AP79 - Rude Mood (or "VCs Make Brain Hurt")

[Neal]

Yes, if you are playing the French side in this scenario read the VCs closely. Then read them again. Then think on them for a few days. Then read them again. Then come up with an attack plan. Then re-think that plan because it's probably wrong, and scrap it. Then just YOLO it. Then get absolutely destroyed.

That's what I did.

The Allied efforts to breach the German fortified defenses known as the Hitler Line were moving slowly forward. General Juin, commanding the Free French forces in Italy, had a plan to outflank the Germans through the Esperia defile and on to Mt. Onto. The initial French assault was forcefully repulsed by anti-tank ambushes and determined defenders manning positions among the rock-strewn approaches to Esperia. General Monsabert was not deterred, however, and ordered an all-out combined-arms assault, with a battalion of African infantry attacking the town over the hills and an armored force pushing up the road.

A little reformatting of the VCs could probably help clarify them. May try this one just for the mental challenge. Also, this is scenario AP79 - not sure where the J183 came from in the thread title - the video is annotated correctly.

For the French setup, there is a small level 2 hill hex next to the graveyard : from there the French can grab one or two buildings at rather low risk.

Oops, good catch. I was processing multiple videos and must have gotten wires crossed.
