I did write all of the puzzle briefings though. It was... interesting having to come up with reason after reason for why they only allow 1 single turn. :lol:
I'm right.

The writing is on the wall so to speak.

Ah, was that only on those 3 puzzles?

You can obviously push the Soviet tank back onto the last American airfield (that's how I beat it), but I kept wondering if it were possible to use your fighters to cut a path through the American air force to allow your Fallschirmjäger to capture it instead. IIRC they have enough movement to do so, but I gave up on trying as you're limited to three redos before you have to reset it and as I'd already found a solution I wasn't that interested in spending more time on it.
I did actually solve the Enemy of my Enemy with using the airforce to capture the 3rd airfield, at least before Patch 3.
The thing that gave it away for me is the fact that you had 1 unit of Fallschirmjagers.
I remember relying on mass attack of planes a lot, then chewing away at a section of them in order to allow the Fallschirmjagers to fly, land and walk to capture the airfield.
I suspected that there was another way of capturing the 3rd airfield, but I was set on using the jagers :)

Hah, so it is possible. Yes, the intended way is to push the Soviet tank back onto the airfield by blocking the other crossings (because there's a road it has enough movement points to reach it), but I couldn't stop thinking about that Fallschirmjäger either :wink:
