Hailstone is luckier than UP844!!! [:(]
I will have to increase the difficulty of my scenarios! [sm=comp16.gif]

I still haven't played the scenario with the Germans: I found it quite challenging when played with the Russians, as I only managed to achieve a minor victory at the very last turn.

I don't think the scenario would very difficult when played with the Germans: I think the Panthers can easily deal with Russian armor by themselves: they should have a 80-90% chance to hit at such close ranges and every hit will almost certainly be a kill (except on the IS-2m, which should have approximately 50% chance to survive a front hit from a Panther). Moreover, unlike the AI, I will set up the Panther in CE mode and will keep them CE as long as possible (i.e., until Russian infantry comes close) and will use those nice King Tigers aggressively as soon as possible (provided they don't stall [:D]). A possible solution might be adding extra AI-only Russian tanks.

I tried playing the German side: the Panthers turned the T-34/85s, SU-100 and SU-152 into scrap metal with ease, but the IS-2m's replied in kind, killing three Panthers with no losses: they were hit about a dozen times, but never penetrated (not even side shots!!). They were finally destroyed by the two King Tigers near the northernmost objective. Russian infantry didn't achieve much, and was hit hard by the Sd Kfz 222 [X(]!

I achieved a Major Victory, (12 Russian AFV destroyed, plus 2 VP hexes, against 4 German AFV destroyed), but it was harder than I expected. Well done, Rico!!

I am looking forward at playing "Big Cats at Bay II" (Russian first, of course)

P.S. I was somewhat puzzled seeing a IS-2m that choose to fire on a Sd Kfz 251/1 (which has no chance at all to harm it) while a King Tiger was standing 2 hexes away [&:]. Of course, in its next fire segment, the King Tiger destroyed the IS-2m.

Where does one find these great scenarios? :-)

Hi Scott,

You can find them this way:

2 - Click on the "Mods and Scenarios" link,
3 - Then click on the first link "Submitted scenarios" (12 pages!),
4 - You can click for the first page : there's a compendium of all scenarios
with links to bundles (packs of scenarios) or individual ones!

Welcome aboard and... Good games!

Lilian
