I recently purchased Halls of Montezuma, and have been having a bit
of difficulty winning battles. I have the following questions for
those of you who have played it.
1) Other than Mexico City, which other scenarios would you rank as
easy, which as hardest?
2) How do you disengage a battered regiment? I have tried both
reserve and delay, and neither seems to help much to get trashed
batallions off of the front lines.
3) I suppose the answer to (2) will solve this, but what is the best
way to conserve the French regiments in Belleau Wood? I have played
this a few times, and the French ALWAYS get totally crushed. I let
the computer play both sides, and there was an identical result (in
the end, the Germans won by about 2000 points). Is this scenario
stacked so hopelessly in favor of the Germans or are both the computer
and I missing something in our strategy for the Allies? The manual
alleges that "You can often stop the Germans advancing beyond the Wood
until the US troops arrive" - has anyone stopped the Germans????
I would appreciate any comments. Please E-mail them to me, and I will
forward/post them if there is any interest expressed.
Thanks in advance,
