the map, it has been sufficient to have a few well placed lookouts and hlftracks / armored cars for spotting, so far anyways. My comment about the points was just that they are worth alot on this map. Makes them a lot more important. I always felt the true measure of who wins is who commands the battle field the longest / best or controls the pace of the battle, or draws the most blood without getting too beat up themselves. Unfortunately it is not always clear who the real "winner" is based on those ideals (as in a real battle I suppose) so points and big flags painted on the ground (or roof as it may be) are the guage we are stuck with. So, that battle for Tommy's (and his 9 flags!) continues! Scratch three more T-34's....so now there must only be something like 40 or 50 to go? :rolleyes: ) Yeah, no problem..... ;)
