Default Re: [WIP] Campaign - Arctic Struggle

Second battle - night action for the hills.

I went for an attack on a narrow frontage with the companies in echelon, assuming the enemy had no indirect fire assets. The ski companies can negotiate the terrain at about twice the speed of my non ski company.

I estimated the enemy to be two companies of Gebirgsjäger and one company worth of artillerymen infantristisch eingesetzt and wanted to avoid engaging the bulk of the enemy force. The actual German defence was significantly weaker.

The map is good, I found no errors, but as before, it is hard to judge LOS until basically drawing fire. I took a few more losses than I'd care to admit.

The GebJ "Counterattack-platoon" deployed to the lower left counterattacks when most VHs are taken. Other German units do not seem to counterattack (I'm guessing this was by design).
