RE: Black Sea Discussions
I decided early on to let Spike have one of minor VP objectives uncontested. My hope was to occupy one of the minor objectives with all of my forces and then use that as a springboard into the major VP. I was thinking that I could maybe change the orientation of the battlefield and catch Spike off guard and force him to redeploy on the fly. Unfortunately, almost all of Spike's armor went to the same objective I had settled on as my rally point. While I knocked out 3 T-90's in exchange for 1 Oplat, they shredded 2 platoons of infantry before they died. Without that manpower, it was impossible to clear the woods around the objectives. If Spike had realized my manpower weakness he would have taken my original objective easily. All in all, I think I was lucky to come away with a draw. Like I said to Spike, he had organized forces on all the objectives and except for my armor, I had only survivors.
