Korsun '44 Alt Scenarios V3 now available

Hank,

The little halftrack units.....

It was much worse in the original scenarios! I actually consolidated many of the units into larger formations and rationalised the battalion structure.

They ARE useful. As Volcano Man says you can use them for ZOC's and for strengthening hexes etc. There are some wide open flanks for the Germans in the game and the halftracks are useful for providing early warning / flank protection. A number of them are recon units and can be used as such.

Finally, one of our testers uses them very aggressively - particularly against Soviet infantry. He parks them one hex behind his infantry defensive line and then steps forward adjacent to the enemy unit takes a shot and steps back. The end result is that it becomes the death of a thousand cuts unless you start to target the small vehicle units. D class Russian infantry will break way to often when shot up this way.

Finally, an additional note to VM's caution around having them near tanks. These units are VERY vulnerable to artillery fire. Try not to leave them in the front line if there is significant enemy artillery units around...,.
