So you played it as Axis, or second side, against the AI which played first side if I understand?
That is how the scenario was designed to be played, "Best Played as Axis". It doesn't matter which sides starts first, it is up to the designer which side that is. The Axis playing second allows them to have the final move, which is probably the scenario designers intent.

As it was intended to be played.
Dan Caviness Wrote:Consider giving a human a try.
Which is not how it is intended to be played.
Dan Caviness Wrote:No matter what a scenario recommends...if you ask the computer to handle first side and force your computer to prosecute an offensive....you get game scores like the one you show.
It is designed that way, the designer did a good job, generally speaking.
Dan Caviness Wrote:No matter.
Not the point.
No, it's not.

You requested I try an impossible scenario, so I did.
Dan Caviness Wrote:Jason...explain that magic mix Chuck10mtn is asking about?
If you have a way to make this work, it is not obvious to me or a lot of others.
There's no magic mix. It is as straight forward as:
1. Try to reduce their supplies.
2. Soft up the target.
3. Try to cause disruptions.
4. Try to reduce their morale.
5. Knowing what causes morale checks helps.
6. Take into account the defensive terrain the defenders are in and knowing how that terrain affects morale.
7. Try as much as possible to cause morale checks - during the same turn!
8. Ensure adequate force is at hand to assault.
9. Prepare to assault more than once.
Engineers & leaders are useful in the assault!
Dan Caviness Wrote:Are you saying you have not ever gotten hung up trying to assault a hex over multiple turns? Share the magic please...
Of course I have been hung up on assaults and with practice have learned to do what I can to improve the odds. Now it's not a walk over as it would be without.
Dan Caviness Wrote:You DID make the new assault rules to make it more difficult...right?
Did I? No.
The 1.04 Assault rules are harder, significantly harder that the 1.02 assault rules, as intended.
