Intel says 50-60 tanks approaching B3 and B4.

As an aside, I can not seem to take a screen shot when a dialogue box is open (says Intel report or the waypoint editor) is there a way to do this? Thanks,

Mike

Soviets have succeeded in getting 4 tanks over the River - with many more pushing into the same area. The next few minutes will likely determine the game. My reserve elements are arriving in Bad Neustadt.

MikeJ19,

great sequence of screenshots and reports.

Thanks.

All the best,
Kip.

Kip,

Thanks, it has been a fun battle so far....

The battle continues...

I win! Yeah. I enjoyed this battle. I will continue to play for a bit. Then I will do a recap.

The battle for Bad Neustadt continues...

AAR

What went well

The plan was a good one – blowing the bridges right away was essential

Smoke is really powerful, but I do not have much smoke, so need to keep it for when I need it most.

Plotting the movement of the reserves went really well. In real life, reserves are given be prepared to tasks – this is what I did when giving the reserves movement orders and then putting in a delay

I did not use limited orders, but I did not use too many orders each turn.

What could I have done better

Plan my reserve actions earlier. Knowing when to launch the reserve is one of the hardest things – I got lucky in my planning that they were ready to move…

Look for better locations for my tanks – where they would receive less long range fire from the soviets
It takes units a long time to start moving – I need to remember this!

Overall, this was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the challenge and the battle was very interesting with lots of important decisions having to be made. I'm happy with my planning for this scenario and my reactions. I think I will move onto a new scenario.

Great AAR. Thanks for posting it and good luck int he next fight!

I hope you enjoy my AAR. I'm moving on to the Pied Piper.

Happy New Year,

Mike
