The Plan Basically, I must take the village, inflicting as many losses as possible. From the scenario description I expect to meet: second line troops; being British, however, I expect a fair number of leaders and SW, including MMG/HMGs and ATRs armored cars: this means Daimlers, armed with a 40mm that can easily pierce my thin-skinned ACs. I wouldn't bet neither on their ability to effectively reply with their tiny 20mm guns, nor on the killing power of my ATRs. There's always the option of killing them in CC, a favorite of mine. 18 pdr guns: they may be obsolete, but I don't like being on the receiving end. I have several half-squads in my order of battle, which will make excellent scouts (a synonym for suicides). Their first task will be investigating those two juicy VP hexes, while the armored cars will skirt along the flanks (hoping there are no enemy ACs or guns) and take position on the mid-map road. Basically, my plan aims at taking as few VP hexes as possible to have the Brits counterattacking and then waiting from them, so as to have the advantage of firing first. (continues)
