Nuova partita con Scourge of War GCM\HITS
Ieri abbiamo fatto una nuova partita con il GCM\HITS a Scourge; come al solito è stata molto combattuta piena di colpi di scena e, fortunatamente per noi, vittoriosa. I movimenti li potete vedere dal replay, ma sommarizzando come l'altra volta, abbiamo vinto a seguito di un contrattacco concentrico nord-sud dopo aver subito la pressione nemica.
Detto ciò, sono abbastanza critico con l'impostazione data dal comandante (lo stesso dell'altra volta); ancora una volta ha fatto dei grandi movimenti con lo scopo di riunire le truppe direttamente nel punto di probabile scontro e ha dato per scontato che le truppe nemiche arrivassero da nord-ovest (invece come vedete erano a sud-ovest). La divisione Palmer, che partiva da sud-est, ha fatto un giro tremendo per andare a nord-est dell'obbiettivo, con il risultato che, non solo si è praticamente frantumata, andando un po' qua e un po' là (grazie a cielo una delle brigate è arrivata a sud), ma è arrivato con mezz'ora di ritardo, e quindi abbiamo combattuto con un inferiorità di una divisione per un bel po'.
Originariamente io dovevo andare sull'obbiettivo e difenderlo, poi quando ormai ero arrivato, mi ha detto di andare a nord dell'obbiettivo, perchè aveva visto truppe nemiche ed il terreno era buono, mi ha anche chiesto di andare ad esplorare personalmente il terreno e proprio mentre mi faceva allontanare le truppe nemiche comparivano sull'obbiettivo che originariamente avrei dovuto difendere, e invece le mie truppe stavano andando a nord. Ho dovuto fare una conversione delle brigate in mezzo a boschi, coprendo non solo a sud, per evitare di essere tagliato fuori dalla divisione di KGSoldier che avanzava da sud e doveva passare un torrente per raggiungere l'obbiettivo, ma anche il centro e centro-nord. Perchè il nostro comandante, aveva mandato una brigata isolata e tenere l'obbiettivo centrale, che adesso era sotto grossa-pressione, ed insisteva che mandassi una brigata a nord per tenere l'obbiettivo, mentre lui teneva il grosso dell'artiglieria ben distante. Ovviamente nel caos di questo spiegamento assurdo, mi sono dissanguato anche perchè il bosco non mi permetteva di vedere da fermo le due ali della mia formazione, ma grazie al cielo ho retto abbastanza da supportare l'attacco di KGsoldier e attendere l'arrivo di Palmer a nord. Il nemico poi si è usurato durante la sua avanzata nel bosco quando il mio centro è crollato, anche perchè preso alle spalle dalla brigata che all'inizio teneva l'obbiettivo centrale.
Insomma anche questa volta ci è andata di culo.

AAR della battaglia di sabato a Scourge
http://www.sowmp.com/gcm/battles/battle/13817
Ecco due aar dai due punti di vista:
Confederato
The Confederacy’s return grudge match to reclaim Cumberland Gap got off to a rocky start with our force spread between several compass points. Undaunted, our fearless leader, Gen. Byrd, determined to make lemonade from the lemons he’d been served by an inordinate dispersion of Rebel divisions. He quickly decided to leave cohesion to the realm of the enemy – our plan was to boldly attack from opposite ends of the Gap! The risk was great: if the Yanks became aware of our divergent routes of approach early on, they would certainly, given their experienced leadership, make short work of one or more of our elements and smash us in detail.
No wonder then that Gen. Byrd expressed consternation when I brought my corps up to the woods near Harris (just south & east of the objectives). My desire to be in position for a quick move on the southern-most objective (#2) created a greater risk of early discovery than he was willing to take on. So we relocated perhaps a half-mile more southeast to await the pre-appointed jump-off. When the time was right, we would, as the plan unfolded, attack from southeast-to-northwest and (hopefully) smash into the defending enemy simultaneously with Gen’s, Sspoom, Soldier & Mitra coming from the west, north and northeast, respectively. The timing of all this, though not perfect, was pretty good.
My corps consisted of Swinder’s division and my own, with one brigade under the direct command of BoldRover, in his first-ever battlefield command. My initial plan was for my brigade to lead an attack on the southern-most objective, in a road march with BoldRover behind me and Swinder bringing up the rear. In this way, my brigade would form the left wing of the attack with BR in the center and Swinder taking on the right flank. As we were getting underway, Gen. Byrd arrived to announce his wish that we drive instead for the center objective. I understood his thinking to be that this would put us directly opposite and behind the attack being staged by Gen’s. Soldier and Sspoom for greatest impact, and that the southern objective would be an easy conquest once this was accomplished. In any event, this adjustment necessitated a reordering of our approach march: Swinder took the lead and our left flank while my division with BoldRover would take the right/north. Through some confusion or perhaps an unexpected positioning of the enemy, BoldRover’s brigade went in on the left making first contact with the enemy near the southern objective. Swinder, now in the center, pressed on down the road per arrangement and engaged the enemy between the 2 objectives. BoldRover, after taking some damage, did manage to disengage and relocate closer to my brigade which helped maintain division integrity. My brigade, with guns in tow and Gen. Mitra’s division on my right, came to the edge of the woods to an incredible sight. Before us loomed both the objective and the enemy, hotly engaged with Soldier’s force across the way and almost directly opposite. Accurate perception was a rare commodity in this battle and my first thought was that the enemy force was deployed to defend primarily against me, when, in fact, I was looking into the rear of several enemy regiments. Urged on by Gen. Byrd’s subtle “attack, attack, attack!” direction, I passed on the orders to Swinder (who was also keeping an eye on our left flank and the enemy to the south) and ordered my own brigade to mount an all-out assault in double-line. Onward we went, carrying the objective and directly into the teeth of a line of infantry and substantial Union battery well-trained in the use of canister. My boys took fretful losses, but with Mitra pressing on my right, Swinder on my left, BoldRover coming up behind and Soldier/Sspoom attacking from the opposite direction, the enemy was in a nearly impossible situation and the outcome was not long in doubt.
