Let's Play

[PoorOldSpike]

Nice vid, and I just LURV small battles like this, but I've never played Platoon Patrol..:)

1- I notice you play with ambient offmap sound ON, doesn't it drive you bananas because it gets mixed up with the on-map shooting? I always toggle ambient OFF so that when shooting starts on the game map I can hear it loud and clear.
2- The ford is the only way the Americans can get over the stream (isn't it?) so I think I'd put all my Germans on 'Hide' with short arcs at the start and only order them to start shooting when the Americans break cover to move towards the ford. That way I could cut them down in open ground.
By holding the German fire you'd FORCE the Americans to come out.
At the moment the Yanks are snug behind bocage so I wouldn't waste ammo (and give away my position) til they come out.
They outnumber the Germans, so exchanging broadsides in bocage in a battle of attrition would see jerry run out of men before the yanks.
But like I said, i've never played PP so what the hell do i know, ha ha..:)
