Order of Battle:

Phase 1
- airforce was busy everywhere
- east: a lone rcn grabbing Flags
- west: auxes pulled back, with most units getting out of enemy spotting (AI units start without entrenchment, i wanted to prevent them chasing auxes). Some later helped either the Monstertank or the abn inf. 2x aux cavalry sneaked by enemy spotting, with 1 monitoring the southwestern VHs, the other the southcentral VH. 2x abn inf were dropped in the middle of the Pampa to gather XP
- center: i kamikazed 3 units (2x PSW and the Pz II) to get past the AT gun in the north. The battlegroup (minus the Bridge which i left at a VH) quickly got down to the first turn. Some units split off and monitored the eastern road, others the western road, the rest (aty) supported the
collaboration example west+center: (core) bomber suppressed enemy inf, (aux) inf pushed the target closer to the Monstertank's route
Phase 2
- western central: basically just sneaking into the back of enemy defense lines
- eastern central: enemy units had gathered on east side of the hills, making it necessary to send the tank over here. Phase 2 was rather about patience while getting into position. Overall easy (5x aty + 3x bomber + 6x spotter (4 rcn 2 ftr)), in fact with ca 9 turns to spare and reconnaissance i considered it so easy that i kamikazed air units into enemy Flak for their own XP gain
Phase 3 was mopping up the last resistance. The Phase 3 arrow from the west is the bought rcn to grab the last minor Flag. As said earlier Posts this is the second run, i don't remember the exact XP of the Monstertank from the first run - 750-something or so. I was slower this time (in the first attempt i ended in turn 16, this time i needed all 19 turns)
Winning by killing all units - yep, i sacrificed 60pp for 1 kill

Pz IV D vs Pz III H considerations:
- IV has +3 Soft Attack, most enemies (so far) were Soft Targets
- III has +3 each Initiative, Ground Defense, Ammo
As for the Soft Targets, they can be prepared via attacks by core - and assuming Overstrength on the Monstertank, a 15/10 Pz IV doesn't hit the "i overrun a 10 Strength unit" mark, at least not consistently, and definitively not once the targets grow Entrenchment.
In this regard, both tank models are equal in the long run.
Initiative enhences a units Effective Attack. Not as much as an actual Hard/Soft/etc attack stat, but it comes close enough (please note this
is dependent on Class Combat Type - i.e. an AD attacking air units has little use for Ini - but back to Overrunning).
Example, a KV-2 with 20 Soft Attack and 4 Initiative isn't much stronger during Overruns, than a Pz IV with 10 SA and 8 Ini.
Lower Ini also means worse Effective Defense - again comparing KV-2 and Pz IV, the KV has more GD, but with its lower Ini is about as "good" as a PZ IV on the defense.
Ground Defense means, an enemy with high Hard Attack (AT guns, T-34, KV) is less of a danger for the Monstertank. It also makes enemy aty less dangerous (during Support Fire mode).
Ammo means naturally, more Overruning without resupplying (yep, i ran out of Ammo in 2 unfortunate moments at Brest-Litousk, with the second out of Ammo case being a direct result of the first, where the tank had to reload near 2 enemies).
Imho, the Pz III H is the more efficient Overruning machine - your mileage may vary.
greetings generals and welcome to:
Because colours of handdrawn maps can make it difficult to use a consistent set of indicators for the same stuff (i.e. on map X green is clearly visible, on map Y not), i will use Tiled Map View for screenshots.
- seriously, not only Panzergrau but also grey has become depressing (i guess i played and started too many german campaigns 
)
, you're scaring me!
war started the moment you tried to scare me
