The history and fate of Hpt Grim (Bubonicus vs KG Grim)

This is a chain of scenarios that I play with my friend Michael aka KG Grim. My first intention was to start some a set of tutorial-scenarios to teach him some aspects of the game at a time. However, we both liked the idea of using this story and progress of the "character", so we continued with the setting. My thought was to try this DAR-option out, it seems like a cool feature - and you can all take part of the total humiliation of me in the hands of a total noob!

The scenarios so far:
Episode 1 - Outside Obukhiv (Attack)
Episode 2 - Obukhiv (Assault)
Episode 3 - Fight for shelter (Winter defending)
Episode 4 - Spring 42 (Meeting engagement)
Episode 5 - Kharkov (not decided)
Episode 6 - Stalingrad (Assault)
...this is as far as we´ve planned and I made maps.

So far its pretty even in the battles, but the last map Fight for shelter he beat me. So now, gloves are off, and I´m out to put Grim and Steiner down!

We are now playing Episode 4 - and Hauptman Grim and his trusted Leutnant Steiner is advancing into this little town. He have just been "promoted" with some new stats, right now he is veteran with the stats:

• Command +2
• Combat +1
• Morale +2
• Stealth +1

And his trusted collegue Steiner, who have been following him since France - a veteran:

• Command +1
• Combat +2
• Morale +1
• Stealth +2

In this battle I´m introducing some Italians, both tanks and some rifleunits, all under command of the charismatic Binotti. In this scenario, I´ve prepared some units, and have given him a bonus of 10%. At the start of the battle we import all characters and the extra italians and head for the QB-screen. Unrestricted ME with 1500 points.

I had this at start: 400p
3 x Platoons SMGSMG - Submachine Gun [ENG]

4 x BA10 - 45mm /L46

I bought this: 1500p all regulars unless stated
2 x platoons T34
2 x 75mm IGIG - Infantriegeschütz [GER]

IG - Infantry Gun [ENG]


1 x 75 mm AT-gun

Germans:

1 x 47 mm AT-gun
1 x Tankette

I have noooo idea what he might come up with - but so far he have done a pretty, pretty good job with those PzIII. So I think he´ll stick with them, and maybe a StugStuG - Sturmgeschütz [GER]
or two...
