Tutorial - Kasserine 43

Post by MikeJ19 »

Good day all,

I just got TOAW IV and am about to play the tutorial (Kasserine 43) as the Axis player. I will be following the notes by General Staff for the initial moves and then playing on my own after that. I have played TOAW and TOAW III before but never posted anything on this site.

I have been playing Flashpoint Campaigns the last year - it is a great game if you like tactical level WWIII battles. I have been posting AARs at the their site quite a bit.

I have tried this scenario once already and got a significant victory - General Staff's opening moves helped a lot. I had some questions - mainly about supply - that I hope to raise as I go through the battle.

I hope you like this and that we can learn together.

Here is a look at the terrain...

Here is a look at the Allied Forces - I wish I knew a little more about the forces I am facing, but such is life.

I did not get a second attack opportunity in the opening turn. Oh well.

A look at the supply mechanics.

I'm trying to confirm what happens if the units sit for a turn to their supply.

One unit got attacked - which did not help my reckoning. However, here is what the numbers show:

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

I will return to turn 6 and play it now

Have a good day
