Final AAR, tough battle. It isn't easy to push them back to east. They continued to push/press on, and Team Blackhorse had a difficult time to push them out from the objective(s)

[Swiso]

a quick question...did you try to blow up the following bridges at the beginning ?
-hex : 1405,1608,2108,2409

Good job !
thanks

[LittleDogmaOne]

Swiso: Yes, I did. Once when you blow up the bridge(s) at the beginning, and then try to concentrate your force(s) in the center, and the south flank. Use your recon(s) to pin/identify the target (amphibious tracked vehicle(s) are your priority target!) they can swim across the river, and then breach the center stronghold.) Eliminate Soviet HQ is your secondary target. Once when Amphibious tracked vehicle(s) are out of the picture, it will force Guard Tank Regiment to drive all way south flank, and you will ready for them.

North flank, using your artillery assets in order to denying their movement(s) only if you spot one.

[Swiso]

Thanks you very much for the details.
What I found a little confusing and difficult is how to place units with their relatives HQ's in command range...
Especially the ADA units...
Must learn to master this side.

Thanks !
