Ostfront Round 3

Haha contrary to your tips. I did a full blown attack on the center with Stuarts flattening all the Axis forces without hesitation. Works well.

jomni,
Do you think the inability to "light up the bay" with star shells from the one Axis mortar unit allowed your Russians to get ashore in force? I am thinking this might be tougher for the Russians in version 1.1 of RV.

I was lucky to catch a number of Russian boats in my game as the Axis before they made land with illumination from the Rumanian officers flare guns. They were headed for the center. Axis machine guns sunk every boat in sight. Later an artillery barrage destroyed a patrol boat. My good Russian opponent persevered and took most of the objectives with his diminished forces. He could not make up the difference in VP from those sunken boats and the troops lost.

Do others who played in the tournament think this scenario was just a simple matter of overwhelming Russian force and no need for finesse?
