Maus that Roared: Russian AI commits suicide!

[Tommy]

WB,
I am on the last turn on "The Maus that roared", as Germans. The Russian AI seems particularly dumb in this one. I put most of my AFV's on the 30 height ridge north of the autobahn - looking straight down the road at the Russians coming up the autobahn at level 0. The Russians then committed suicide by marching every one straight down the road at my AFV's. At turn 14, I had a few AP rounds left and every Russian AFV was burning, all of the infantry were routed. Not a single unit made it to the road intersection.

On the other front, south of the autobahn, I piled all of my infantry into the village & woods south of the intersection; then popped smoke. The Shermans, T-34s and hetzers parked at the western edge of the field, south of the village. They didn't get any Russian AFV kills but they stripped all of the infantry away from the tanks. Suicide - part II. The Russian tanks kept going. Into the smokey woods alone. What a knife fight! Every Russian AFV destroyed by panzerfausts. By the time the Russian infantry arrived, it was all over.

The net result was, the Maus played only a small role in the battle.
