It's a New Dawn ( herroberst no peaks,please :) - raz_atoth - 06-03-2011 Greetings folks, and welcome to my humble DAR.I'm not really sure if a DAR can be humble but if one can,this should be it.... :) The most wanted figure-aka my opponent- today is herroberst .I'm quite sure many of you who played CM1 had the chance to cross the swords with him at one point or another.That would explain the amazingly number of games my esteemed opponent managed to record.No less than 890!That's right!890! 15 of this game were reported against your true and only.Amazingly(even for me),i have the upper hand in direct battles,but don't let this tiny detail fool you.herroberst isn't the first one on the CM1 ladder for nothing.If anyone can take out an entire King-Tigers armada just with halftracks that would be him ;) The scenario at hand is called 'It's a New Dawn'-hence my original title.Looks like a meeting engagement over an orchard with me taking the side of the (in)famous german army. I start with a platoon of infantry supported by a MG42 HMG,a panzershreck team and an armored car.2 out of the 3 squads composing my inf. platoon also carry shreks.All 3 have panzerfausts.So,i'm quite well equipped with AT assets. Probably my opponent has an infantry platoon as well.I'm inclined to believe he'll also have an armored car-a M8-perhaps.It's possible he'll have 2 armored cars to compensate for my heavy AT weaponry,but it's more likely if i'll encounter just one.So,all in one,things should be pretty balanced. The map on which we'll play is the one below. As you can see my setup area is on the east side of the map.This means,i guess,herroberst's starting point will be in the west. As i see it,there are two likely approach routes herroberst might take.It remains to be seen which one.In any case,i decided to split my forces.The first group will be made up by 2 of the 3 infantry squads supported by the armored card.The second group will consist of 1 infantry squad+panzershreck team+MG42.I plan to deploy the MG,so it can cover the open space in the middle.The rest of the second group will be used as a flanking force in case my first group will engage the enemy and hold it in one place.That's the plan,at least.But as we all know the best plan only holds up until the first bullet is fired. And these are my brave warriors ready to throw back the invading yankees.The level of detail is quite amazing. The $55 spent of this game were worth it,if you ask me.... RE: It's a New Dawn ( herroberst no peaks,please :) - Fubar - 06-13-2011 Good luck with the DAR, i always enjoy reading them :-) RE: It's a New Dawn ( herroberst no peaks,please :) - enigma6584 - 06-15-2011 Are you guys still playing this scenario? It has been a while since you last posted. RE: It's a New Dawn ( herroberst no peaks,please :) - raz_atoth - 06-16-2011 The game and the AAR are still on. We both has some issues with spare time and the turn rate was slower than usual. RE: It's a New Dawn ( herroberst no peaks,please :) - enigma6584 - 01-22-2012 Any chance of this one getting finished? RE: It's a New Dawn ( herroberst no peaks,please :) - raz_atoth - 01-23-2012 I'm afraid not. herroberst and me long ago decided to ditch the game. For some reason after a couple of turns we agreed that particular scenario was quite boring. RE: It's a New Dawn ( herroberst no peaks,please :) - enigma6584 - 01-25-2012 Unfortunate.
