[panzerdarek]

Darek’s CC#16 at 100% - following deployment rules.
Das Reich (by Wonderdoctor), with modified AK equipment, PG2 1.02G exe, completed in January'2004

1. Panzer-Verbaende Ostpreussen

This first scenario wasn’t hard, but tightly set turn limit didn’t allow me to get BV.
Off course I shouldn’t complain about it. After reading all of scenario intros for this campaign I know that BVs isn’t so important here. Core army size is strictly limited and introducing any prototype may be difficult and possible only for units that are allowed to use (other must be sold).
Only two tanks are predicted to use later in the campaign. What about some rumors that this CC will be tank-friendly?

Result: V (last turn)

My core units killed in action:
None – so far.

2. Student

I spent all prestige only upgrading my Flak to SP and one ATY transport to HT.
It was tricky scenario, but a little frustrating with my core trapped behind mines in the corner of the map. Anyway, my arties were shooting mines all the time until were released (for little training) and one of them was awarded with Devastating Fire leader for that effort.
Student’s troops had had a hard time until my forces arrived. Some of VHs were changing their flag colors frequently (the northeastern one – five times at least). Plenty of landing troops was KIA, but all my SS units survived easily when fought only at easier final stage of battle. The second gun have got Recon Movement leader and I must now wait until sIG will be available (I know it may be killing machine and hope it happen very soon). Before that this towed gun won’t be very useful.

Result: TV

3. 7th French Army rush North

I’ve upgraded my RM regular 10.5 cm gun to the mountain gun 10 GebH16 (with movement 2) – taken exceptionally from regular AK2K.
My forces didn’t allow even single enemy to sneak through their line end pushed French units unstoppably into southwestern area of map. Both torpedo boats were spotted early and luckily eliminated without special troubles. The same with planes that were killed when tried to attack my forces.
I spent some of gained hex prestige for refitting Falshirm unit that defended (after landing in turn 2) the bridge on Oosterschelde, on the way to Stellendam. This key unit was under continuous attack. The last French unit was killed exactly there, next to it.

Result: V (last turn)

7. Unternehmen Seeloewe Training

Before battle (trying to follow Doc’s rules) I’ve upgraded I/SS Inf Rgt to Pioniere (I don’t want the new Pioniere that counts against the cap) and have bought 7 new SS infantry units. Unfortunately I haven’t had enough money for buying towed AT and could only afford horse carts as transport.
At the beginning I deployed only six of my units on the sea. Those units captured Dieppe SH thet allowed to deploy the rest of my forces. After that the job was easy.
I’ve got another proto for my effort – the second recon – and I don’t know what to do with it. Perhaps I should keep it as a replacement if my core recon were KIA.

Result: BV (last turn) / proto: PSW221 2.8 lePaK 41

8. Operation Marita

Before that battle I finally have bought towed 88mm AT.
A bulk of Yugoslavian units at the beginning surprised me. They appeared around my forces from nothing (reminder of Steve’s teleporting armies) but the way through enemy lines was cleared without loses and I started the siege of Belgrad soon. Three 150mm batteries covering the city were very annoying. They stopped my advance for a long time, but finally my forces captured the VH.

Result: V

9. Smolensk-Crossing the Dnepr

I’ve added new 10,5cm gun, motorcycle infantry and finally sent StuG prototype into action.
This scenario was very annoying. I don’t remember if I’ve ever seen so much artillery in one battle. Russian guns almost outnumbered infantry, but luckily they were not heavier than 122mm. I captured both VHs after very slow advance and got TV in the last moment.
Unfortunately one battle was missed after my poor performance, but shortening the way may be good option. I’m not sure if I will keep playing this campaign to the end when more “massive artillery” scenarios come.

Result: TV (last turn)

10. Kiev encirclement - Konotop

I’m still overloaded with work and it is hard to find some free time for continuing this CC. I hope finish it this year anyway.
Before this scenario I sold useless additional recon and upgraded one of 10,5cm guns to a little bit heavier one.
Too many units were in the battle here (the bug message appeared), but it went good and no problems with a BV this time. The advance of my forces was rather slow, regarding big amount of Russian units, but timing was good. I’ve got next leader - but no prototype.

Result: BV (-1 turn)

My core units killed in action:
None – so far.

11. Kiev encirclement - Romny

Before battle I upgraded my DF 15sFH to 17K18 and some trucks to halftracks.
Scenario went quite good and I got last turn BV - with a tank proto. Unfortunately that cost me one of my infantry units and I lost all 5 OS points on one of 17K18 too.

12. Operation Typhoon - Vyazma

I decided to keep prestige for later – nothing interesting to buy here.
Another battle with massive infantry and artillery – I’m not devoted fan of this kind of scenarios. It was very frustrating to play so long (6 or 7 rounds perhaps) without my core. AI turns at the beginning were very long lasting and annoying (every enemy unit must shoot) until the first line of defense was broken. Airforce usefulness was very limited, regarding that two airfields didn’t offer re-supplying. Final stage of the battle wasn’t hard after my core arrived.

