TURN 1
Here is my inital setup for the Germans.
I've split my forces.
2 Rifles and the Lmg will use the trees along the South edge of the map to mask their approach.
1 Rifle will mount it's armored transport and move quickly along the North edge.

RE: Burning Fields AAR
However things go wrong quickly on the other flank.
With the Rifle squad loaded, my halftrack starts its' move across the North edge.
The Russian reveals his 45mm AT gun.
There is a loud crack and a dull thud as my halftrack goes up in flames.
Junk modified his shot with CAPs and got some good rolls.
Luckily my Rifle squad survives and bails out unscathed.

RE: Burning Fields AAR
The Partisans fire on my Rifle nearest them and miss.
So I move this Rifle squad to engage the Partisans.
The Russians reveal their hidden Maxim Mmg and fire upon them, but also miss.

RE: Burning Fields AAR
My veteran SS Rifle squad moves adjacent to the Partisans holed up in the wooden building.
Junk expends some CAPs so his unit can fire.
The Partisans fire point blank but miss.
A lucky break for the Germans.

RE: Burning Fields AAR
The Rifle squad enters the wooden building and close assaults the Partisans.
As they were out of APs, I had to use a command action card.
I score a hit.

RE: Burning Fields AAR
I use another command action card in the close assault, but miss.
I then have to use my final 3 CAPs to fire one last time.
It succeeds and the pesky Partisans in the wooden building are eliminated.
Along the South edge of the map, my SS squads continue to advance without contact.
This is the battlefield at the end of the second turn.
Casualties:
2 Russian Irregular Rifle squads

RE: Burning Fields AAR
Hello:
Thanks to you two for doing this.
The quoted stuff is what I am still struggling with. Not the "rules" but how one unit can do so many actions through some combination of APs, CAPs, and Cards. It seems to me there should be some limit?

RE: Burning Fields AAR
There is a limit. The limit is how many Command Points and how many/what kind of cards that you have. The Command Action card allows a unit to perform one action. Usually used on a unit with no points left. Jamm used his unit's original AP to get to the point above.
Turns in CoH come down to CP and card management. Sometimes you have to guess what your opponent is doing, and if he is out of points and cards.

RE: Burning Fields AAR
Yes, the use of Command Action Points is important at certain points in a firefight.
With the cards, it's just the luck of the draw.
In this case, I just happened to have those 2 cards which helped in this circumstance.

Junk makes a hasty defense on his Rifle squad in the open terrain.
The Russian also begins to move some of his reinforcements forward.

RE: Burning Fields AAR
I dash forward with one of my rear Rifle squads to draw enemy fire.
A Russian Rifle squad reveals itself in the wheatfield and takes a shot.
The shot misses.
