Some Thoughts:

I went with the basis that Tigers would be really hard to knock out, using them on either flank to crush the Russian Hordes between the two. I did not take into account the size of the map, nor the weather (or how slow Tigers move). I had some Heavy Tanks and an 88 (the kind that can't redeploy) in the middle of the map, on a hill, overlooking the Village the at dominates the center of the map. Trees blocked a good deal of my view but i could not reposition the 88. I am not sure if it scored any kills (perhaps some infantry) and my Assault Gun had fun destroying a few homes Russian Infantry were trying to occupy.

Leaving my Halftracks/Infantry unsupported in the middle of the map and not paying enough attention to them turned out to be a mistake. However, my foe kept all of his troops close together, allowing me to capture all but 1 of the flags. It will be noted that the flag in the Village was captured by the half-track hiding in the woods, with an infantry squad hiding in a church. Had the battle continued, both of these units would have undoubtedly been lost.

Deciding to purchase Tiger tanks put me at a numerical disadvantage, but since i was more aggressive i managed to knock out several enemy tanks while only losing two of my tigers.

I do need to rethink my strategy playing as the Axis, using a combined arms tactic, and moving at a less aggressive pace to prevent major pitfalls.

I have to say I agree TC, two men in blue hats will very soon be visiting your dugout to investigate your commitment to the Party, the Motherland and Victory. Don't worry about packing...
