)OK
Kept the same core, but the map changed....has worked out being harder to deploy than I had wished, but so far (turn 15 out of 30) I have probably destroyed upwards of 35 AFV's to the sole loss of one halftrack, 2 scout units and 5 scout cars (ran straight into their artillery base in rear lines
)
I devided my force into 3 combat groups set about 10 hexes away from the central 3 clusters of VH's. I am deployed on my side of the VH's so none have been taken yet. Visability is 22 hexes and all my 88's are providing cover for all forward units. All dug in (supposed to be an advance...but it is the AI after all![;)] with interlocking fields of fire everywhere. It would appear that the Poles split into two main spearheads with A/C's up front followed by heavier armour. About 5 or 6 AFV's still visible but most of the main infantry advance seems to be wavering under intense 155mm rty that I pre zeroed on likely points of advance.
Should finish off tonight....let's just see what's in store, let's not forget that I only hold my own 4 VH's at the moment!
Cheers!
