Granted, the light dust lowers those odds, but all I had to show for it was a pair of broken MA. The game just wasn't going my way. The radio broke after 2 failed contact attempts and then a red chit draw. So... pretty much everything that could do any damage to the tanks was failing. <br /><br />I'm not sure how keeping the matilda's moving actually helps. There's only about 40 DVP of germans on the board, so if the Germans DO just drive off the board, if the Aussies take a tank or two in that process, they still need to eliminate just about every german infantry unit AND the guns to win (before accounting for any aussie losses). <br /><br />Perhaps I'm not seeing it (and the OBA in harassing fire may have changed the board enough to change my perspective), but I'd take germans in this, hands down.Phulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10585901791642638203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373825048329524549.post-29734538273832431682011-03-16T12:29:06.410-05:002011-03-16T12:29:06.410-05:00The new CH Africa Corp mods are getting good revie...The new CH Africa Corp mods are getting good reviews (more for fun than balance.I really need to get back into the desert sometime soon.
