Attacking

SHALL WE DANCE?

This sequence from a ladder game illustrates how moves must be finely-choreographed like dance routines..
PIC 1 - That�T-34's momma has shown bad parenting in the extreme by letting him play out alone. That's fine at kindergarten but a bad call on the Russian Front, so I detail a 4-Hetzer group to go slap the brat around..






PIC 2 - It's essential you use the top-down key '6' view like this and shrink to 'realistic' size by cycling SHIFT-C to plot your moves so they don't trip over each other. Also throw in 'P' pause commands for some units for the same reason, if you have to. Remember a traffic jam is the last thing you want..







PIC 3 - My plan is to have the Hetzers arrive at these final waypoints pointing straight down the throat of the T-34. I'm using 'Fast' because I simply want to dump them at the firing points as quickly as possible (think 'shock and awe'), I don't want them crawling around on 'Hunt' in this particular situation. And note they'll be firing through the corner of the woods, no big deal because there are not enough trees to block LOS.







PIC 4 - Zappo, scratch one T-34, he went down before he'd even had time to fire back! Note 2x Hetzers are slow arriving (okay okay so my choreography wasn't perfect) but the first two Hetzers were enough to do the job and put a smile on my face like a wave on a slop bucket..





PIC 5 - The last 2 x Hetzers arrive and find they've missed the party
