Ok my after action.
1.I think the germans had an advantage to get into the town faster, less turns and height advantage from the rear areas. I could bring down Arty into the town without leaving my setup areas.
B.In any game I play i figure which flags i can get to before he can and of the ones i can't i try and setp up some heavy ARTY with a LOS to the Flag. If the game is tight i will hold fire till the very end and try to drop everything i have left on that flag in the hopes that i can disrupt any garrison their and therby neutrolize it.
2. I really never had any intentions to move my P70's into the town. i
wanted to isolate the town blocks with setting up tank and MG fire
down the roads and limits lateral rienforcing by the Russians.
Basically i would be gaurding the flanks of my main force and fight
a local battle that i outnumber the enemy. (that's my theory)
and in theory anything works, it's in the practical that it goes to
sh**.
But as always got caught in the heat of the moment send my armor forward. which is very stupid since at very close range their amor is far from invincible.
3. NEWS FLASH From the stupid German commander. Guys Just now afetr reading this thread did i realize that i had Russians in my rear.:hissy:
I was suffering from target fixation and i didn't even bother to look at my rear...very , very sloppy of me. I even called my wife to see and she just walked away shaking her head and she has no clue or interest in the game.
To answer a question or a comment about why me and Vic place our men in single file even though the road will hold side by side. Can't speak for Vic, but i think traffic control goes from what is normally bad to horrendous. It will take much longer to detangle the jam if you send them forward side by side. imagine a traffic fur ball and then two T34's make the turn just as it happend. I was lucky that the T34's targeted my P70. I personally would have targeted the Last HT
(the one just in front of the P70) with bothe 34's in hopes that it would burn (blocking LOS). Then i can shoot to pieces the rest of the column while the P70 get orders and try to negotiate the jam. In the end i think i just had more situational luck.
Walkure
