Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg - Take Your Infantry to the Attack Day - Remarks

This one is a very good scenario included in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg. Spoilers alert!


Rolling in style to the line of departure.

The mission is to assault a German-held town harboring heavy armor and infantry. Under my command, one company of US armored infantry plus a company of Sherman tanks. My plan was to attack the town from the flank, in hopes of engaging a very tiny portion of the German defenders.

1. If you have tanks, is all fun and games while you are in the open


Mostly ... By the end of the scenario the mud has mobility-killed four of my tanks.



Recon by fire, shoot and scoot style. There is an almost non-perceivable terrain fold that allows a hull down position for the tanks shown here.



Note how each tank gets a separate "target light" (yellow line) order.



You can cover a lot of suspected enemy positions with five tanks.



But after this massive knock in the door, nobody answered.


2. From pinned to badass: the evade command for infantry.


We both know about the "evade" command right here. This infantry squad got caught in the open by a 20 mm Flak gun. The evade command (orange line) is about to save what is left of them.

It's been years since I played Combat Mission. It has definitely evolved.
