Ah, another armchair 'observer'..
Any imbalance doesn't matter because it evens out when the players swap sides for the rematch..:)

Ha ! German advantage ?!? piffle... not when your own Stuka wipes out half your infantry, AA and totally screws up the movement of your main column ... :hissy:
ps: POS, do you want to start our mirror game now ?

COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Hill

As my panzers climb the slope, Herroberst's T-34's launch a surprise attack from top right.. Note also the action at the bottom of the frame as one of my panzers is ambushed on the woods road..

The ambush in detail; the panzer took molotovs, grenades and finally a Sturmovik strafe, at which point the crew abandoned..

COMBAT FOOTAGE- The River

My Russian squad in the trees sprays and grenades two of Mad Baron's trucks which are fording the river, forcing the dismount of two squads..

COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Wheatfield

Wigam's panzergruppe advances through the golden fields, combing out the Russians like fleas from a hound dog's back..

COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Hill

Cargol's Russian armour advances to contest ownership of the hill; here my panzers club down a KV2..

But this lone wolf T-34 immediately took revenge by blowing up a panzer..

Kevman's panzers demonstrate one of the most important tactics of CM tank combat- fighting tight.
It means that if you operate your armour in tight groups and begin taking losses, the other members of the group will be on the spot to take quick revenge no matter what's shooting at you.
Here my 57mm ATG knocked out 2 panzers but was soon blown away when their mates began returning fire.

Fighting tight isn't rocket science, just plain good old common sense, even SWAT do it..

COMBAT FOOTAGE- The Wheatfield

WarHammer11A's panzers overun the wheatfield garrison, and the German Company Commander is right up there with his men (circled)

Calmly monitoring proceedings from his Kubelwagen, he proudly reflects on all the hard training he did with his men and this maxim crosses his mind-

Big battle for the hilltop, my German force up there had enough beef on it to resist the Russian counterattack..

My Germans occupied the hilltop and some skirmishing occurred but time ran out before both protaganists could start slugging it out in earnest..

As my Germans edge cautiously towards the flag they suddenly come under pincer attack from Sphinx's Russian armour and I lose 2 panzers for no Russian losses..
