Arras (beta2 - scenario 17 - British)

[charonjr]

Arras - Field Marshal - previous DV

Staring with 4590 prestige and got a Grenadier SE unit (will disband it at the end of the scenario). After elite replacements prestige is down to 3210.

Well, this one surely has a lot of armor... And this is what I call counter-attacks, have to repair a lot of units here.

At turn 19/24 the last British unit was destroyed and I could have taken the single remaining objective, but kept playing.

Finished with a DV at 24/24 with 3090 prestige. Overall very nice scenario, in between I was even a bit afraid that some of my units might be overwhelmed by the counter-attacks. Will have to see how much prestige will be left after repairs.

I took the British path this time after going French last time. This was certainly a challenging scenario! I failed to get a DV but I think it was because I waited too long to go on the offensive. I was expecting more waves of British attacks that ultimately never materialized. My marginal victory ended up on the outskirts of Arras itself on the very last turn, never really able to start a real attack on it or the city even further to the west. I have to say that General Edmond's counter attack was pretty frightening! Perhaps only bested in terms of shock and awe by the Wasigny counter-attack. Interesting scenario, I give it a thumbs up.
