I was once able to at least draw... I made a video AAR, but for some reason YT removed it (it wasn't political, the video I mean).

Also, review the AD and MRPB in th editor; if the scenario ain't adjusted, maybe that's one reason why you can't win or draw against the 'Amerikaner'. If you don't know how to change the Attrition Divider etc, drop me a line and I will fix it for thee.

Hi, tanx for reply. Attrition divider is 10, max round per battle is 99. We are in default value. I tried this scenario a couple of time, and finally I achieve a marginal victory on turn 11 (fog of war off) by encircle US army to cut off the 2 supply source, capture Bures and Lezey but not Arracourt, holding my 3 Obj (Moncourt, Maizieres and Moussey). But not a real victory, it seems more an AI big fail. xd
Can you post in the future an AAR at this scenario on German side? I follow your tutorial, you do a very nice work. Off course this scenario is very unbalanced and pro Amerikaner.

Not really un-balanced.... the PzBde concept of the Wehrmacht was... well, not even like a half cooked chicken...

Alas, the AD and MRPB 'problem' or, shall we say, 'findings':

tm.asp?m=3045873

So, it's a half-day/turn scenario, so I'd adjust the AD to 28, MRPB to 3. The latter is adjusted in most cases, 'cept some real bloody pre-WW1 slaughters, to 3 or 4. As for the AD, see the link above; that will explain it to thee.

I achieve an overhelming victory, but it seems Ai fail then my victory.

You did better than me Anyway, glad you liked the tutorials etc.

Tanx Klink, but my strategies consist to wait some AI big fail and occupy undefended city. I conquer in battle only Bures, for the rest of time... defend, defend and defend. XD

Looks like it is possible to win with the stock version, but *very* HARD.
This was played with full FOW and all the new TOAW4 rules.
It took me about 6 attempts to win.

For me the key is to grab those Lezey and Bures ASAP.
Then entrench & defend with ignore losses.
Biggest problem for the Germans is the supply situation.
Most of my units were red/orange.
HQ supply indicator was mostly around 1%-7%.
So eventually I even stopped bombardments.




This is a tough one.
Actually I think it is rather limited in your tactical options when playing the axis. Maybe some rework should be done.
