Help with Assault on Wielke Dzial

[TheBigRedOne]

Hello All:

I need some advice on how to win this scenario with the Russians. The Germans have 3 x Flammpanzers B2(f). The only Guns I have are the 76mm Field Gun M27 (which fires 76mm DF - what is that??) and 45mm AT Gun M37.

How do you figure out from the data if these can hurt the Flammpanzers?

Thanks,

Gerry

Another thing to keep in mind is that the Russians at this point in the war were not up to handling the German onslaught. They had out-dated guns (as you are experiencing), and were typically over matched in most aspects. The scenario design for AoTR also didn't necessarily take balance into account as much as current games do. This scenario may be, for all intents and purposes, un-winnable for the Russians, just as the situation really existed for them back in 1941. I've never played it, but here's the PBEM log for the scenario. All German wins except for one draw.

I think this is the 76mm field gun you are referring to.

As you can see, that gun is WWI vintage. It might be effective against the infantry in the clear, but it's not going to touch the armor, for the most part.