13. Operation Typhoon - Borodino

Another “too many units” bug and another massive battle here. I still don’t like this type of scenarios and I’m a little tired with this campaign now. Playing it is more a duty than fun for me (I’m closer and closer to my durability limit).
Before battle I upgraded recent 10.5cm gun to the third 17K18. My forces supported by plenty of auxiliaries advanced slowly and unfortunately I missed BV by one turn. Again problem with airforce re-supplying occurred, but I suppose it’s intended.

Result: V

14. Operation Typhoon – Moscow / 15. Typhoon called off

I sold two infantry regiments and downgraded 88mm AT to 75mm PaK.
Following Pzmaniac’s advice I didn’t deploy any units here and passed both scenarios taking a loss.


16. Rzhev-Vyazma Operation

Auxiliaries successfully defended German VH when my core forces captured the Russian one without troubles.

Result: V


17. Operation Lila

I deployed only one unit, my DF 17K18 and that was enough for capturing VH in the second turn.

18. Kharkov

Before the battle I upgraded my StuG IIIB to IIIG. Knowing about coming deployment restrictions I decided don’t purchase second tank yet and keep some prestige for later.
Nice and not difficult battle, without nasty surprises, but auxiliary forces on western flank went a little too slow and I managed to get only smallest victory here, even so I captured eastern side VHs (including Kharkov) inside BV limit.

19. Operation Zitadelle

Before this battle I sold Krad Infanterie (I don’t like use it) and purchased new Panther D tank. Additionally I upgraded RM towed gun to Hummel, wheeled recon to halftrack and all SS Infanterie to SS Panzergrenadiere.
The battle went rather easy after breaking first lines of Russian defense. Unfortunately I didn’t captured northeastern VH inside of BV limit. At least I got CS leader for my Flak unit and SupMan leader for one of infantries.

20. Prokhorovka

Seeing Russian tank hordes I decided to play carefully - keeping defensive positions for a long time. I lost the northern VH anyway. I started my counterattack very late and captured only Prokhorovka VH before the deadline. Obviously, I lost this scenario, but it was expected. I’m too lazy and didn’t try getting more.

21. Counterattack on the Mius

I upgraded my proto tank to Panther D and sent it this time into battle for gaining some experience. The second tank (with leader) rested. The rest of prestige was spent on OS.
I send SuperMan infantry supported by some other units, including all three big guns, with the task of VH capturing. In the meantime two other groups tried to help keeping both VHs on the riverbank - successfully.
The Russian VH was captured without a trouble two turns before the V limit. Luckily, the last chance for getting leader on my artillery unit was taken and I got Fire Discipline on it.

22. The Fourth Battle of Kharkov

It’s really annoying. I played this scenario quite well and captured all VHs inside V limit, but the battle didn’t stop. Obviously, the reason was hidden VH – partisan HQ – that appeared couple of turns later. Unfortunately in the meantime I lost some important core units that were seriously weakened during battle and extended chaotically on the wide northern area. In addition I lost one of previously controlled VHs too. Restart is necessary here, but I really don’t like wasting my time for replaying regularly finished scenarios. It should be more clearly said that player may get only TV here – nothing better.

==============================

OK, if Doc would like to see players to replay it, then I did.
Before battle I only OS some units. I deployed CS Sturmpioniere with FD 17K18 in the central two deployment hexes – with a task to help keeping Kharkov. The second group consisted recon with both remaining 17K18 supported by CS AD unit – that’s all. That group directed hidden Partisan VH. The rest of my army didn’t participate in this battle.
My plan worked fine and I got BV this time – with a nice tank prototype. I held successfully all German VHs and even didn’t try to capture northern Russian one this time – it wasn’t necessary.
I probably will sell purchased Panther D with leader and upgrade new proto to Panther G – decreasing my army value.

Result: BV (last turn) / proto: Pz IVJ

24. Battle of the hedgerows

Before the battle I upgraded StuG to JagdPanther.
It wasn’t hard scenario but that massive US artillery was very annoying. This “boccage” map isn’t my favorite too. I took easy V here, but BV looks quite possible with different initial deployment and slightly modified plan.

25. Operation Luttich

Knowing after reading Pzmaniac’s AAR that speed is most important here I played this scenario quickly and achieved BV in turn 3 easily.
I have a possibility to lower my army value, but I’d rather sell new sIG proto. I’m close to the end of campaign now and I prefer to have my 15 str. Fire Discipline gun more than some additional prestige.

Result: BV (-5 turns) / proto: sIG 38(t)M Bison

26. The Falaise Gap

I sold sIG proto and upgraded SdKfz 6/2 to Drilling.
With my strong artillery contingent I didn’t meet any troubles playing this scenario. Allied planes were very annoying but my new AD unit proved its worth and sent down one Typhoon.

27. Wacht am Rhein

At HQ I had spent all prestige on OS-ing some units and started fighting. The battle went easier than I expected and I got BV without any troubles before the limit. First I captured western VH, and then the northeastern Liege VH (that surprisingly was empty – without single enemy unit around). At the end were taken both central-eastern VHs defended by paratroopers.

Result: BV (-2 turns)

28. The Plattensee offensive

I haven’t another option than spend prestige on OS-ing.
It wasn’t difficult battle but swamps are very annoying. I hate it. BV looks impossible in such terrain.
Now I’m close to the finish line.
