CC#25 - Millerblitz+ (from Darek's PG2 archives)

Post by panzerdarek » 2022-02-09 10:42, Wednesday

OK, I noted that I have still some old unpublished AARs in spare, so probably in this round I will be able to clear that stock. Unfortunately, my CC#6 report is missed for some reason (maybe it is stored on one of my old computers ...).

Darek’s CC#25 at 75
Millerblitz+ (Craig Miller's camp updated by Pzmaniac) played with BaseKorp 4000 efile and special PG2 2.10BK exe - completed in May'2005

1. Madrid

This very well known battle went smoothly usual way. I’ve got mandatory BV with 3 turns spared. Unfortunately I wasn’t awarded with decent prototype - as Lobo’s big gun for example – and stayed only with modest SPAD unit.
I need some time to be accustomed to all of those walking guns etc.

I’m back on track. All the battles are well known that I will focus my possible comments mainly on BK e-file and new patch issues.

2. Ciechanow

Upgraded: Pz IIA > Pz 38(t)A
Purchased: Pz IID + Pz 38(t)A + 15 sFH37[Truck 3t]

Result: BV (-2 turns) / Proto: 251/2 Mortar

3. Suomussalmi

Upgraded: 2x Infenterie > Waffen SS, PSW 222 > PSW 231/8
Purchased: 2x MG Squad (Truck)

Result: BV (-3 turns) / Proto: none

MG Squad with decent SA and support fire option is now quite interesting unit. Both of mine performed well in their debut. The same with RM self-propelled mortar. Usually range-2 guns are useless, but now with possibility to move and fire, and with good half-track movement, it’s impressive. I want more of them.
I saw one strange thing here – Russian 41 Infantry units – when it’s still 1939 in Suomussalmi. Compatibility between BK and AK (SSI) isn’t ideal, I think. I will look for next inaccuracy issues then.

4. Lillehamer

Upgraded: all infantry transports.
Purchased: 251/2 Mortar.

Result: BV (-1 turn) / Proto: none

5. Sedan

Sold: MG Squad, 15 sFH37.
Purchased: PSW-231/8, SdKfz9, 2x StuG IIIB, 10.5 leFH18, Me-110C.

Result: BV (last turn) / Proto: 251/9 Stummel.

I sold one MG for SdKfz9 and decided to replace 15sFH by cheaper and more reliable 10leFH.
The battle for air-superiority went unusual way here. My single AD unit worked as a softener, when MG Squad, SdKfz9 AT and Me-110 killed one plane each.

6. Race to Dunkirk

Upgraded: None.
Purchased: Pzgrenadiere, Me-110C, Me-109E.

Result: TV (deliberated)

I choose shorter Blitz! path.

7. Pursuit to Tobruk

Upgraded: all tanks > 2x Pz IVE + Pz IIIH, both 10,5 artillery transports, 251/2 Mortar > 251/9 Stummel.
Purchased: None.

Result: V.

Unusually, I missed BV here this time. I have tried to mechanize most of my units, but still Puma’s toys have worse movement and lower fuel load than AK. That makes harder to keep inside BV limit, especially in difficult terrain.

Gaining all those lousy protos I decided again to spend all resources available in my bank, almost 3500 $, on artillery contingent. Now it looks really serious even without rail gun, I hope.
Time to explore the unknown (I played Blitzkrieg! only once so far and don’t remember too many details of that run).

16. Viipuri 1942

Upgraded: None.
Purchased: JgdPz 38 (during scenario).

Result: BV (-1 turn)

I lost one of my experienced SdKfz 9 exposing it in the front line and without proper AD cover. I immediately purchased brand new JgdPz 38 as a replacement during the battle. Despite that stupid loss of experienced unit I found this battle rather easy.

17. Winter Storm

Upgraded: Stummel > Wurfrahmen.
Purchased: None.

Result: BV (-6 turns) / Proto: 5.0 FlaK41 Truck

That was extremely easy round for my forces (standard SSI scenario) – resting time before the hell of Africa. I have been rewarded with another “impressive” prototype (3rd SPAD so far).

18. Tunisia Counterattack

Sold: SdKfz 6/2.
Upgraded: 3x Pz IV > VK3002DB.
Purchased: VK3002DB (during scenario).

Result: BV (-1 turn) / Proto: None

This battle went smoothly – at least my AD contingent has gained some experience for the more crucial battles in the future. Now I have a bunch of virtual VK tanks.

19. Northwest Africa

Upgraded: None.
Purchased: None.

Result: V

It wasn’t very difficult scenario, but things went slowly in sand. In addition I lost next two core units – PSW 231 recon and Waffen SS.
At least I have gathered some money and must consider couple of interesting options at HQ. For example I take into account downgrading one of 17K18 with Aggressive Maneuver leader to the newest toy that have appeared recently – 12.8cm PzJgr. That could make it a real tank buster with HA=32, R=3 and MO=5.

