Stonecutter vs. ChappyCanuck

A very fun battle with balanced forces on either side and some really cool terrain challenges to deal with. It would be better with a larger map as the German ATGs are wasted on the shorter ranges of this smaller map. Only real complaint was some type of glitch that caused the German ATGs to suddenly panic and flee for no apparent reason.

This was an entertaining battle. Stonecutter and I have been playing all of the CMFI battles in order from Tiny to Huge and this was one of the better ones. The terrain was indeed challenging....for me, the owner of the 88's, I had the usual problem on a short map - either deploy the 88's in the open with a LOS so that they can be mortared easily, or put them in dead ground or a reverse slope where they have very limited impact. I chose the latter this time and that didn't work out so well. An unusual glitch towards the climax of the battle saw my Pak40s take casualties from nowhere (and they were about 200 meters from each other) and abandon their guns - exactly on the same second of the same turn. Most bizarre. On to the next one.....
