Played it twelve times now and won twice with allies 


Guess we will see what it brings. But giving the germans double the equipment is stupid imo.

PeB just now. Allies first took church fairly quick, then the west outskirts, after that there was some epic fights for the 3 center flags. and suddenly they managed to cap Wn57, leaving axis totally surrounded. Then they went for the kill and kicked us off the map.

Then the allied were just not as good as the germans.

But why double equipment? The Marder can be taken out by any Infantry, also it will flip all the time. The P III is in real just an anti-infantry tank, the Sherman should have no problem dealing with it. In Fact the Allied just have one tank for the purposes the Axis need two tanks on this map, anti-tank and anti-infantry.
It´s not the mapper fault when the allied tanker sucks.

[:| Hi]

The Marder I can be killed by a Riflenade to the turret guys, thats like infinite AT kits on that map for Allies. It may not blow it up, but it sure as hell kills the driver. I can definitely give pics if need be, I often hunt marders with riflenades

Yesterday the Allies won and I was (in the Brit team) sneaking behind to man the LeFH  .
They didn't notice me a while until I started raping them hard. Some infantry came and we had a little fight.
In the end it was a very interesting match. The Germans held the line for loooong, and suddenly , we took church outskirts,w outskirts and my squad went for the last flag. There we gave 'em hell and after a good shootout we captured it. Then WE were the ones repulsing attacks and the other dudes managed to capture PeB and.... GAME OVER

Contrary to my original beliefs, once people got used to the map layout, it flies beautifully

Sure, you don't charges across the dock at some mg position, but there are large fights, usually when trying to cap the base overlooked by the sheer bluffs coming down from the trench base (I don't know their names yet), a squad may get assaulted by a single mg gunner (courtesy of an un-nerfed mg recoil system, bless yer souls devs, bless ya!), or a sniper.

Its also nice charging up the hill, sometimes under fire and assaulting the trench - And there are countless approaches which still keep teams together and not as lonewolfs

If you get to hold the trench base, the scenery of both the beach and the town is scenic!

I cannot think of any single issue with this map as yet - And contrary to may people's argument, this map still has the German-bias we all love :-)

I hate it when Brits are too lazy or incompetent to stage a simple infantry assault without driving the Bren carriers into the flagzone where they are promptly captured and used as mobile MG positions by he Germans...

it was on 762, yea I think it was full.
About the bren carrier, some allies were really clever with the bren carrier this round. parking it some 100 meters from the Outskirts flag, providing cover fire for assaulting infs.. it felt very "real"... the way that flag is made, you cant expose yourself as defender, so the infs can safely reach the flagzone... I tried blocking the bren carrier line of sight with smokenades, but they still overran us... gg

Thanks for the suggestions, even though it's a bit early to start changing the map. It's good to have some ideas ready.

Imo it's not as easy as comparing the number of vehicles. Of all the vehicles the Sherman and PZ3 are the most straightforward. The other vehicles (like the Bren carriers and Marder) require a bit more creativity. I expect that, once the players have adapted, this will help the British. But there is always room for improvement.

Lets await a good month first

One thing I kinda wish for as the Brits is a closed top APC. Not another tank, just an APC that cant be taken out by the numerous MGs all over the map. I think this would balance out the vehicles just enough so that the allies have two vehicles that need AT kits to kill instead of just the Sherman.

Not sure about this yet, It's just something that came to mind while trying to dedicate myself to using the Bren Carrier in a supportive role.

[THeTA0123]

Adding an M3 halftrack might make things far easier for the brits.

I think it's because flags are pretty close one to another, so for germans its easy to come back fastly with a lot of support and doesn't let the time to the british to make a good defence and ready to continue the assault
