RE: From the Front - Bunker Assault!
Though I agree with most of the tactics (I don't agree with placing Marders in visible positions near the front, they're extremely fragile), in my opinion the situation shown is misleading.
There will be very few scenarios where you have such lavish means as this one, and such a short distance to cross to the initial Soviet line with good troop concentrations already in place. It's sort of the most favourable scenario for the Germans and the worst for the Soviets, with a very shallow bunker line and most of their forces being Fixed.
I stand by my earlier points that in the majority of situations, taking bunkers depends too much on getting a disruption roll, which can't always be influenced to the necessary extent by the player.
If this was for the recent teamgame for this scenario, it might also be fair to point out that the scenario didn't end with the historical result, nor did any of the other full day (with the day in the scenario title) corps-sized campaign scenario battles logged thus far (all ended with minor or major Soviet victories), which does not support the idea that the Germans can normally achieve what they could historically.
