In as German support unit. I wonder what options I have  I'm curious, what do you count as support units (Or what does the game consider support units)? Are tank destroyers support or just regular tanks? And do you have any experience with the Theater of War series? How does it compare with Combat Mission?

Grey Hunter posted:I'm classing support as unattached Machine guns, Flamethrowers, AT guns - basically smaller units Gotcha, I'll gladly take up an AT gun until/unless a Wirbelwind ever becomes available. That or some random form of an SDKFZ half-track, god knows the Germans had a million different variants.

Kenzie posted:I think the Germans could have just avoided the IS-2s. Smoke Smoke Smoke. I will never understand why smoke wasn't lobbed for turns on end to scrap any possibility of using the corner of the woods where the IS-2's were. Also, my HMG teams were boned from the start without any halftracks or movement. The fact that we kept so many infantry assets so far down south without having them attack the forest was weird.

uPen posted:Same reason the Germasn kept blundering into IS-2 line of sight even after they knew exactly where they were, high command was non-committal so there was nobody to say no don't do that. Well for me its all hindsight at this point. I can go on about how this should've done that or "this would've been my plan". Not having played this game ever, and not getting an answer if it's comparable with Theater of War, I preferred not stepping on any toes and just seeing how things go. That plan went well!

Arty on the fords is not unsportsmanlike. That's like saying the IS-2 positions were unsportsmanlike.

uPen posted:88's, Tigers and King Tigers are all capable of taking out an IS-2 with a frontal shot. "The Panther's 75 mm gun could penetrate the front of the IS-2's turret at over 1000 m, the drivers front plate at 1000 m and the hull nose at 1000 m."

Everything was fun up until the last week or so when player drop-outs starting hurting us really bad. Not knowing what current arty missions were and unit location/structure was more an annoyance than anything else (Judging by the posts in Soviet Thread).

gradenko_2000 posted:Also, I don't know how the Russians did it, but having one guy per tank worked for us insofar as Chunky Monkey was able to step in as a replacement for one of the infantry (or was that AT?) teams after a few turns of only commanding a very panicked tank crew. One guy per tank worked for us as well. The problem was dropouts. It ended up, in my case, where I originally commanded 1 tank then 1 tank and 1 Inf Platoon, then 1 tank and 1 Infantry Company.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Honestly, I cannot fathom the idea of using only information provided by Grey. As you saw towards the end in the German thread I started bitching because his maps didn't have near enough resolution to give accurate orders on the level I was wanting. We were playing on Ironman Mode, Grey just forgot to mention it.
