Tobruk'41 Total Thrashing of Ariete in Operation Crusader Alt
Hi! Just started playing the Crusader Campaign with the latest version of Alt. Ariete is totally thrashed in the second day by a concentrated British effort (probably more than 75% of units eliminated before the Germans can come to the rescue with 15th and 21st). The whole Italian position around Bir el Gubi was simply surrounded while being Fixed. The new Quality Fire Mod of 3 in ALT may have made it even easier to trash Ariete due to a significant number of B Quality British units getting a damage modifier of +30% instead of +10%, also increasing the chance of causing Disruption. The main problem was being surrounded without any ability to react, then massively bombarded to disruption, followed by assaults. Any ideas about appropriate counter strategies? Or must one simply accept that Ariete is doomed from the start...
Thanks!
