Race Across France
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2019 3:09 pm
Hi gents,
While playing the Race across France scenario in my hard lvl campaign, the German AI blows one of the two bridges to Verdun on the 1st turn. Now I understand this is meant to be hard mode, however, it makes it quite literally impossible to reach Verdun on turn 2.
I have played this scenario quite a few times before and this is the first instance I have seen this. I then replayed it a few times more and it the AI proceeds to do it every game.
Is this by design? if so, it makes this particular scenario nigh on impossible to get a gold star. Even without the Verdun bridge going up in smoke it makes for an incredibly tough scenario and in my opinion, one of the toughest in the game.
On a side note, is there any players out there with any ideas of how to complete a brilliant victory on this scenario on hard mode?
In hindsight, it seems not taking Lyon was a serious mistake in Operation Dragoon. I thought I could take it on the chin when the Pz. Division parked itself on Lyon on the 5th turn, although it seems that I should have restarted and ensured Lyon was in my control.
Cheers,
JT
