RE: LETO vs POS DAR (a turn by turn tactical review) POS NO ACCESS
[hirr]Leto, looking forward to another entertaining action report!
I was curious why you swung out to the left the Company HQ & mortar? It seems that force is more of a screening force that likely will not contest the left flag.
Why not start with the Co & mortar in the middle, which seems to be the main attacking force? Maybe strip a squad or two (from the left and/or elsewhere) and give the Co something of a small reserve? Or otherwise have the Co's flexibility for the other three platoons, rather than off to the side.
I tried something along these lines when I played this scenario as the Axis. I put a split squad and hq on the left (as well as a couple of shrecks), and I put the co, two squads and the mortar as a "reserve" in the middle. I ended up pushing my tanks in the middle too far forward right out of the gate and immediately got into hot water (that'd be the two burning tigers on the middle road in POS's rematch pic). So, I never really found out if this approach had anything to it.
