Ok, finally I got version 5.3 installed.
Allready being warned about these tough ass infantry units, I figured I might as well give it a whirl in a infantry heavy scenario I once made .
The following is here for your amusement not as critism toward Matrixgames or version 5.3 I think that topic has been well covered in other threads.
Having designed the scenario I was ofcourse very much aware of those german spec ops units that would pop up on the other side of the river that needed crossing...MY side of the river that is. So there I am with the pride of the Dutch army at the time, several platoons of infantry , two rickety tanks and a mule. ( well ok, no mule, i DID have an A0 unit though..that's for you fellow NCO's out there ).
Anyway, I had held one of those tanks in reserve because I knew that sooner or later Fritz would come for a beer and had no intend in paying for it.
According to the best traditions that tankcrew was sleeping on the job and got jumped by a german spec ops squad who swiftly reduced the tank to a smoldering heap of molten metal.
So far nothign new right..now the fun part, there was a survivor from that tank, let's call him Heineken for the sake of the argument. Heineken somehow managed, singlehandedly, to fight off and TOTALLY eradicate two crack german specs op units, with nothing more then his small arms, his boots and a vicious looking can opener.
The man deserved a monument where it not for the fact that the Hand of God accidentally guided him into an mortar barrage he had called for himself to deal with those spec op units. Bit embarssing really.
Now I know this is a fluke, even in 5.3 , and perhaps the rough terrain helped with his survival, all I had was a good laugh about it because It reminded me of that movie with that gopher on/under a golf course, starring Chevy Chase...Caddieshack (spelling?). I could just see that head pop out of the ground, look around, and pop back down again.
Ok back to the serious business of death and mayhem
