Mission 5 : Montegbourg (red ball express)

Is it me or am I the only one having problems with this mission. It is without a doubt the hardest mission I’ve played in any game.

Everything was going well with this game until I hit this mission. The first objective to rescue Dog Company is easy enough but from then on, it’s a nightmare. I’ve spent 5 hours on this mission and I‘m no further.

Tactically, once I’ve rescued Dog Company I have retreated back to HQ and set up a defensive position. Then the ten panzer tanks roll in. There not too much of a problem because I can use the infantry to throw sticky bombs at them as well as my Sherman’s having a blast at them to.

Soon or later though, I have to start moving out to capture fuel and ammo points as ammo runs dry but leaving camp leaves them at risk and I’ve lost camp a few times

I know I can’t afford to loose any of my 3 tanks, but they take such hit and the engineers don’t have time to repair them on field.

Is their way of increasing the riffle squads? I only seem to be able to produce engineers? How do I get more, each time these guys leave camp, I have to watch their numbers and pull them back quickly so can build their numbers up before loosing them.

I just don’t have the man power to push forward and to defend what I have and Axis armies are re-spawning from all over the place. The lack of resources is stopping me progressing yet there seems to be no way of moving forward or calling for support. Some extra riffle squads would help.

I’m giving one more session on this and I’ll call it a day.

Any ideas?
