I'm playing Barbarossa! campaign (operation 3 of 7, day 4 of 15 to be exact) and I'm pretty much f**ked |

First I had lots of troubles to capture most of VLs and now I cannot hold them. I lost half of my units, don't have enough points to buy new ones and Soviets keep storming me with their T-34's, KV-2's and some other heavy shit. They don't even need infantry to beat me. |

It's my first campaign and I'm having a strange feeling that I got it all wrong |

Any word of advice? Please...? |

How am I to understand the part saying: withdraw in order? Does it mean I am supposed to lose here? |

ACTUALLY, IF YOU ARE STILL ON THE START MAP ON DAY 4/5, YOU ARE DOING WELL! |

A little update on my progress: It's 8th day of this operation and I'm still holding on the start map. But it's mainly because of poor AI tactics. Yesterday I managed to hold one VL while defending it only with 3 units: my mighty 88, Panzer Mark III, and command unit of 3 men:) |

When I retreat/flee, does it mean I lost the battle? Or is it possible to score at least a minor victory while retreating/fleeing? |

How are requisition points being calculated after scoring some defeat? Do I get any in that case at all? |
vitamin wrote (View Post): |
- Are some VL more important than others? I'm just curious because AI is trying to capture one particular VL on this map and I don't know why actually? |
vitamin wrote (View Post): |
- When my opponent is calling for truce, is it because of taking heavy casualties? |
vitamin wrote (View Post): |
- And does it mean that I win if I agree for truce? |

And the last one - ArmeeGruppeSud was referring to some points e.g.:
So you only need to hold each map for 3-4 days each to win the points in the Op. What are these points exactly? And where I can find and check them? Btw, do these points decide who wins the whole campaign? |

But since it's my first campaign I don't care that much about final score. I'm just having a good time while playing (what a marvellous game it is:)) |

Just one more thing that bothers me. I really struggle every time I am to attack some villages or towns. I mean I cannot find a good method for fighting enemy who is hiding inside buildings. Could you tell me if there are some particular units that are most effective in urban combat?
ps. I already tried Flamingo but it's useless - its 50m range is not enough and has weak armor. I also thought that Pioneers would be a good pick but they are some cowards. When I want them to assault some building they just hit the ground and crawl to their previous positions as soon as enemy opens fire. |

- there're some briefings missing in this campaign. But the whole rest is fantastic:) |

only yesterday I bought that Feld Haubitze leFH-18 and it's really great). But the problem is that very limited LOS. |
