Jamm -> PREVIEW AAR: Ghost Divisions: Guderian Campaign (6/8/2013 9:23:57 PM)

With this upcoming release, here's a sneak preview of the MP Campaign gameplay.
This match is between myself and Eric Babe.
It is played using Classic APs.

There are 2 Campaigns playable as single or multiplayer.
The multiplayer versions are enhanced for balance and playability for 2 human players.

We played the Guderian Campaign.
The first firefight is called 'No Stone Unturned'.
I play the German side and in this FF my mission is to take control of the roads.
Here's a pic of the tactical map.

I have a platoon of 4 Rifle squads and 2 Lmg sections to accomplish my goal.
I deploy most of my squads in the copse of light woods and a single squad on the left flank.

I move another Rifle squad to the VP and take damage from a land mine.
The injured Rifle squad is then promptly destroyed by a hidden Russian sniper unit.
The sniper unit is not detected this time when he fires and remains hidden.

Turn 1

My surviving units from the first firefight carry over to the next battle and are deployed in the first turn.
Surviving units have a chance to go up a level in troop quality when they move on.
I have 2 Rifle squads and 2 Lmgs from FF1, but unfortunately none of them improved.
They join the other German forces which consist of a platoon of 3 Rifle squads and their amored transport, 3 halftracks.
I deploy in the wheatfield and trees on the South edge of the map.

I load my troops and move up.
A hidden Russian 45mm AT, opens up from a stone building and hits.

I move up a second loaded halftrack.
The Russian plays a command action card and takes another shot with his AT gun.
He misses.
