I played it last night

I really like it as your forces are pretty spread out and you've no real idea what the enemy has or where they're going. Bit like 'for real'.

I finished with a rating of Tactical Success, missing Decisive by 1% .

I needed to be more aggressive I think.

Just setting up for a replay now....

I've just started it, but there isn't a whole lot of time right now, so I'll be slow. I can confirm that the huge map is, as you say, very 'jumpy'. It's better at 50%, as you recommend, but you need to get in closer to do stuff.

The map is zoomable. You can go up and down as you need to. I just make sure I watch the action segments at 50% zoom.

Good Hunt

Not enough time, with finishing up work and the holiday running. - 4 days off and still doubt much gaming time.

Just finished with a 58% decisive.
Truly a great scenario, this gives (I presume) what is so typical for a NATO Div. commander to contemplate, you can't be every where just hope your deployment is on the money.
Spoiler alert

This is no small Btn. action,
You start with 2nd line units -reduced Leo 1A1's, PzGrens and scattered Grenadire Mot. Inf plus a good force of Recons.
With such a large frontage to hold, you just cannot do it. Make the hard decisions what to leave alone and just observe and defend with Force, where you thing the main Soviet line of advance will be, and from where a good backhanded counter-attack will spring from. Reinforcements come in drips (Leo 2A4's) which is just sooo tempting to feed straight into battle, I didn't do it. Better to consolidate for a Btn. attack (using Guderian's maxim - 'Kick em' don't kiss em')
PAH BO-105's will arrive, I used IN MASS as flying 'Fire brigades' away from Soviet Flak zones, these will decimate Tank Co's/Btn's.

Thank you MR for the time and effort for such a large undertaking, it worked!!

There are 12 holes in the dike and you have 10 fingers.

You also have a shovel to add some mud in places.

The question becomes when and where?

The situation is extremely fluid.

Good Hunting.
