Please see link for the next battle in my TooFatLardies "29, Let's Go! Campaign". The US are probing further down the road towards Isigny when they encounter another German defensive position…

Looks like the poor G.I.'s never stood a chance. Walking straight into MG42 fire head-on is never a good idea. The thing I dislike about solo campaigns is that they have a certain "scripted inevitability" to them due to their programmed nature. |

Hi 28mm Fanatik, Yes, it was bad luck: a very unlucky 'random' event which caused the MG42 to be generated in the absolute worst place at the worst moment for the GIs!! Anyway, the 175th is about to throw another platoon in… The thing I dislike about solo campaigns is that they have a certain "scripted inevitability" to them due to their programmed nature. I am not sure I agree. This campaign, designed for head-to-head play, is just as scripted for one player as for two. I think other campaigns can throw up more truly strange occurrences when they are multi-player, but for the same reasons, are more likely to collapse. |
