Fortress Grosshau - Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg

nice map, enjoyable fight but probably best for the US player

I don't think the Allies needed all those TD's, but could have used a Sherman 105 support vehicle.

Attack requires sound tactics, mistakes can be very costly….

No room to maneuver- but that’s the point.

The scenario was fun and required a lot of planning for the German setup to minimize the Americans' ability to shoot at my troops. I used many keyhole positions to achieve this. The western woodline was very critical to my defense.

I though it was a real challenge. See my comments on the battle.

Would be a bit of a challenge for the Axis player. The armor battle is key.

Has anyone else noticed the "bug" in this scenario, with the German 75mm light field guns? Each of them are issued HEAT rounds...but the game does not seem to recognize them. I have hit multiple Shermans and a Halftrack...but the game treats each hit as a HE round. In addition...every time the field gun fires one, the ammo count subtracts a HEAT round...but...adds another HE round?? Since the four 75mm guns represent a significant portion of the German's AT firepower, I would say the scenario is heavily unbalanced.

Here is a close up of the field gun's ammo count while it was hitting a Sherman...VERY WEIRD!!
