In battle one, I lost one PZIV, the rest were recovered. I think I might have lost a squad or two. Battle two, no losses. Battle three I forgot to check to see if I could buy replacements.

As you describe your first battle was quite like it happened IRL.
The second too.

Do not expect such easy battles any more .

Is there any further feedback on this?

I haven't played any games for a while. I will be out of town this weekend too.

i'm planning to start this over with the new patch Artur.
Thanks!

szartur,
I finished the first battle in this campaign using the new patch. It wasn't any easier this time around! Went to turn 43 and I ended with a Marginal victory. Your AT guns were well hidden and well positioned.
When I finally scored the victory, I think I might have had only 1 or 2 tanks left with no damage. I lost quite a few, and quite a few more had either track damage, or engine damage.
Thanks!

The second engagement proceeded more according to orders. As the 3rd Co. 503 Bn pressed forward we surprised a shipment of AT guns moving toward the front. I spread my three plattoons out and ordered them to advance. After about 15 minutes of moving forward and shooting as AT guns exposed their positions, I thought I had silenced the guns. I gave the order to the entire company to engage and move forward. A couple of unseen ATs opened up, but were soon silenced by my Tigers.
As one of my Tigers started down the track, he was suprised by two squads of Infantry making a suicidal close assault. They damaged his engine, but soon the rest of the Tigers were supporting and the enemy infantry was was taken prisoner. A legendary victory for the 3rd Company, Abt. 503.
We'll rest and regroup in the village and head out first thing in the morning.

RE: SPzAbt 503 seeks volunteers.
There was a request for the campaign files, so I've packed them into a JSMGE zip file. If you don't use JSGME you can unzip the zipfile and see where the files go. I assume Artur won't mind, but if he does, or if he has a later version hopefully he'll post here.

Thanks

This is turning out to be a "Hard Morning" . AT guns opened up on the Tigers as the left Mezotere. The Tigers stopped to engage, and then the mortars started. These Tigers don't have to worry too much about 81mm mortars, but This platoon starts buttoning up as the shells get closer.

If by any means possible, play with the version above. at the end of the testing I will have a look at the issues.

I'm still having "A Hard Morning". I've only been able to get a few turns each day. I'm about Turn 17. I'm enjoying this battle. it has something for everyone in my force to do.
I've lost 2 Pz Grndr squads and 2 HTs to mortar fire, and 2 others routing for last several turns but finally rallied. A ZIS took out one Pz IVs. Then I was hit in my right flank and I have 2 more Pz Grndr Squads routing.
I haven't siezed any of the objectives, but I'm approaching the first farmstead now.

Another PzIV is taken out as I cleared the first farmstead NE of Mezotur. It's been a hard morning for the Pz IVs.

RE: SPzAbt 503 seeks volunteers.
I just played "Ivan Strikes Back"...Got a "Legendary Victory"....Didnt lose any forces on this one. I had SPz Abt 503/III/I & II take out like 15 tanks by themselves...Was awesome to give them some of their own medicine for a change. Past couple battles had taken a beating with my tanks. Mostly just motor damage and such...but, a few were total write offs. Wanted to post a screenshot, but it didnt come out.

Unfortunately, while PCO runs well on my machine otherwise, all of the 503 scenarios (and only those scenarios) crash at the point where it is loading Units (during loading, in other words).
I would love to play these scenarios from this very interesting period of the war! Do you have a solution by any chance?
