Dirty Patricias: A Fun Scenario



I enjoyed playing the scenario very much. As usual 1Grantpa has given us a scenario with great gameplay requiring the player to think outside the box, to manage his or her forces, and to develop a plan that accounts for the terrain. 1Grantpa said it and you best believe: "Pay attention to the terrain on the map, and make your dispositions accordingly." I thought of deploying the Canadians in a defense in depth with kill zones in the open spaces. However, I opted to deploy my force around the VF objectives in the villages of Ottmaring, Mandorf, and Kirchdorf bei Osterhofen. I intended to block the Czechs in those three places, but leaving the Czech to believe I had not entered the villages, then maneuver the Dirty Patricia's to flank and counter-attack the Czech forces from their rear.

Now, please indulge me in a few observations.
  1. Kudos for applying Range & Filter to vehicles. I found them "spot on" and deadly effective.

  2. I agree the unit AA1 M113 Ammo is set to reinforce at turn 50 as it is not needed; although, including it in the scenario would not take away from the gameplay.

  3. I cross-attached these two units to P Hq D-Coy PPCLI: U section M113/TOW, and V platoon Leopard C1.

  4. Lastly, I created four reconnaissance troops surrounding a squadron headquarters from the Royal Canadian Dragoons (RCD) of the 4th Canada Mechanized Brigade Group (4CMBG) using cross-attach in the Editor as follows (primary source:https://www.canadiansoldiers.com/):
