Default Will the Germans ever counter attack this time around?

The German tactic in WW2 was to immediately CA when they lost ground will this happen? Sorry if this has been covered already.

I hope. There weren't enough times where you defended in the last games.

Seriously defending something can be very intense especially when you are losing people and running out of ammo. Set a scenario where you are behind the trigger of a .30 cal with soldiers piling up in front of you trying to take back a position. I have read of things like this happening many of times with troops.

I liked the level in road to hill 30 were you go rescue that guy then come back and defend the house from waves of germans

That mission was a little too easy when you defended the farm against the waves of counter attacks.

They always came from the same area and never made you displace.

Each time one would come over the mound, if your squads were positioned correctly, they would pick them off before they even made it to cover.

yea now that i think of it was pretty easy. Even know you don't fight much hill 30 is a sweet defense spot. The part before you have to get the tanks as baker is awesome. Everyone is fighting hard and then guys start getting picked off

Yea, I thought that was SO cool. Prior to that I had never seen a scenario close to it in a WW2 game.

That was one of the most EPIC battles I've seen in any game

Overall I think that was my favorite mission.

Tom and Jerry involved counter attacks.

Usually when the Germans did counter attack you had some good weapon, like their would be an MG42 easily placed to your disposal.

Yeah, honestly, I'd like to try to get flanked every once in a while.
