[QUOTE]Originally posted by Capt. Pixel [B]I don't recall having done [I]better[/I], but I've had better done to me. My first game with Goblin taught me a whole new respect for cheap infantry. He'd arrayed several companies (~6) of SO Conscripts in deep woods as a road bump against my advancing Italians. This slowed my advance to a crawl as I had to stop a deal with each and every one of those squads. His men would die and fall back, I'd press forward, they'd die and fall back, I'd press forward, they'd die, etc. I just couldn't get enough shots off each turn to move more than 2-3 hexes. While I'm diddling with his web of infantry, he hit me across a 3 hex front with ALL of his armor. :eek: I held him for a while, but too many tanks and not enough shots from me didn't slow him for long. In two turns he had 2 companies of T-34s in my rear and one move away from my artillery park. His losses were high, but the advantageous position he'd acquired made it more than worth it. I was reeling. It was quite a remarkable maneuver. Since that game, I've revised my force compositions substantially. Thanks, Gob. :p [/B][/QUOTE] IIRC, it was 10 Conscript companies. My plan actually involved them doing better than they did...:rolleyes: The weight of my armor carried the day despite the poor performance of the infantry. Belisarius, you haven't had your a$$ handed to you by me yet! All of our games were nail biters, and not pushovers! My most memorable moment was the day I discovered Ski Troops were UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY WORTHLESS!!!!!!!! I was facing Orzel and he had heavy armor and mines up the wazoo, and guess what ski troops cannot do?! Remove mines or close assault a tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: I had taken no other infantry of any note or number. Goblin
