Just got my "desert equine" handed to me, AGAIN.....

[Sindawe]

I've been playing Brothers In Arms for the past week, and I'm stuck.  Its D-Day +2, I and my squads have been tasked with clearing part of St. Come-du-Mont in Normandy.  What I face is as follows:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                     (German Mortor Team)

                                                                                    (MG-42)




             Open Field, some cover                                 *                    *
                                                                                          Back      *               Hedgerow
                                                                                           Alley                      ----------------------
                                                                                   *
                                                                                             

                                                                           Shed


-----------------------------------------------------------*                     *  Out Building
                            Fence

                                                                               My Squad


If we go right for cover from the MG-42, we get mortors dropped on us and die.  If we go left, fire and maneuver in the field using the cover, we get mortors dropped on us, cut up by the MG-42 and die.  Same with rushing the alley.  ARRRGGHHH!!!!!

Ideas on how to take out Gerry?

[wasrjoe]

Can you run up the the hedge, chuck nades and run back to cover behind the building or somesuch? Hopefully taking out the 42.

Call close air or artillery fire.

How far does that fence run back? Can you flank silently right until you're too close for mortar fire?

Do you have range for an organized snipe, i.e. every team member picks off a different soldier all at once?

[Jamisjockey]

Call close air or artillery fire.

If its an option on that game, you need some sort of supression to soften the defense up.  That or someone else suggested flanking around the fence to the left.  How far left can you go?

[RevDisk]

Send one or preferably two guys left as bait/diversion.  Send your main body to the hedgerow on the right, if you can actually get to Jerries that way.  When the Jerries start pounding on the guys on the left, attack.  If possible, have a sniper or heavy gunner pound on the MG while your force advances.

You can't attack from the right, reverse the strategy.

[Sindawe]

No close artillery or air support, even though I can see the P-51s flying about.  I'll try the righ/left spit and see how that works out.
