Decided to do an AAR from my side, german point of view.
As the title suggests I'm a terrible CMBN player and that's why my so-called tactics and strategies are more amusing than proficient.
Turn 1 (1:00:00-59:00) and Turn 2 (59:00-58:00)
Troops started move on to position. Nothing really happened except for the left flank where 1st platoon got eradicated by unsportsmanlike
US mortars... As I had only three infantry platoons to start with, that put me immediately on defensive stance.
My kindergarten-level plan for troop deployment:
Blue dots are MG positions and red lines are mortar positions. The forest around 3. platoon is actually a hill which offers a great overwatch position. As I have only two infantry platoons, plan is to set up defenses on these two forest areas and just wait for US troops. Although, I have a feeling that Dowly isn't going for an aggressive attack. But we shall see.
The village is the objective so I have to commence an attack at some point. But for now, I try to thin out Dowly's forces with MGs and mortars the best I can. For the inevitable attack I have a panther and a tiger to support, which I think I will keep hidden from him until the time is right...
