What are your tips for Armoured Charge

[prozac919]

I just purchased a bunch of campaigns with the sale. I keep getting destroyed on the Armoured Charge scenario. Any tips on how to play this?

I can't recall which campaign that one is under...?

This is the second scenario of Bliltzkreig France. Basically, it's a large French counter attack with very few Germans defending. You can't just defend in this scenario as you have to hold your three existing Victory Points, yet capture at least two more. I've played this a bunch. I came painfully close to capturing the fifth VP yesterday but still didn't succeed.

To take the flag on the right, use scouts and infantry to neutralize the scout in the woods. Supported by mortar and airpower, advance a flamethrower to take the flag.

Generally: also buy the AT gun & engineers. Put everything on sentry and ambush the french as they advance. Use the mortar and infantry to kill scouts and infantry that are getting too close. Stay hidden.

Thanks for the tip. I always pushed left. Pushed right this time. Keeping troops hidden did the trick to lure the tanks close enough to assault. Took a lot of plays but finally held out long enough to win this one against the AI.
