Little Tactical Problem ** SPOILER KC Major Bake **

[fluidwill]

With respect to DK and POS (and I have to give respect to DK he's fresh from stomping me in a QB and POS, well, his medals speak for themselves really don't they?) I think we can say that doing nothing and sneaking represent percentage play and the problem as set was "how to" assault a PzIV not "do you think its a good idea".

It therefore gives me great pleasure to publish the following which I received privately, the author is shy and has requested anonynimity though he obviously has a great CM future ahead of him. Thank you anonymous caller.

"1) under command and morale check, human wave with the conscripts and greens at the back (effectively ridding you of morale checks, making those troops only subject to reduction) and distracting the tank... while buttoned, the tank will focus on the wave attack if it is unleased first, so make sure you pause (if you have to) the green squad at the front to follow after the wave has started.

2) split the green squad and assault with both after the wave has launched. This also splits the grenade/MC load, ensuring that one of the split squad has grenades and no MC's (if the squad has MC first). The squad that has the MC will stay behind to guard the flag and keep it neutral no matter what happens."

The point 2) improves on my solution and is a TIP worthy of note, close assault (the grenade throw) is way more effective antitank than a molotov. I missed this though I was aware of the tactic and its validity because I habitually dont split my squads (morale again). An error on my part, next time i will do better.

Finally, in the final screenie there is information that had I picked up on it in game (and it was there) would have won me the game outright without any need to fart about with molotov cocktails at all.
If you are a truly elite CM player you will have picked up on it immediately, if not look again.
I didn't and I'm not though i did pick up on it when I looked round the map after the game ended so maybe ther's hope for me yet.
....when i finish kicking myself and move on....:rolleyes:
