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

I saw a little game chat tonight talking about how the map definitely rewards teamwork and how lone-wolf players may not be as effective. The regulars on the map are definitely starting to learn that lesson.

Another funny comment was "Those KV1s are hunting in packs!". I'd guess that coming over the hill into a trio of KV1s was a rude surprise for somebody.

Germans will need to relearn how to defend G1 in the next beta release. The G3 base and G2 base were also weakened slightly.

The early tank blitz needs to be spotted and disrupted by a small squad of players. We managed that tonight by doing the following:

- One player went and got on the SE Bridge pak45 position. As the Germans rolled through the S Forest intersection, the pak45 opened fire which caused them to scatter and dig in.

- A jeep that was headed towards the front via the Farm area turned and came south into the South Forest. The infantry dismounted *behind* the German armor column and proceeded to destroy tanks left and right.

So a handful of infantry stopped 5-8 german players who could've rolled straight into Russian #1 and the rest of the Russian bases.
