CMBB QB ME DAR: Soviet vs Wittman, June 1944

[ekrommen]

For the 1st turn plotting, I run into problems immediately.

First, I re discover that green level troops wont be able to do the human wave. I was counting on that for the last 100 meter dash into the village.

Second, I brought in a conscript level spotter for the Army level rocket barrage. I found out that the conscript spotter cant do the "Q" (delay prepared barrage), so I wont be able to target my preferred location right behind the village, where I believe he would bunch up after 2 or 3 turns. So I plotted to hit the setup area. Also I tried to use "P/pause" to see if it would give a delay to the barrage for 20 seconds. I think this messed up the prepared barrage entirely, since no barrage occurred, and the next turn I saw there was a 21 minute countdown to a non visible target. So plan C is to target something in sight (the spotter is located in the far left OP) that will hit later in the game. I picked out high ground overlooking the leftmost flag.
