Okay Dan, you wanted to meet the man who did this one. Look in the lower right hand corner of every map and you'll find the author who did it.

Who did it? well, I did, of course. No one ever said war is easy, now did they <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

John G hit the nail on the hit. German victory is determined by two major items. You MUST destroy that train and (2) you must exit before the game ends.

Of course, losses should be kept to a minimum. THey hurt you. THe two things that will rob you of victory are what I mentioned above. Get in, and get out. If not, you will be overpowered.

It is a raid. The key to success includes speed, good planning and getting out.

Once those Matildas really get moving, kiss victory a sad goodbye.

If you still want to meet, I suggest bubble gum at one pace <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

I knew you were the one, of course, but I didn't want to stand up and draw your fire. Seems you hit me while I was lying prone behind a hedgerow! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I'm sorry if I upset anyone but,I went through the senario several times cheat to test it. In the end I only lost one squad, the mg34,and one sdkf 222 through a breakdown,destroyed all of the train,all squads within the compound and exited via the correct hexes and got a draw with a strangely low score, part if not all of the problem was the fact that I installed V7.11 without re-starting. Thankyou to everyone who pointed me in the right direction.I kept going back to a save that I had to try and do better but could not get anything better than a draw-- Very frustrating So sorry Bill if I was fed up with the senario.

No,no, Dan. I was joking with you. I was not upset at all.

I certainly understand the frustration you've felt. I've felt it dozens of times myself. So no offense taken at all.

Anytimt you have a problem, post it. Or write me. I'll be happy to help as will the rest of these fine gamers on this site.
