CC#41 - Black Angels @100 (from Darek's PG2 archives)

Darek’s CC#41 at 100
MG's "Black Angels" with Composite efile v. 5.9 / played with PG2 2.20 exe & completed in Apr'2008

1. Drive on Tarnopol

Not very hard opening scenario, but after quite long break of PG2 playing I made some mistakes in my first attempt, lost one core infantry and got only V. In that situation I decided to replay whole scenario for better result and that aim has been achieved.
My air units got two crappy leaders during the battle and in addition I got usual AT gun as a prototype. Looks like not bad start for me, and I haven't found any reason for complaining about efile or scenario's setup.

Result: BV (-1T) / Proto: 4.2cm PaK41 @S[Leichter Traktor]

2. Zhitomir

Before the battle:
Purchased two small guns and upgraded two infantries to Flammenwerfers.

Not difficult scenario as well, but very long way to reach easternmost VH. I missed BV by single turn due to some supplying problems. My vehicles are mostly a short range type and run out of fuel quickly.
Newest AT gun is practically useless due to very low GD value, which makes it very voulnerable (tested on T-34 tank). I must maintain it carefuly until some interesting upgrade options will occur. One infantry unit got Superman leader.

3. Closing the Ring

Before the battle:
Purchased toy tank, advertised one (but not exactly).

Strange scenario. Long manoeuvring without engagement at the beginning. I divided my army on three task groups dedicated to each Russian VH accordingly. Wester and center VH were taken on time, but remaining eastern last one turn too long for BV.
The armored train was some funny toy. I thought that it is unmovable first, (or AI doesn't know how to use it properly), but finally it was moved by 1 hex and even shot once.

Result: V (+1T)

4. Across the Dniepr

Before the battle:
Purchased additional recon and upgraded big tank to T-34.

I detached the bridging tank with half of my forces to capture an airfield and northern VH. I was hoping that they can do it quickly and perhaps in spared time make big detour to southeastern VH, that was placed hopelessly far. Plan worked, but river crossing and airfield perimeter cleaning took more time than was predicted.
Remaining forces directed diaginally across the map, along enemy VHs line. Battle went smoothly from the beginning, but then big traffic around the VH in front of south river bridge occured.
So, finally I was a little disappointed, as both groups reached above mentioned southeastern VH (defended by bunker) in the last turn of BV limit, but cannot attack at once packed in transport. Always one turn behind.
I observed some nasty hidden deployment hexes here. One of them was occupied by big AT gun, that was removed quickly, but then ... surprise. In the next turn the same type of gun occurred again among my crowded units, smashing one of them easily with single shot (luckily it was auxiliary one). I must remove it again, and came with my unit in that place – so that SH was finally visible and secured.
I was very pleased with an auxiliary 8.8cm Flak LKW performance – very efficient against enemy planes as well as T-34 tanks. I will consider it as possible purchase seriously, even if it is rather expensive.

Result: TV (obligatory)

6. Operation Maus

Before the battle:
Purchased – nothing. Upgraded – PaK to StuG IIIF, Me-110C to Me-109G6, Stuka to Ju-88A.

It was very long but not difficult battle. Luckily I had my bridge tank that was critical to get BV here. That monster rail gun scared my infantry which advanced directly to southern VH, but flanking manouver of two AT units solved this problem and “Uncle” was blown out opening the way for BV with one turn spared.
I've got plenty of leaders during this battle. I'm persecuted by Liberator leaders, as they come one by one, obviously turning my 100% officer's run into some easier level (but don't blame me for that strange occurance). I hope to get some leaders more useful in the battle, especially for my core tank.

7. Maikop

Before the battle:
Purchased – 8,8cm FlaK LKW.

I said that previous battle was long, but this one proved that I was wrong.
I sent auxiliaries along eastern edge of map to the south. They captured all VHs on their way. Nasty 210mm range 6 arty, that was placed on hidden SH, smashed couple of units making havoc. It was finally removed, but next one of the same type occurred in the next turn. I have no resources to fight with that dreaded gun again, so decided to retreat survivors out of range. Anyway, finally an south-eastern oilfield VH was captured.
Main forces were deployed into landing boats around ports SH and crossed the river during couple of turns. They must capture all VHs on western side, including south-western oilfield at the end. I'm very glad of my Ju-88 bomber performance, which is very helpful in quick advance cleaning the way.
I've scored my third BV with 2 turns spared – but I'm unlucky with prototypes in this challenge – nothing again.

During whole battle I was focused on collecting as much cash as possible, avoiding refitting units. I'm far below the cap, but was clearly too generous with spending my prestige during previous battles. I now it may be needed for upgrades when better tanks appear.

8. Malgobek

Before the battle:
Purchased – 8,8 FlaK36 AD and 10,5 K18. It was planned as single scenario buy. It's better cash placement than keeping it in the bank. I'm preparing resources for buying Tiger (or even two).

OK, I scored another nice BV here without loosing my core units. It was just-on-time achievment, but again I wasn't rewarded for that.
Now I have a dilemma at HQ, as one of my temporary purchasements got leader. The plan was to sell both units immediately and put investments on Tiger upgrade, but keeping that artie is tempting as well. I have two options: 1) sell AD gun only and upgrade T-34 to Tiger or 2) sell 8,8 AD, 10,5 K18 and 8,8 FlaK LKW and upgrade both tanks to Tigers. Decision is not easy.

