RE: Has anyone had success with RV's 2nd training scenario?
I played it tonight and was able to take a major. I found hex 9,11 to be great for the radio and binocs. I held the tanks back and pushed the dismounted infantry forward to the tree line. After the softening the Germans on the edge of town we pushed forward and bumped in to the AT gun. We pinned it and eventually took it. In the meantime I covered the gap at 14,8 with smoke and sent 1 tank and the mounted infantry on a flanking move. Probed the ridge line and then took out the mortar. At this point we controlled the town south of the trail but no victory hexes.
We worked into town eventually exposing the other AT gun. We kept him pretty occupied while the tanks kept out of his LOS and worked over the infantry.
I took all objectives on turn 13/14 and then hunkered down.
So find the best vantage for your spotter. Work forward cautiously (use cover fire), work over the rear areas with your arty, husband your tanks carefully.
I will note that I was lucky and did not roll over the AT mines with anything...
I would not try that western route. That set up MG will be murder. The PaK is mutually supporting. Not worth the hassle or the risk. (As a side note, if set up, the AI will not change the firing arc.
