I am currently playing the 21st Panzer. The Battle Group has a few fixed-guns of the 88 variety which I expected would be good. However, I have struggled to employ them effectively. Anything less than a 100% shot seems to miss and after that they are easily suppressed. I am open to suggestion on where to deploy and how and when to use them. And, I expected if they scored a hit they would almost certainly knock out most targets. But getting a lot partial suppressions....

I think one of the hardest things to manage in The Troop is reconnaissance. When I first started playing I would run a recon unit down a road, watch it explode on the enemy's turn, shrug my shoulders and move on. Soon I was not even selecting recon specific units during force selection as I considered them a waste of points. However, I started playing at the harder difficulty level. That level gives the enemy more units. To counter this I started bringing in more units as reserves when I was going to be...

I am going to state my understanding of marking targets by HQ tanks so please, anyone jump in and clarify or correct me on this. 1) An enemy unit that was not revealed by movement and is spotted or attacks receives an ambush bonus for one turn. That means that any attack against it will have a -20% modifier in addition to other modifiers to damage done to the unit by ALL units attacking it. 2) A friendly HQ tank can, fire at the target and be subjected to the modifier or can instead aim at the target a...

I have been playing the 21st Panzer against a US Armored in my latest BG campaign. The difficulty level is harder. 1) It is my understanding the harder level does not change modifiers. It is harder by giving the enemy more forces. Am I correct in that understanding? Many of the battles so far the 21st Panzer have been defensive. A key component of my defense has been the expectation that I could take out some of the MANY Sherman tanks coming my way with grenades using Accurate Aim at the most vulne...

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3676545529 Fast Eddie has begun a new Battle Group series of missions. We changed the parameters from the harder difficulty level back to default but we raised the enemy's morale to its maximum of plus 4. Our thinking is that this would require us to focus more on achieving objectives rather than getting into a slugfest to get a good score. With morale equal it would be more likely Fast Eddie would cause losses that would result in capitulation b...
