Great video. A nasty sting in the tail when you got to the lock house. You still got through this mission with far fewer casualties than I did.

"Warts 'n' all" I'm just so glad that I decided to 'rush' at the end, and split my force for the two objectives. Otherwise I would have certainly lost a lot more assaulting the lock house.

Proambulator It will probably be quite a while before I take on this campaign again. I might use the Editor to extract this, and give it a go as a stand alone battle.

Zuruck zuruck is fall back. You know you got it in the bag.

Love this video. But if I could give some advice... you should have moved 1st platoon to an overwatch position across the bank after you got to your first objective then send 1st platoon in after your 3rd squad, 2nd platoon got annihilated that way 1st wouldn't be sitting on their ass for half the battle. Great video though!!!!!

Really a nice battle, I actually thought you had won the battle with maybe a minor win. So that one building was full of enemy troops was it, no wonder our troops took a beating in there.. Maybe should have troops run to door and all get there and then try to enter all at once. Better luck next time. Love this game.

It seems that more specific movement orders will keep troops in the desired terrain. JUst use more careful way points. Other wise with widely spaced way points the AI will take liberties looking for the easiest, most suicidal routes. Hope this works for you.

[@Proambulator]

horsensscope I have to admit I haven't tried more specific waypoints since I installed 3.0. Seems I'll have to do some testing :)

I found out that the HMG of the Germans can only face a certain direction, and although they have a great angle of fire, if you come up from its blind spot they are pretty screwed.

I've had to give up on this mission. My men won't cross the bridge at all :(

[@jameslanz2117]

Mine wouldn't either. Something is broken.

[@ckolonko86]

Damn. I might just 'Cease Fire' this mission.

[@horsensscope]

Enjoyed your presentation much. You may like ChrisND latest presentation on Utube. He works for CM and has plenty of comments and suggestions in his play through and streaming.

horsensscope I've watched several of his videos, though I haven't looked at what he's done since Black Sea was released.

What do you mean by turns?

[@Proambulator]

john smith I play in WEGO mode rather than realtime. Essentially I enter my orders, then press the 'go' button. The computer then works out what has happened and plays one minute of action. I can rewind and move around in that minute before pressing 'go' button to issue more orders.
