Hi,

Myself and a friend played the road to ruin scenario a couple of times. We found it very unbalanced in favour of the germans, 4 Tigers & 5 Panzer 4's vs 6 shermans ended up both times with the US being smashed. Has anyoone else found this or have we missed something on the scenario.

Any ideas?

I havent, played it myself, but at first glance it seems like a though scenario for the US. The germans have more and better tanks, and in addition they have a double mortar, which is a real powerhorse. The only thing going for the US is time. Since the US have only 6 shermans, and equal strength in infanteri, I think that a nonaggressive US player is best. Ie, not rush out the sherman at all, but keep them behind and wait for the germans. Ie, have them stay behind cover and put them on op-fire mode.

A tiger may be destroied by shermans if either using combined fire (by two or best three shermans) or fire at point blank range (with a little luck a single sherman is enough to heavily damage a tiger). The problem is ofcourse the 5 panzer the german have in addition to the 4 tigers.
