Hi all,

Thanks

It's the first scenario of AO 1943.
But what exactly is your problem?
What units do you deploy?

Ah I see. But there is no time limit?! Afair you only have to save your headquarters, killing the russian tanks is optional.
But obviously you should completly ignore the units in the south east and move straight forward. Tank/antitank combination or heavy artillery should be the way to go. Have you noticed, that you can deply some units in the North East?

There is a 5 unit limit and even with maxed overstrength units I cannot get to the HQ hexes before units from the SW take them. Scenario over.

SW units rush north to air fields
NE units rush Mid swamp forests to block units from East. Note the tank has Vigilant hero
Note that Rudal is at HQ air field to smash units.

You can use this cheatcode "setany strength X" to make your HQ stronger. I am always playing DvG and it is not possible to save it, not matter what units you have.

I always play with DvG and on Generalissimo and even on occasion the one where it awards the AI multiple random heroes to each unit. However, that said, it is always a race to get there before they overrun your airfields. In such cases, it requires your units in the NE to immediately bust their butts over to the West to stop the attack before the airfields are lost. Choose units that have greater movement, like Panthers instead of Tiger IIs. Every hex matters. That's how tight it can sometimes get.

Did you win this scenario on these settings without any cheats?
Afair its just not possible. In turn one the russian can already attack your aux units and in turn 2 they overrun the last units while also attacking the HQ. 2-3 shots are enough...Even your fastest units cant reach this location in time.

There is no cheating necessary. I use the following units:
Grenadier 43 (Gero von Manstein, Lethal Attack) - STR 20
Pz IIIM (Tank Killer) - STR 12
PzIVG (Vigilant) - STR 13
Tiger I (Albert Kerscher, Rapid Fire 1.5, Zero Slots) - STR 15
Tiger I (Tank Killer) - STR 11
TIger I (Tank Killer, Zero Slots) - STR 15
Tiger I (Tank Killer) - STR 11
Tiger I (Tank Killer) - STR 11
Tiger I (Lethal Attack, AT Support) - STR 11
SdKfz 233 - STR 12
Wurfrahmen 40 (Elsa Kloss, AT Support) - STR 11
Me410A (Hans-Ulrich Rudel, Rapid Fire 1.5, Double Move) - STR 15
High Command gets scratched (down to STR 9) but survives. And don't forget to replenish the AUX units after the first attack.

Master of Blitzkrieg (Tank +1 Speed) and using captured T-34 helps a lot if you are having trouble making it there in time, a Panzer IV without that and a T-34 with that has a movement difference of 2, which is quite large. I think you should receive a Panther (P) at the start of this scenario that also does the job well?

Yes, no cheats. That being said, I have had to restart the scenario sometimes. Like I said: It can be very tight!

Interesting thing I've learned here is that I never realized you can deploy any air units!! So I've always been doing it without any aircraft support!

Strange, either I am mixing up the scenarios or they changed it
I just tested it and you can easily reach the HQ with your tanks in 2 turns...or does Master of Blitzkrieg also give additional bonus when the ground is frozen?
