New battle October of 1941
Delay somewhere near Vyazma.
Visibility is 60 and a total of 45 turns. Map is same as before, 80x120. AI is not tank heavy but with Russians, that still means a helluva swarm.
Key terrain features.
2x E-W road, 1 in the North and 1 nearer the bottom half of the map.
1x N-S road, that intersects with both E-W road.
This means I can have quick and fast access to reinforce any portion of my force using the road network.
Very flat terrain, and with the long LOS, it means long weapon systems will dominate (HMGs and ATGs)
Some buildings along the roads will provide hard cover for defending force.
Support units
In consideration of the above. I decided to bring along the following support units.
X0- Air Recon
Y0- Munitions dump
Z0- 3.7cm AA Platoon
AA0- PzJgr team
AB0- SdKfz 10/5 PaK 5cm (Portees with 5cm PaK 38s)
AC0- 5cm PaK 38 ATGs with halftrack support
I think there's very good manuvreability with my AT weapons. The portees have a speed of 19, while the halftracks have speed of 18.
Here's an overview of their deployment.
