MAIN EVENT VI! Red Devil vs. [hirr]Leto

[Der Kuenstler]

Here we have [hirr]Leto's purchase screens. As with Red Devil, everything down to the antitank mines was imported onto the map and is the holding force to the East...



And here is the second screen....



For the backbone of his armor he goes with two platoons of regular Panzer IIIJs. Next he gets a platoon of regular IIIJ(Late)s. He gets cheated by the AI by getting one green one. The only difference between the two tanks is the (late) model has extra 20mm armored plate on the front. All of these tanks are equipped with the less than ideal 50mm L/60 gun. (But he was able to get a lot of them at regular quality.) He then gets two platoons of regular Marder III®s which pack a punch with the 76.2mm L/51 gun. They also have as much front armor as the regular IIIJs do - 50mm. But they are vulnerable with their fixed carriages.

He may use his green IIIJ(short) platoon for mopping up infantry and other light duty. The AI gave him a conscript there, too.

Concerns: Only one infantry company? No sharpshooters? No MG42s other than what was imported - more would have been a big help to the Germans on this map. No FOs. No veteran armor.

Good ideas: His three 75mm AT guns could do some damage (if well-placed) and Leto has bought transport for two of them. He's got a couple of 81mm mortars to counter Red Devil's towed guns.
