Try moving a bit north of the middle VP at dawn and then pulling well back at dusk, poking forward as needed during the night to keep the VP. In the daylight the battle tends to be less intense. The Germans tend to hit with mortars and artillery or close-air-support at dusk, and then assault with massed tanks later at night.You will sometimes also have to help your ever-hapless CPU ally cover/recover his VPs and territory points, especially the TP at the NE corner of the map. You will occasionally have to cover the left VP, which lies near your base, as the Germans may seize or bomb it to nullify your control.Remember the goal is to keep control of enough points that your side’s point total (including your lame CPU ally) doesn’t go to zero.
Once you make it through the first night you should be OK. You will of course be producing T-34s (your most cost-effective armor option), and the occasional engineer or conscript squad, as quickly as you can. At this point you just do your best to retake/hold your two key points (upper left TP and middle VP), while chasing down (use a T-70) the German squads that get behind your lines. The other conscript squad can grab the abandoned Zis gun that lies about 50m SE of the middle VP, and bring it to cover that VP. The engineer squad can go to the repair station, mid-map, to grab the Zis-gun there and bring it to cover that upper left TP. Assuming you’re starting with the (default) left-side base, send the KV-1 to the middle VP, and the two T-70s, the Zis gun, and a conscript squad to the upper left territory point. Mother Russia just didn’t have the wherewithal to stop the marauding Hun!īut things quickly get better-in this mission, at least.Īt the start, you possess a KV-1 and a couple of T-70s, plus two conscript squads, a Zis gun, and an engineer squad.
The first ten minutes or so of this mission give you a hint of the frustration and anxiety the Russians must have felt during the German invasion in 1941. Theater of War Mission Pack: Operation Barbarossa Fight to “plug the gaps” in an epic four-day tank battle in Ukraine, summer 1941.
