Mobile Defense

[Der Kuenstler]

I see from game results posted at Blitz that it is at least possible to win the op "Mobile Defense" as the Germans - but I never have. Seems impossible against a human. People I've contacted at Blitz who have reported winning it as the Germans won't talk about it.

I would like to play this Op again as German vs a human in a NON-LADDER game to try some new ideas to win it. Any takers can contact me at dkblitzer(at)gmail.com. (I may not play out the whole op - will surrender to you when I see I'm whipped...lol)

never mind - got an opponent elsewhere...

I played it about a year ago as Germans and only got a Draw despite butchering nearly all the Russki armour for relatively few losses of my own.
I was fully expecting a major vic at least, but was beaten by the rules (my own fault I should have studied them more).
Basically he crawled a platoon of infantry to my map edge and the program apparently awarded him a big points bonus for doing it because it was classed as a 'breakthrough'..

Apparently an advance op like this has totally different rules - from what I've read it doesn't matter how much stuff you lose or the other guy loses - the main factor is preventing him from getting to the end of the map.
