Tuchola Forest Strategies and Tactics Options

Note: Some of this information will change over time as things change during the beta testing phase. But it's still close enough to final so we can start discussing tactics and strategy.

Here's the map. Each one links to a 1600x1200 version.


Base Assault map

[ScrapyardBob]

I've done similar to Hammatime on G3 as well.

I started my attack towards G3 as part of a larger force that ran into trouble while assaulting up the road. I went to ground in the North V2 Launch Site area and was overlooked by the Germans. The Germans then formed up and moved out along the North Road.

Rather then engage (way outnumbered and no place to retreat to), I communicated in team chat about the assault force. Then I started moving from tree to tree and from rock to rock along the north wall until I got up behind the defensive positions. Finally, I reached the large rock near the minefield on Hill 23 (west of G3).

From there, I was able to belly up and drop arty on the G3 base. Every 2 minutes, the Germans would come scurrying towards G3 looking for attackers. Sure enough, they'd glance around, then drive away.

Once the base was cracked open, I waited on teammates to arrive. They arrived in a jeep and planted. I stayed in my hiding spot, ready to ambush any German reinforcements on the western approach. With 35-40 sec left on the clock, I dropped my arty on the base again and killed someone who was slipping in using the southeast approach to G3.

...

Note: We've seen the same sort of approach used on Russian #3 on the Barbarossa server. German infantry will hide in the houses near R3 and drop arty on it to crack it open.
