Few thoughts....
It was a great evening, I enjoyed it and would do it again....and again....
Vehicles
Both sides balanced. Tiger is appropriate and should be limited, it's main gun is a great advantage.
Map
Great for the task as it was meant to be street battles. Aircraft had trouble spotting, vehicles ambushed. Probably reality.
Objectives
Having played it now I think the Germans are at a disadvantage due to the placement of the objectives. The objectives south of the river are too far way for the Axis to consider given the time it would take to get there whereas once north of the river the Allies don't have far to travel to capture the town ones. Allies placing a tank covering the river bridges could maintain the two objectives there and also prevent Axis trips south of the river. I think they had 3 easier objectives...the 2 south of the river and the Western Approaches due to travel distance and time.
Pre match briefing
Excellent. All things covered.
Gameplay
Definitely consider turning off outside view, this gives a good advantage to those using it. Now both teams know what to expect, we need a level playing field.
Comms
Didn't work especially well for Parts as I think that the setup we agreed on ie. tactical talk only, went out of the window very quickly. For this to work we can't resort to usual Dogz banter. Put this in with the tactics and we made life very difficult for ourselves. As command tank, Part's definitely needs an extra crew member as gunner.
Tactics
As with any plan, it usually fails on first contact. The match was no exception and the fact that it didn't work for us isn't down to Parts' intentions. I would love to have seen pairs working together but it didn't happen. We made life very difficult for ourselves as soon as some Dogz started to self deploy...I did it after a while when it was time for a respawn as I could see we didn't have any objectives under control and the time was ticking away, hence my 2 attempts at the Western Approaches - although travel time here was a serious disadvantage. Did we have too many aircraft? Did they have less aircraft and boosted tank numbers?
Keep the comments coming...it can only help
