Ramon plays CC LXXII Traveler's Unternehmen Barbarossa (OG) at 75%

[Ramon]

Here we go again!
This time it will be Campaign Challenge LXXII:
Traveler's Unternehmen Barbarossa with Waffenkammer 4.02
A PG2 mode campaign that is a bit weird to say the least (I will elaborate on this later).

As always, my own rules but respecting the CC norms:
1.- Played at 75% but in this case I think there is too much prestige available. I will not abuse of it, promise
2.-What I cannot promise is to save/reload.. you know what my sins are
3- No least than Decisive Victory!

And the regular post format; short commentary, screenshot and full AAR.
Any comment is welcome!
Let's the battle begins!

This scenario gives you an idea on the way this campaign is designed, and I love it!
The VH are disperse and far away. The units are as good as yours (most), well entrenched (that make experienced units very difficult to eliminate, TB are the only equipment that have lasting suppression and you need some Engineering equipment too ) and more experienced than you core units (most of them, at least until you create high experience core). You don't have fancy equipment that can wipe out your enemies (with some exceptions).
But some units are quite weird, like this Fortification with a reach of 4 and.... transport????

Anyway in this scenario you have some experienced aux. units you can use to help your inexperienced core. Even so your turns are counted, if you want a BV you need to do it well.

Looking forward to reading your reports! They are always interesting. Have fun!

Int this scenario you have another interesting peculiarity of this campaign. VH (and several units)that appear after some turns. In this case in the North East.
Unless you have peek into the Suit you will have to repeat the scenario for sure.
By the way. Most of the VH are also SH and the looks like the AI has prestige to buy some units. It has a like for the Recon so don't count in the surprise factor.
As I said you have to find a solution for each scenario: in some cases it implies to use paratroopers or divide your army or hold a position before going full attack
In this scenario I use two paratroopers and three Jager( that are cheap,engineer and mountain movement). I also bought two mobile AD I plan to reach a couple of leader that can move and fire. If not I'm going to have a problem in the air