9. Gizel

Before the battle:
Sold – 8,8 FlaK36 AD, 10,5 K18 gun and 8,8 FlaK LKW. Upgraded both tanks to Tigers.
I considered PzMc's advice but decided to go with 2 Tigers anyway. The calculation was simple – if I sell units that currently counts against the cap and spend that prestige on upgrade similar type of unit, the army value will be slightly lowered (due upgrade cost) – not rised. The rest, that spent on core tank upgrading, will be vanished from account. Anyway, I think my army (14 units) value at this stage is quite low, still comparable to PzMc's (18 units) at his 60% run. In the near future I will put some money on core units upgrading surely, to keep army value possibly low, but before Gizel I haven't found to many interesting options at HQ.

In the battle I clearly missed BV by 2 turns. It was caused due to snow/sand hexes supplying problem, which reminds me old good CC9 desert battles. I was forced to make some stops in good hexes to refill load of fuel and ammo.
5-bars Russian guard infantry is real monster now – hard to kill for any unit excepting Tigers. They smashed couple of good quality auxiliary units without problems. Ju-88 was the remedy and saved the battle result in that area.
I observed interesting issue with an armored train. It has very limited movement (in line along the rails), so when the rail behind was blocked by its friendly infantry and I attacked the train from opposite side, it was completely blown-out, as retreating wasn't possible. This was similar issue that may be observed when attacking completely surrounded (of six sides) ground unit. For the train just blocking two hexes is enough.

Before the battle:
Upgraded: two infantry units to Pioniere, StuG IIIF to IIIG. Purchased: 8,8 FlaK LKW.

One of easiest scenarios so far. Crowds of enemy units, but nothing special to make you scared. Again white sand battle, so it's necessary to place units carefully for resuplying. I scored last turn BV and finally got second prototype – new recon unit.

Result: BV (=T) / Proto: PSW 234/2

11. Valki

Before the battle:
Upgraded: 10,5 gun to Wespe & 7,5 gun to StuH 43.

I'm back, finally. I see that status thread has been archived in the meantime. Please give it back (it may be not sticked), as some people are still playing CC41.

Before the battle I spent most of prestige on arties upgrade. I bought bridging tank temporarily, hoping it helps with rivers crossing,, but it didn''t see any action rolling always behind main forces. I sold it after scenario promptly.
I had problems with quick advance and wasn't able to each all of VHs behind the northern river on time, mainly due to hard terrain and some hard to kill Russian units on the way, so BV was missed clearly by couple of turns.

12. Through Hell's Gate

Before the battle:
Upgraded: recon to Puma. Purchased: 8,8 FlaK LKW.

Considering scenario's name I expected very hard battle here, but it was almost easy. Perhaps it was a result of bad snowy weather during first five turns in a row. In the meantime I advanced continously meeting very limited opposition of Russian defenders. Finally, when good weather came, I had one of enemy airfilds captured and clearing the sky with 3 fighters and 3 flaks was a piece of cake. The only problem was poor movement of my wheeled recons on snow/sand ground and some resupplying problems, but the distance to cover was quite short so getting last turn BV was accessible.
After scenario I've got AD proto and my single AT got a poor leader during the battle.

BTW, I have noted at HQ that all units are priced with 10% discount to nominal value here – is it deliberated or some bug? I haven't noted such occurance previously.

Result: BV (=T) / Proto: 3,7 FlaK

13. Kovel

Before the battle:
Upgraded: last towed gun to Wespe & Me-109F4 to 109G6.

This scenario was quite difficult to me. I restarted it twice, after loosing some important core units, with modified units setup each time. Finally, in the third attempt, I was able to finish it without casualties, but my army advanced slowly with big respect to enemy, so the result wasn't impressive – just TV. Anyway, I was very happy that went through this hard battle with all original full strength units, as new units are available now at HQ with lowered strength at 8 sp, so it is not satisfactory replacement for looses.

14. Defence of Warsaw

Before the battle:
Purchased: Wespe. Upgraded: Wespe to StuH43. OS'ed some guns.

This scenario could be harder, but enemy aggressive behaviour made it easier for sure. I sent all my core forces southern route, expecting stronger resistance there, and all auxiliaries northern way, as it looked easier. I was close to BV, but missed it by one turn. Main forces completed their task without any problems, but weaker auxiliary contingent wasn't able to capture last westernmost VH, defended by T34 tank, on time.

15. Towards Budapest

Before the battle:
Upgraded: StuG to Jagdpanther.

Once again battle on snowy sand. Typical for that terrain type problems with supplying slowed down my advance. As new units available are weaker and weaker with every scenario, I don't plan to buy nothing more and will spend all my cash on upgrading or OS'ing my current army. Anyway, it's only one battle to pass and I see that even Loss is acceptable, so I don't expect any problems with finishing this long CC soon.

16. Gotterdammerung

Before the battle:
Upgraded: 2x Wespe to Maultier, 2x Flammenwerfer to Gebirgspioniere.

Knowing, that this will be rether defensive battle, I downgraded both Wespes to Maultiers, as they have twice bigger ammo load. Upgraded two infantry units to Gebirgspioniere, to make mountain crossing manouver possible. The rest of prestige have been spent on OS'ing some units.
I sent these Gebirgspioniere with two StuH arties, one recon and Jagdpanther across the forests and mountains. Soon occurred, that capturing both Russian VHs may be difficult, but luckily the weather was good and my airforces helped a lot. It was just enough to gain last turn TV.
Main forces kept encircled HQ VH in the meantime, holding its surrounded area against furious attacks of Russian waves. My best recon was KIA there, but luckily now CC is finished, so I can accept that loss easier.
