Normandy 44 commando infiltration tactics - Paul - 09-28-2020 For all you experienced N44 German players out there any tactical tips on how I can mitigate Allied Commandos infiltrating through the gaps in my stretched defensive lines. We are playing with the default set up so no locking ZOC rule. RE: Normandy 44 commando infiltration tactics - CheerfullyInsane - 09-28-2020 Even without locking ZOC, they still can't advance from ZOC to ZOC if the hex is vacant. So have a secondary line exerting ZOC. All those small AA units come in quite handy for this. Just be aware that HQ and AT-guns on their own do not exert ZOC, so they can't be used for this.

I tried your suggestion but the commando unit was still able to advance ZOC to ZOC into a vacant hex 😕 RE: Normandy 44 commando infiltration tactics - Fog of War - 09-29-2020 (09-29-2020, 01:20 AM)Paul Wrote:(09-28-2020, 09:27 PM)CheerfullyInsane Wrote: Even without locking ZOC, they still can't advance from ZOC to ZOC if the hex is vacant. RE: Normandy 44 commando infiltration tactics - Fog of War - 09-29-2020 Because of the design of the game ( Axis OOB ) being accurate, this is where House Rules are really necessary IMHO. RE: Normandy 44 commando infiltration tactics - wildb - 09-29-2020 On page 11 of the user manual: Commando and Partisan units have the ability to move from one enemy ZOC to another. RE: Normandy 44 commando infiltration tactics - Mr Grumpy - 09-29-2020 Indeed the advice in post #2 is incorrect, Commandoes can move from ZoC to ZoC, the only way to prevent this is to have a continuous line of defending units (which I know you can't do) or have a powerful unit behind the line that the commandos are infiltrating and assault them. I can't see your situation, but in giving that advice I am assuming the Commando units are maybe 150 man units? If so they will suffer a disproportionate amount of fatigue if assaulted repeatedly by a larger unit. Maybe the N44 Vet's will have other ideas?

Thanks good advice on fatigue RE: Normandy 44 commando infiltration tactics - CheerfullyInsane - 09-30-2020 Duh..... Sorry, missed the Commandos bit.

If so they will suffer a disproportionate amount of fatigue if assaulted repeatedly by a larger unit. Problem is that the German player has to split into company-sized units to cover the front, at least in the first week. So a counter-attack is unlikely to field more than 120-ish men. |
