Since I was playing the Scotts we can say it was the 2IC in charge and you were in a secondary defensive position with the other two companies of the battalion on the south side of the river. <BR/><BR/>Now that the Russians have taken the bridge they're going to want to break out of their bridgehead and head for Grand Prairie. <BR/><BR/>When you're available again in a couple weeks we'll see if the russians can break out of their bridgehead. I'll have some more BMPs done and maybe I'll get to work on my Warriors and Challengers this week too!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-39153682783317016422007-11-10T11:26:00.000-08:002007-11-10T11:26:00.000-08:00Fair enough! We should try something similar again...Fair enough! We should try something similar again next time. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't really playing it agains to see if I could "win" it had things been different. I was just curious to see how things might have turned out different. When playing solo - I'm playing BOTH sides to "win" and generally don't favour either. <BR/><BR/>I had thought of deploying the brits on the reverse slope - but sometimes I think I'm still a bit in Flames of War mode - where there is no opportunity fire and tanks are the king of close assault - the way to stop any kind of attack seems to be you must get the best field of fire possible and start firing at the approaching enemy as soon as they are in range.... bah don't get me started...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the game and the coments on the re-run.<BR/><BR/>timtimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-12772564351521040712007-11-10T11:13:00.000-08:002007-11-10T11:13:00.000-08:00Looked better, Tim - though it's always nice to gi...Looked better, Tim - though it's always nice to give the attacker a 2nd chance...<BR/><BR/>I feel that I would have set up C coy (on the MRR left) quite differently than you did. I liked the Milan setup, but I would not have deployed on either of the hills at all. Instead, I would have put the troops at the base of the forward edge of the hill to the rear, meaning that either you would have had to come from the far left and risk an approach under the Milan, or crest the hill and face 3 Carl Gs at very short range. Keep in mind that the approach to that hill would be covered by B Coy Milan. Had the rules for firing thru friendlies been different, I would have placed my one remaining small arms section at the rear base of the first hill to provide close assault capability on the tanks.<BR/><BR/>In addition, I feel that the brits would have been better served by assaulting toward the bridgehead as soon as it became clear that you were committing to the left flank. This would have reduced pressure on the rear of the other company by taking it to the VDV. Would have been costly, but all I would need to do was keep one of the VDV coys pinned while providing close AT defense on the road and the west bridge approach.<BR/><BR/>signed<BR/>The Armchair General, formerly CO 2 Scots Gd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
