Reims (beta2 - scenario 20)
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:13 pm
Reims - Field Marshal - previous DV
Starting with 4740 prestige, down to 3740 after elite replacements - most of the more often used units are at 3 stars now.
Lost one Wehrmacht Infantry (my only one with +1 movement) to the counter-attack from Vouziers, but I don't think that I really could have done anything to prevent this. At least this gives me the chance to buy another Bf109E, since just 2 and 1 Bf110D are not enough to handle all those enemy planes.
Twice I had enemy tanks moving right infront of my 88 in PaK-mode which tends to be a bit unhealthy for tanks - the AI taking threats into account a bit more (at least at FM level) would be nice I think.
By turn 9 I reached the outskirts of Auberive which was unguarded (IMO there should be at least 1 unit in each city).
I liked the 4 AA-batteries around Reims, since I play with 3 Stukas most of the time - and I dare to say that a lot of players use a fairly heavy Luftwaffe emphasis - this made taking the town more difficult.
When looking at one of the Stukas I saw that it has managed to gain 972 kills (the highest kills for a ground unit are at 510). And since it looks like kills need for each medal were raised by a factor of 4 I doubt that getting the highest medal is possible for a ground unit unless trying really hard to get it (and even then it might still be doubtful). But on the other hand since the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit goldenem Eichenlaub, Schwertern und Brillianten (Knight's Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds) was only awards once (and to a Stuka pilot - Hans-Ulrich Rudel) the game might be prefectly right
Captured a Char B1 in Suppes.
Could have had a DV by turn 14/20, but kept playing.
In the end I got a DV at turn 20/20 with 4070 prestige.
Overall nice scenario, some more units guarding towns would be nice, but except for the AI issue mentioned above (suicidal tanks) nothing to complain.
