Posted: Fri May 04, 2007 5:41 pm Post subject: Those Matildas
were driving me crazy, so tough to kill with my puny Italian army!
I just did the SP "Italians invade Egypt" campaign, and the Matildas made mince meat out of me... .
Slow attrition warfare, and a lot (A LOT, hundreds and hundreds ) of mortar rounds and barrages took them out, most often just damaging them. If only noise could kill...
I just remembered the Libyan big caliber gun however, can that do the trick?
all my front line Hussar units do not have Matildas except for my day 2 reinforcements -- one unit has Matildas.
I have to ask: what's with the italian AT guns? That 47/32 canonne is virtually impossible to destroy -- I had 2 teams of 3in mortars and a team of FO observers raining shell after shell and could only kill 2 of 4 crew members. This is a common occurance on any map so the guns are just working my allied recce units over.
I basically hide all my Daimlers and Humbers or send them on suicide runs to grab far-off VPs.
My 2 historical (at that front) indestructible Mathilda's were destroyed by M13's as soon as they showed their faces. My Daimlers are the ones destroying the enemy armor with their 2pdr's.
