Maginot Line (scenario 22)

[charonjr]

Maginot Line - Colonel - previous DV

3380 initial prestige this time, down to 2040 after repairs and since this is the Maginot I will buy another Pionier, leaving me at 1750 prestige.

Besides the Pioniere I will use a lot of artillery and bombers for this one, in addition I will try to bring my remaining units up to the XP cap.

Available core units: 38

Infantry: 8
2 Wehrmacht Infantrie ***(*)
1 Fallschirmjäger ***(*)
1 Gebirgsjäger **(*)
3 Pioniere - 2 ***(*)
1 Brückenpioniere **(*)

Armor/Recon: 14
6 PzIIIF - 5 ***(*), 1 *** (3 elite)
3 PzIVD ***(*)
2 CharB1 *(*)
1 Matilda II **(*)
2 SdKfz 232 8 Rad ***(*)

Artillery: 6
3 15cm sFH18 ***(*)
3 Sturmpanzer I ***(*)

Luftwaffe: 11
4 Bf109E - 3 ***(*), 1 **(*)
3 Ju87R ***(*)
1 Bf110D ***(*)
3 Ju88A ***(*)

I will try to refrain from using the aux units except for the 1 280mm at my deployment zone, let's see if this works.

The captured tanks are surely nice for bunker busting due to their high armor rating

Nice little armored counter-attack from Saverne there close to the end.

DV at turn 11/15 with 3390 prestige.

Overall it was no problem, even without using the aux units. I like bunker busting, so I liked this map And I failed hitting the XP cap with my remaining units, but I had to hurry here, otherwise one of my fighters would have crashed

Just finished the scenario. A lovely bunker busting mission. It wasn't easy but i did it . Those captured tanks with their thick armour were performing admirably. Got a DV and 11/15 turns and no units lost. Remained with just over 3000 prestige points. I assume this is the last mission for now since the next mission brings you back to Eben-Emael. This grand campaign will make a great addition (addiction) to Panzer Corps. A big thank you!

Another lovely mission, as the other posters said, the bunker-busting was an interesting challenge. As the last few scenarios in the French campaign have been, this one seemed pretty perfectly balanced. If anything it was a bit on the easy side, but that is appropriate for dealing with the last remnant of the French forces. It was cool that it cycled me back to the beginning of the campaign, now I can try to grind out some more Chars if I feel so inclined.

An entertaining end to a pair of brilliant campaigns, can't wait to start 1939 all over again and see some of these changes you made.
