Help with Assault on Wielke Dzial

[Ozgur Budak]

Rosienne scenario is notorius for its difficulty as germans. It is an inbalanced scenario specifically aims solo game. If I am not wrong Laz and Frank edited pbem versions of those scenarios. You can find them at TFE4.

As tactics I would be strongly against attacking KV1 with PzIIIEs. Even flank shots are doubtful and KV1's gun can easily penetrate PzIIIE's armor. Said this, as far as I remember I won that scenario some time ago by avoiding tank vs tank clash against kv1. Instead I engaged the T26s and russian infantry. Without their support KV1s had to charge alone and they fell victim to my infantry's satchel charges and flamethrowers.

Hello:

I appreciate what ye are saying. In terms of tactics then, what can those PzKw III Es do against the KV-1s? Assuming running is not an option. Do they try to swarm the KV-1 like the Shermans did with the Tigers? (I think this is how they combated the Tigers to get side/rear shots?).

Any tips appreciated.
