Manhay crossroad - meyhem

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Manhay crossroad - meyhem

I've been playing as German against the AI several times but on D3 just as I think I got a chance of getting a minior Victory the AI kicks in a counteroffensive changing the score into a minior defeat.

Is it possible to do better playing German side?

I got a hard-fought draw, playing on the painfully realistic delay setting, but I'm sure more accomplished gamers can best that - as this is a tough one it would be nice if people posted a picture of their AAR screen to see who did better - all in a kind of friendly competition [;)]

Some of the playtesters did get a better result, so it's possible. As the scenario designer, I can give you a hint: sometimes it's best not to obey all the orders your superior gives you in the briefing [;)].

But ... but .... what about "Befehl ist Befehl" then ? [:D]

Anyway, Marginal Victory with 27 points difference and that's scraping the bottom of the barrel of my capability as a commander so I'm not even going to try for the 50 point difference required for a decisive ... until I've had a good look at this scenario from the US pov [;)] I've refrained from doing so up to know as it kills the enjoyment if you know too much

Great scenario Pieter - really enjoyed it.

Greetz,

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say that from what I'm seeing you've all done an excellent job - above and beyond - Wargame of the Year without a shadow of a doubt.
