02 Getting Started Utah Beach

[Dog Soldier]

I have noticed the discussion about how hard some think bunkers are in this game.  Since the Getting Statred scenario of Utah Beach has been mentioned now in several threads, I thought I post a game I played against the AI tonight while watching the Denver Broncos pull a rabbit, and some other nastier things out of their hat to win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Those two bunkers in the center of Utah Beach fell to my attack around turn 4 & 5 IIRC.  The two on the north took a bit longer, one right up to the last possible move.

Download the game file !02 Getting Started Utah Beach Game End.zip to see the final result.  I got a draw.  Mostly because I was not too cautious about losses, nor did I send troops far enough north earlier in the game.

Download the *.btr files (!02 Getting Started Utah Beach Turn Replays.zip) to watch the actual game turns unfold.  Each btr file contains both Allied and Axis parts of each turn.  I got a bit sloppy in the recordings in some spots as the football game caught more of my attention.    

To run the btr files copy them into your Normandy directory. For most people this should be the path on your machine:C:\John Tiller Software\Battles of Normandy.
Click on File menu and choose Replay.  Then choose the btr file from the list presented.

Hope this little demonstration give some people who are struggling with bunkers or the game in general some ideas to use in their games.
