Grenny Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Nice battle.The northern advance got mauled pretty badly. But Red saved the day and took the OBJ.(with help by remainders of White)Also blue had to engage a dug in enemy tank platoon head on. They took lossed but came out victorous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Ah, you got that version! :1: I'm glad you were still able to accomplish the mission. I'd love to see a copy of the AAR if you don't mind sharing.Obviously - as with all your scenarios - there is a good degree of randomness built into the actions of Red. We willl revisit this in a few weeks time, using Scandinavian equipment. However, the TOWs on the Bradleys were a significant factor in us achieving a victory despite the northern avenue of attack having to be abandoned. Achieving that with just conventional IFVs would have been much harder, perhaps impossible.White platoon fell victim to the 'AI gunner' bug (I think that is a justified description) where an enemy AI vehicle needs line of sight to just one tiny corner (single pixel) of another vehicle in order to identify and destroy it. Crusty's Bradley was taken out by a T80 at around 3km range despite being at least 0.5km inside a dense wood.

That is the first time I've known you to be late on parade, and RL issues affect us all occasionally. However, some other players seem to consider it acceptable to roll up late routinely, perhaps assuming that we will always Pause/Rejoin to pick them up. I consider this to be impolite and inconsiderate and will not tolerate it in the future. A couple of months ago I brought the session time forward from 20:00 to 19:00 to better suit those in the GMT+1 and GMT+2 timezones, and that has resulted in our current very healthy turnouts. But we need to start at 19:00 sharp so that those players can get to bed at a decent time on a Sunday night. So in future we will only Pause/Rejoin for latecomers if they have a viable excuse, and not at all for habitual offenders. And H + 10 wiill be the absolute cut off for this procedure.I don't like laying down the law like this, but the actions of a small minority make it necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Good idea - Will do.In which case the C.O should pass his plan to the X.O so he can have it ready if the C.O doesn't show for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 https://youtu.be/wlkW4lnuCtAGreat video by the way; thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed watching it while reviewing the AAR file last night. I was personally gratified the scenario played out as I'd intended it to, with successful mission completion in the balance and a high level of intensity from players. Based on randomisation of Red there are even harder and easier versions you could have encountered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 In which case the C.O should pass his plan to the X.O so he can have it ready if the C.O doesn't show for some reason.Our current SOP was that the CO postes then general plan beforehand? So that way the XO can have a look, take what he needs and add his personal note.I think thats more gratifing then running someone elses plan. ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yes, but I'm thinking of the situation where everything is going fine until the C.O doesn't show up because he has stepped on a kid's toy and fallen down the stairs on the way to his PC. Or something. In which case the X.O would have to make his plan immediately before mission start and there would be a delay. But I'm easy either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will definitely be doing this one again in the near future. And in a couple of weeks time we revisit CT Heavy Delay with the intention of focusing on breaking contact and withdrawing to Town in good order rather than getting involved in close quarters combat on the west side of Causeway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Leader Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks very much gents. UK Armour provided invaluable feedback at the early Beta stage of this scenario so you directly influenced the final product you played and enjoyed on Sunday. Thanks again :biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
