Hi gents,
I am trying to set this up as the CPVA player and am totally confounded.....to me it looks like they have very little chance of victory. It seems that because of W7.42 INFANTRY PLATOON MOVEMENT (IPM) movement restrictions their defense will be even more static than normal in a night scenario. I suspect that at best very few CPVA units will make it into the fight.
For example if I have a group setup ready to IPM BUT the only unit that can see an enemy is the participating leader I can foresee that perhaps ONLY his hex will be allowed to participate in the IPM. All others will still be under no move counters and thus must stay put.
Although I think the attack may largely be funneled along the roads (maybe) and that may be the case due to the vehicles, it looks to me like there is just enough infantry so that NO vehicles need exit and there seems to be enough time that the 4 tanks alone could avoid the roads and exit for the win. I realize the NVR is greater when observing moving vehicles but there don't seem to be a great deal of large LOS areas on the board.
I certainly don't say any of this is certain...especially without playing the scenario yet but it does appear that way to me on first analysis. I am wondering if I am overlooking some big advantage the CPVA has on defense at night. Any advice?
Thanks,
John
