Dog Fight - Ostkreig Tournament Round 2

[Ricky B]

At least prior to playing Dog Soldier in this battle, I had decided his move was the best, and mirrored the historical reaction of the Germans who gave up the bridgehead north of the Chir in the face of this attack. I worked with Foul in testing his changes to this scenario, always playing as German, and was always scrambling to form a defensive line south of the river. I thought the move south would be a good one, buying time as Dog Soldier thought to crush the central bridgehead.

In our case, although the Germans moved south of the river, they either didn't or weren't able to shift forces to the left from that point, which allowed my tanks and mobile troops to put a lot of pressure on the Luftwaffe division, forcing Dog Soldier to commit his panzers to plugging that hole in the dyke instead of crushing my forces.
