I'd like to start a discussion on FB CG2 and see if there is a viable Russian strategy.
Here is the skeleton of a sample Axis setup in CG2 for FB. The Axis purchased a Vannay coy in reserve and a Mk4 section. Assume full coys and 7s rolled for leadership (thus the Hungarians have a 9-1 and 8-1 as their best leaders)
I used German guns in the picture for the Hungarian 81 Mtrs and 40L AA guns since I was too lazy to dig out my Hungarian ordnance.
Assume the rest of the Axis forces setup accordingly to support the onboard forces. Q36L1 has a 9-1/2 247/2 HMG and is complete fortified. It is 13-16 hexes away from pretty much all Russian positions so the German HMGs will fire at full strength and the Russian ones at half strength. L29L2 has the 75L AT and is completely fortified. The Pak40 has a dominant position and is well placed to support the Mk4s. All Mk4s are in stone buildings. The Mk4s are going to be very tough to deal with. A26L2 has a 8-1/HMG and is ready to lay fire into A36 so the Russians don't have any viable rally points. A26L2 is level 3 compared to A36, so A34 will produce only 1 blind hex.
How would you attack this defense if you're the Russians,? Assume 1 infantry coy of some sort was purchased with the initial 10 pts and that you didn't know what the Axis has purchased.
It becomes harder if the Axis HIPs the Mk4s using some of their 50 FPP to start.
