Round 1 Scenario Throne of Glory

This seemed very much like an "uphill battle" for the Axis to me. Allies can fire steep downhill while the Axis tanks seem to have difficulties to fire steep uphill (and that is without the height disadavantage of hitting something thin on the vehicle top).

The bridge glitch then did it for me.

The idea is nice, but I got the impression that the Allies have too much power compared to the Axis forces.

Can someone explain the bridge glitch?

I had one of my T34 get reversed when going under a bridge? IS this the glitch?

T34 driving under bridge:


T34 jumps onto top of bridge with full LOS from up there:

And in DrVonCool's case the T-34 broke down on top of the bridge. So the bridge to heaven took that tank straight to heaven and then it started shooting down on all the mortals below.

Which is why the scenario was not scored. I played this scenario and didn't have a problem with misbehaving tanks. Interesting battle though. Al does a great job with is mountain scenarios.

Good Hunting.

I won this one handily.  After we were told that the game would not count, I screwed around and made a nutty attack across the river with my T-34's and Valentines and lost every last tank...  I had wiped out the entire german force on the west bridge and had blocked on the east with infantry and hit and run tank support. 

The PZR III longs are more than ample enough to deal with the vals and T-34's... I think this is a good straight up battle with a nice little map that allows one to be creative and use tactics effectively.

The tactics I used as the Soviet were to march straight up to blocking positions in the woods and river crossing on both sides, leaving the large flag in the middle to a LMG and mortar spotters.  My opponent tried to send a SiG onto the ridge which my Vals took out, and my T-34's mobbed the west river crossing with infantry support and this two pronged blocking action worked exceptionally.

Cheers!

Ha, then I was affected by this glitch and didn't even know it. I was wondering why in the hell were my infantry exhausted running from the russian reinforcements spot.  I must of missed it watching the turn replay. 

I still won this one very easily though. There were a lot of dead Germans on the bridge and fords. I lost all my Vals and 2 of 3 of my T-34s. Lost 1 T-34 to the Sig and the other to 2-3 PzRs. I agree the T-34 is better in a one to one duel. But if you can get 2 to 1 duel, which is very possible in this scenario since the T-34s are outnumberd, then the T-34s are in trouble.

I love the performance of my mountain gun, he was the hero of the battle and the crew will all get medals. They bagged two PzRs trying to flank around to the train station.
