You should give your Panzerschreck teams a 'armor target arc' to prevent them from engaging enemy infantry and giving away their position. Also, giving some of your infantry teams a 'target arc' is a great way to set up ambushes.
1:06:30 Your panzershreck team will keep attacking the tank because it's still considered 'live', as in while the crew have bailed out, if they can be coaxed back into the tank later it will still be functional (minus whatever damage or crew lost due to previous strikes). A tank is only 'dead' when the icon disappears. Also your opponent made a series of errors here in not exploiting the Brits greatest strength, indirect fire. British formations have a LOT of mortars, both 2 inch and 3 inch, both of which can be used to great effect in hedgerow country in a direct fire role. Also Crocodiles have plenty of flame ammo, he should absolutely be using 'recon by fire' to clear suspected enemy positions, ideally by sending some ~expendables~ , er, scouts to draw fire, then hose down the area with flame - rinse and repeat.
Good AAR. Looking forward for more =) I am a dogshit strategist but I think it would have been beneficial on this map to keep one or two Trucks as QRF Battletaxis. Plus they come with a bunch of Ammo and I believe some Panzerfausts aswell =)
Thanks! I'm going to make more videos, but it takes some time to play each game so I don't know how frequently I'll be able to get them done. One day I'll try and challenge Usually Hapless :)
@@valdusaurelian m.Herm too, combat mission channels should stick together, its not like they upload so much content to be competition...we are starving here
i realised at your very start that your setup (STUG at outermost left position, mines on an inward leading road would lead to desaster (namely your STUG getting blown up by your own mines). Ande than exactly that happened
Panzerschreck is written with a "c" between s and h. "sch" in German is the equivalent of "sh" in English (also pronounced the same). Also it needs a "ck" at the end. It has nothing to do with the green ogre "Shrek". Schreck in German means "scare". So "Tank Scare".
Great video, i don't even play the game, might pick it up if it get or chearper or a new modern enigne, besides that u got my sub love watching it (commentary is gold)
They generally go on sale for 50%ish off during most Steam events, still a bit expensive but worth it. There is a new engine being worked on apparently, but it's probably years away.
What kind of settings did u have on for this game? The balance of forces seems very equal, possibly tipping into a generally more powerful German force, being crack. Not sure if the Brit player stood much of a chance against that force in the defence
It was a probe so he would have had 50% more points than I did, but he brought offmap artillery + target reference points and more armour. The crocodiles in particular are fairly points heavy.
The platoon HQs are with their platoons but the company and battalion HQs are all together in a command post. I was too spread out to keep the company HQ in close contact with all the platoon HQs so they'd be using radios anyway. I decided to put them all together to allow them to talk amongst themselves when they are sharing info from company to company. I have no idea if that makes a difference or not but it seemed like a decent idea.
@@valdusaurelian Ok thanks for the reply. I don't think it makes a difference. You could keep them in support for when platoon HQ's get killed or break.
Panzer-Shrek? That’s an armoured green ogre! Correct spelling is “Panzerschreck” (armored’s vehicle fright) Historical games/novels/movies should get easily google-able names of persons, places and things correct! Failing to do so is a very insulting laziness!
The second you showed the stug position and the mine it was so clear that this stug is gonna go right in that mine...it was the only way to move
A new channel putting out CM PvP AARs!? Instant subscribe from me! Well done with this video.
Thanks!
Same! I'd love to see some Shock Force 2 or black sea pvp
Such a good watch! You really deliver that info in clear and concise manner. Subbed and hope to see more from you.
Just found this channel - thanks for showcasing CM AARs.
That British arty barrage on the right objective landed a bit short and was largely wasted.

Well that was a really good game to watch. I hope there will be more to come. Great Video!
Awesome vid, really enjoyed this!
Nicely done video... concise yet you show plenty of the detail... you and your opponent had a real good one going... play 'em again! Sub'd
Thanks! Taki is the one who got me into the Combat Mission series and many of my recent games have been against him, so there will be more :)
Nice AAR, good discription of game action.
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Good job on the TacVic! CM gives us a lot to learn.
Thank you soo much. I recommend to use for immersion CMQS sound mod. it will bring lots of joy. !! Good AAR

Nice to see a new PVP channel for Combat Mission. Enjoy the narration keep it up!
Really nicely done Batrep. Thank you for sharing. Great commentary. And that STuG was pure gold! :)
Great video, you should consider playing pvp vs usually happles to gain some more viewers :D There is not many combat mission channels recently.

Yeah as soon as you showed the mine position blocking the only exit route for your stug, ik something bad would come of that lol

I will make sure to double check my spelling next time :)

@@valdusaurelian makes sense, great content keep it coming ❤️
Omg, the british player did not use the reinforcements.
Brings a single tank
Looses it to his own mines
Still a good vid though
Yeaaaah, not my best moment :)
Much better than bringing a whole tank company and losing them all to your own mines!
why are your officers not with your troops?

I have a CMFB Map ME for us if your interested...
whats that? fresh channel with commentary on this game that only 5 people play? grab a sub man, i await for more
5 people? There's at least a dozen of us!
@@valdusaurelian more of a metaphore than actual count, in any way, compared to anything else there is just too few good combat mission youtubers
Battle for Normandy Utah Beach Tournament: 89 players
@@maxpayne1806 how many youtubers with commentary?
