I don't even want to imagine what would happen on custom gameplay wow
And you wanted to do a "They have it all, while I have nothing" campaign after this one? (raises one eyebrow) Would you care to reconsider?
Glad you've stayed on this game. It's only just getting spicy.

This is a really good and accurate series if you think about it. Like if Germany was on such an aggressive push and so successful, it would be that difficult for France and Britain to bounce back. Dig your holes boys, hold the line.
Yeah, Monkey paw curl moment right there. You got what you wished, but at what cost?
I think at those two battles, if they pushed just a bit harder, maybe another heavy tank in the first battle, and a solid tank push in the second, you would have lost both. Like I said previous, this is a last legs type of scenario, and to recoup the costs, you really don't have a choice but to dig in and pray they don't attack the weaker hexes. Tanks right now seem to not do as much, and withholding the heavy tanks in the first one probably saved you, as you were basically in artillery range all the way to the command trench anyway.
For that second one, you had the right idea, using the improved firing trench as a makeshift anti-tank ditch with barbed wire and multi-layered defense, and you could have held that position, but the AI decided to throw one of your favourite tactics against you. Come to think of it, the one large push they did is also a favorite of yours. I think they're learning. From you.
Also, far as I know, grenadiers can't throw grenades unless they are on the fire step, which is kind of stupid if you think about it, but it does make sense for balance reasons. So having grenadiers in the trenches means jack squat if a tank rolls by and they're not on the step taking mg fire.
Also, i think it should also be difficult, if not impossible, for an infantry company to climb up and down that crater from the mine. Neither should tanks. If the infantry can climb, it should be with the same slowness they have when getting in trenches. They really should get that fixed, otherwise things will get messy.
Again, Keep defending. Attacking means spending money. Money that we don't have. Right now, the best thing to do is sit there and take it. Hard, I know; but it's really the only way to survive early game, until you can get the extra money and troops.
May you keep holding the line, general. On ne passe pass.
