Gold Beach assault BG. Note that the composition of this BG, and others, will change dramatically in the coming day or two.

|
|
For this assault, mustered lots of full infantry teams and 4 tanks--expending all my BG points. The poor Canadians got plastered. This was a battle where luck was with the Germans and I helped then out by not being mindful of mines. The enemy stayed well hidden, and one MG and a sniper in the chateau did a lot of damage before I finally silenced them. An AT gun at the north end of the map took out one tank, and it took a concentrated barrage of naval arty and tank fire to take out the position. A hidden AT team (the only one available in this static German BG), hidden in the gun pit got two tanks, including an AVRE. This is unusual, and shows that small teams, sitting tight in ambush have the greatest possibility of success. Unlike full infantry teams, these teams do not exhibit the tank assault behavior that is my current major gripe with LSA engine.
It doesn't take much to pin down infantry and make them seek cover. Few heroes here, and the tanks have to lead the way clearing out strongpoints, as there is not always time to wait for infantry in these 15 minute battles.

After taking out Monty's one AT gun (knew this static German BG only had one), I had a tank move fast to take the Tailleville exit. This would at least give my BG the opportunity to move off the beach in the afternoon. The tank started to divert around the hedge as the AI pathfinding knew there were mines, Yet I purposefully rerouted tank waypoints along the road and paid the price. Lesson to self: be vigilant about mines in GJS-LSA--especially on the beach maps! There are some surprises.

I was able to strike a truce with Monty for the remaining couple of minutes. The Germans are hurt here, have not AT guns, and only a handful of units remaining. The Juno beach map should easily fall in the afternoon turn, but for now, I walk away with a severely bloodied nose.

Can engineers remove mines in the rereleases?
I have only had it happen once or twice in CC5, and the was only one mine disabled if I remember correctly..

Haven't really tested it, since have always relied on Crabs.

The 8th Brigade/3rd Cdn Infantry Div fares much better on Courselles-sur-Mer, two AT guns defeated (including one hidden in a building) and no Allied tank losses:

They do, but their path is narrow. They explode mines and no harm comes to them. Overall it's good to follow closely behind these tanks--if you are another tank. There is more to know about mines in LSA--they are handled a little differently in the code.

Thanks for the test AAR.
Keep it coming. As much as i like CC5, so many mistakes were made.
Bugs like BGs not losing there guns and disarming mines being basically noneffective and pointless..
It would be good to try the Re Release. I allso want to try the Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog, but the graphics don't seem to have as much atmosphere.
And the battle scenario looks uninspiring. They should choose another theater of war.

the last battle of the morning turn takes place at Arromanches/le Hamel. This is another bloody encounter, but I make fair progress. Mortars extract a toll, but not accurate enough to be too concerned about.
