Default My COH war story.

This is my most recent game, so it is still fresh in my mind. The map was the 8 Player Montriges (or however you spell it) region, and I was playing as the British. My allies where a normal computer British, a Normal computer American and a hard computer American. We where vs 2 Normal Whermact computers and 1 hard Whermact, and 1 normal Panzer Elite computer.

I started off with the usual stuff-build a Rifle squad, then a Lieutenant, then another rifle squad and a Bren carrier. I moved my starting riflemen section to capture the nearby strategic point.
Having not played this map for a while, I looked around for a bit. An easily defended compound was directly in front of me, and to my left was a trio of munitions points, again easily defendable.
My computer allies and I began to capture all the points up to the railway line that ran through the middle of the map. Upon reaching this point, we ran into some Germans. So I pulled my squad back and put it in a building.
By this time, all my men had been produced, so I sent them to capture the munitions. It took some time, though my American allies helped by getting there before me (!). I built a mortar pit and a trench to protect this area, thinking about the impending attack here. I also parked my field support truck here, too.
By this time, we had really ran into trouble at the centre. German MG42s and Motorbikes had our infantry pinned down, so I got my Bren carrier, began the Vickers MG upgrade, plonked a section in, and set off.
By the time it got to the compound, the upgrade had finished. I used a rifle section as a diversion, though a flaw in my plan (the Bren carrier could not drive through the area I told it to) they suffered many losses (four out of five died). Though I found a different route, flanked the MG42s and killed most of the crew. I also forced the motorbike to retreat.
I retreated the depleted squad back to the HQ, and garrisoned two sections in what looked like a small train station. One of them was a sharpshooter section (gives you the ability to kill one man with one shot, though you can’t use it in buildings), and the other had rifle grenades. I also built a mortar pit. Several infantry squads attacked, but my men made short work of them.
END OF PART ONE
