RE: Has anyone had success with RV's 2nd training scenario?
So far Jeff I have found this to be the most challenging scenario in RV and I have played the first 14 with a few later ones.
I think what adds to the challenge is the amount of time you have and the scoring of the scenario, you are correct it is brutal!
Try going up the middle forest, the one that has the mines in it. You will take a few losses but it will put you in a good position to assault the right side bunker once you move passed the minefield. I used my artillery exclusively on that bunker also. I got lucky with a few hits and removed some obstacles around the right side bunker because of stray rounds landing in the barbed-wire field protecting it's South side.
The Germans dont have a lot of troops in this scenario, but they are all high quality units, 2 MG teams and some mortar support. You can afford to take some losses, just keep your men moving with their eye on the prize, those 2 big 50 point objectives!
My intial strategy was to snake up that forest then break away to the open ground East of the forest and use smoke to cover my advance. This may still be a viable approach but after winning the other way I moved on to the next scenario and have not tried fighting this scenario any other way.
Brilliantly designed scenario!
