So finally things get tough. The rapid increase in size and difficulty could be to much for new players - for experienced ones, it's just starting to get interesting.
Concentrating my forces next to the street, there's not to much resistance. But - as stated before, i do have to much prestige. At the end of Bardia, i've got 5200 Points .. even after expensively resupplying some australians. This also is the first time, i've noticed that reduction to 10 after upgrading units. Dunno, if that makes sense. Will require some learning .. What i really enjoy is the notice of an upgrade in the units history.
Strange:
- the order of attack of the italians (as they finally do attack) is not optimal. A tankette attacked my pioneers, followed by attacks from those fortresses. Of course, that may have saved them aussies .. but
.
- italians still do not repair? When will they start?
- My Cruisers Mk I proved to be effective against fortresses. Not what i've been expecting. But i like it a lot, that the Mark I has some advantages over the Mk IV. Just upgrading anything to the latest edition worked fine in earlier DLCs .. not anymore.
- on the other hand the ships proved almost worthless. The destroyer took some fire, thus saving the engineers, but the light cruisers did not do to much damage to the fortresses. Helped keeping AA down .. not a problem of the game .. just me, having to learn, what they are good for.
- as already postet, two italian units did not join battle. The AA to the right of Bardia could move to the town, causing problems for my bombers ... but it did not? Still, they seem to passive to me ..
