I also do not direct fire with units out of command, but all this is more a sign of my weirdness then anything else. :conf: Maybe this is why I only have a 60% win stat on the ladder.:chin:who would have thunk that?
The battle is going my way for the most part now, I still have some concerns but am feeling prettty good at the moment. I always try to split the map into smaller chunks and not to let enemy units travel from one chunk to the other without paying a price. The road seemed like a natural split for me which is one reason I placed my armour along it at startup and do not want to abandon it now. Most of his forces are now confined to a chunk of map that has one flag on it. and if I can contain them there then no harm done as I will be able to outnumber him throughout the rest of the map.
The most important being the centre flags where group B is heading. I am moving up 1 R-35 for infantry support to the church, if he chooses to engage me with the T-34 I will move my Pz's to take it out from the side. I am a couple turns away from dropping some 81mm HE around the church, will wait to see what I flush out of the area. I know it will not disturb the church occupants too much but he has kept most of his men out of the building and in the scattered trees and the cemetary at the moment.
I have the armoured car in my sights now, but can't stop to get a stationary shot at it as the T-34 may be able to hit me at this location, I have been watching it's turret start to swing towards the R-35 a couple times during this movement.
A couple of my Pz's are hitting some light buildings with enemy troops in them to keep him on his toes.
Group C is going to hide away in the trees and force him to come to me and then have to face my armour if he wants the flag. I have a sharpshooter away from the action here but he is able to see all that is going on behiind the hill. He is green so I am not going to have him snipe any commanders, plus they are only T-60s so not to concerned about a tank battle between them and my armour.
So overall, I am in a bit of a holding pattern for a couple turns trying to egg on some action with his T-34 and T-60s.
