Yeah, I was aiming to support whichever flank would need it with the center
push. 1.Kompanie most likely as they are in bad shape infantry wise.

I must say though Dowly, these AARs are tempting me towards CM, the last one I played, IIRC, was the demo for Barbarossa to Berlin and that sucked me in quite well. Might have to have a think when pay day comes around...the only discouragement is the price, which is a tad steep.
It is great fun. But it also suffers from, like you said, steep price and on top of
that the next major update will be payware (adding such features like movable waypoints ).
The game itself, while fun, is a rough diamond. So many features and functions
you'd expect to see are still missing after all these years. Especially
the infantry aspect could use some tweaking.
But all in all, very enjoyable.
If you buy it, get the Commonwealth bundle, you'll get 8 or so forces to
play with (US, Canada, Brits, Poles, Heer, Luftwaffe, SS). Think it's $65 dollars
atm.

EDIT: Oh and if you end up getting it, try to keep out off the Battlefront file repository.
You'll end up spending an hour or two just browsing it and downloading mods.
Pretty much everything you see in the current AAR is modded, here's my modlist
for those who give a toss:

Code:
-Aris JagdPanther
-Aris King Tiger
-Aris Panther D ver 2
-Aris Panther A Early
-Aris Panther A Mid ver 2
-Aris Panther G ver 2
-Aris Terrain mod
-Aris Terrain mod 2
-Aris photoreal walls
-Juju's tweakedUI
-Mord's immersive american voices
-Mords portraits
-Aris water mod
-Paved roads 2
-Aris optional HD textures
-Aris Sherman skins (not all yet)
-Aris PanzerIV skins (not all yet)
-Aris M10
-Translucent trees (10% version)
-Vein's 2nd Rangers
-Vein's 82nd AB
-Vein's 101st AB
-Vein's explosions and smoke
-Vein's flames
-Vein's Germans
-Vein's skies
-Vein's smallarms muzzleflashes
-Vein's tank muzzleflash
-Vein's tracers
-AKD sound mod
-Mike's vehicles of war sound mod
And I'm nowhere near done. Need skins for the Commonwealth stuff and all
the remaining vehicle/ATG skins from Aris.