20. Zitadelle

Upgraded: 2x StuG IIIB > Brummbar, 17cm K18 > PzJg 12.8cm.
Purchased: Wurfrahmen and 17cm K18.

Result: BV (-2 turn) / Proto: None

I have downgraded my Aggr Man 17K18 gun to PzJg 12,8cm and OS it maximally to 15, as well as some AD guns. This newest toy performed well pulverizing every Russian tank that came in shooting range. I hope it will be enough for those late war beasts.

21. Novgorod 1943

Upgraded: Pzgrenadiere and Waffen SS > 2x 43 Pzgrenadiere, Sturmpioniere > Assault Pioniere.
Purchased: None.

Result: TV

Before the battle I spent some resources on serious upgrades of infantry contingent. I hope it won’t waste of money.
Unfortunately I distributed my forces wrongly and got stuck in eastern area without necessary assault units, when things in remaining parts of map went quickly. I’m not sure about BV, but regular V was easily possible here with better planning. Anyway, I’m too lazy to replay this battle and take my TV humbly.

22. Leningrad 1943

Upgraded: 4 ATs > SdKfz 251/23.
Purchased: None.

Result: BV (last turn) / Proto: None

Finally legendary 251/23 appeared. I have upgraded immediately all my tank-busters, excepting assault guns’ department.
I finished city fighting just on time, mainly thanks to my Wurfrahmen. They are excellent for “jump & hit & run” tactic applying and to deal with heavily entrenched soft targets.

25. St. Lo Counterattack

Upgraded: VK3002DB > King Tiger.
Purchased: None.

Result: V

26. Cherbourg

Upgraded: 2x Fw-190A3 > Me-163.
Purchased: None.

Result: V

I tried it twice with different setups. My first idea with fourth King Tiger was quickly abandoned under hard fire of enemy planes. I decided to spend money on my fighters instead and it was surely good move – both new Me-163 were very efficient against strong AI planes thanks to they RM and shooting from distance abilities.
Next thing I have noticed here – the 251/23 AT (set as naval targets) is tough against ground attacks but very vulnerable to naval bombardment. I tried to keep them away of US Navy sight when possible but two units were badly hurt anyway.
Looks like my army value finally has reached the cap and very low after-scenario prestige hasn’t provided interesting upgrade options. I can only look at the toyshop window and dream about next King Tiger or even small Sturmtiger. Perhaps I must consider some rearmament possibilities.

27. Seelow Heights Counterattack

Sold: VK3002 DB, 2x 90/53 Portee, SdKfz 6/2.
Upgraded: VK3002 DB > King Tiger, 2x Brummbar > 2x PSW 234/4, SdKfz 7/1 & 5.0 FlaK41 Truck > 2x Grille 8.8 FlaK41.

Result: V

I did some changes in my army composition. One tank w/o leader and three AD units were sold. After that I upgraded last VK tank to King Tiger and Brummbars to cheaper 234/4 AT (I read that they are tough). Three remaining AD units are now free core and may be upgraded/OSed without hitting the cap.
Battle went easy but I started my counterattack to late and missed BV by single turn.

Result: BV (last turn) / Proto: None.

I lost another Pz IC recon during the last battle. Excepting that lose all things went smoothly – much easier that I had expected.
Finally done – yet another very long challenge for me. Please try to arrange something shorter in the future. Perhaps I’d participate if I found some free time, playing mood and consider campaign passable for my liking.

Some final thoughts on playing with BK efile and with using new patch:

All those new attributes, especially R & S, are not distributed fairly enough, IMO. The German side is clearly privileged. In addition Germany has some specially treated units as 251/23 (naval target) or 234/4 AT (air target) that are much harder to destroy.
By giving RE attributes to some ATY units real killers were created. For example, with 2 Wurfrahmen attached to your battle group you may take every VH defended by highly entrenched infantry easily – just from march. Some time ago it was rarely possible with RM leader since ATY with engineer ability wasn’t very common in efiles.
Me-163 with range-2 and R attribute rules the sky. At 15 str. It needs frequently just one shot to kill 12 str. P-80 jet fighter from distance without single strength point loosing. It was Wunderwaffe rather in theory than in practice and looks too good for me.
Anyway, all above mentioned were nice to use for a player and I didn’t reject to do that.

All recent BK improvements made this campaign much easier comparing to standard AK (that looks now a little obsolete). All but one – to be honest. Special movement types make some units less effective than usually. It’s interesting feature – but requires having separate issue of patch dedicated to play with BK – which may be sometimes difficult to follow. I even couldn’t imagine using separate patches for every efile.

Counting OS value against the cap makes things more difficult and you must OS units very carefully now. I don’t like this feature much as a player – but accept. From other side I noticed one good thing – selling a unit you don’t loose money spent on OS.

Obviously, notes written above in 2005 may be not relevant any more, when playing with OG. I left them unchanged as they were in original post on JP's Panzers to picture my feelings when CC#25 was played.