As the fighting in the central clearing wound down, Gen. Byrd came by to say that his biggest fear now was for an enemy counter-attack from the south and southwest. I knew that Gen. Swinder was looking toward that direction and covering our flank. However, I didn’t fully appreciate how heavily engaged and how challenging that situation was until after the fighting near the middle objective died down and I brought what was left of my division back to form a line at the objective. There was Swinder, fighting it out on our left toward the south and east with what appeared to be fresh Yankees. Fortunately, there was little opportunity to ponder further the dangers that lay in that direction -- the enemy withdrew from the field a few moments later.
In retrospect, it is nearly impossible to separate the roles played by luck and planning, but I believe we benefited from both. Coordinating an attack from opposite directions in an area so large must rank as among the most difficult to pull off – Gen. Byrd managed this to great result.
Given our wide dispersion and always-present intervening enemy, losses had to have been frightful among our couriers. I can’t but wonder how many sad letters must now be written to mothers of our dedicated messengers after this battle at Cumberland Gap.
Nordista
As the union started in the SW corner of the map, we decided to approach the objective from two directions. Hays and Stefan would approach from the south, while Robinson, Jones and Scott would deploy west of the objective. The plan was to stay in the wood line that bordered the objective and force the rebs to attack over the open ground. Since our lines of deployment were on high ground, we had excellent positions for our artillery. If the enemy really wanted the objective, it was going to be expensive.
As the divisions began to move out, I rode to a point east of the objective to try to catch sight of the enemy approaching from that direction. Right on queue, a rebel division marched past, heading for the objective. I rode back and informed the division commanders that the enemy was approaching. By the time I got back, all the divisions were filing into position. This was the high watermark for the union forces that day.
Robinson sent me a message that Scott was not following directions and in fact not responding at all. He was somewhere far to the north of our line. I also sent him several messages and finally his command seemed to turn and march in our general direction.
Within a short time, a rebel division appeared to the east of us. It did not move forward, which made me think that it was presenting itself as a trophy to try to make us advance off our good ground and chase it into a prepared ambush. I had word that the rebels finally replaced their former hapless leader with one that was known for such ungentlemanly behavior.
Next Robinson sent word that an enemy division was approaching us from the west. This was an opportunity. The enemy had split his forces. I felt that the bulk of his forces were east of us and this other force would be only one or at best two divisions. I sent word for Scott, who was approaching our line to move back west, engage that division and send word as to its size. Once the details were established I would send a 2nd and possibly 3rd division to overwhelm that force. Unfortunately, Scott continued marching past our line towards the waiting rebel division to the east with a force of two regiments. I was surprised that the enemy didn't immediately attack, but I guess he was as shocked as I at this sight.
Soon firing could be heard to our rear and several routed union guns rush past our line headed for points east. Robinson rode west and soon reported that the enemy division was attacking Scott's guns and a brigade that he had left behind.
I ordered Robinson and Jones to each use a brigade to throw back that force. To the east, more and more enemy showed up and began to advance across the open ground. I sent a message to Hays to immediately advance and hopefully distract the enemy and stop him from attacking Jones' and Robinson's weakened line.
Stefan stepped off smartly and engaged the southern most rebel division. One of Hay's brigades was very slow to deploy forward and seemed almost afraid to engage. I learned after the battle that this brigade commander was a conscript who was at heart a coward. Hay's would have had my full support if he had executed the man on the field.
At this point, the battle grew desperate. Robinson was beset by three rebel divisions attacking from three directions. Jones was forced to use his entire division to stop that division to the west. The center of our line consisted only of artillery. Amazingly, the guns stopped the attack on our center and appeared to have driven off the enemy in that sector. Hays and Stefan were pushing hard on the enemy left and it appeared that the enemy was shifting some troops south to address this situation. Jones had stopped that division in the west. While Robinson seemed to be extracting what was left of his force and moving them south toward our artillery. For a brief moment, I thought we might be able to hold.
I rode north and saw the enemy had stopped their advance. I thought that perhaps we had damaged them to the extent that they were unable to continue. However, as I watched, I saw that they had merely stopped to reorganize their forces.
Five minutes later they began advancing again and a gray tidal wave washed over Robinson's men and the artillery to the north. The battle was over.
This was a very good battle on a great map. I am sure that the results of the next contest will be more to the liking of the north. Many thanks to Ron for organizing this fight.

Quinta battaglia con il GCM\HITS a Scourge
Ieri quinta battaglia, in 10 stavolta. C'erano anche giocatori nuovi alla modalità HITS che hanno ricevuto il comando di una brigata per prenderci la mano.
Battaglia decisamente strana, come potete vedere dalla posizione iniziale delle truppe confederate. Il nostro comandante ha attuato un piano decisamente ambizioso di colpire da dietro le truppe nemiche e come potete vedere è andato a buon fine oltre le nostre aspettative. Detto questo devo però constatare che alla fine è stata solo questione di fortuna e errate manovre nemiche: praticamente le nostre truppe sono rimaste isolate l'una dall'altra per un tempo infinito e le truppe di accerchiamento hanno rischiato di essere distrutte separatamente, se solo in nemici, che avevano sicuramente visto l'ufficiale in ricognizione non fossero stati dei boccali e non avessero proseguito verso est senza preoccuparsi del mondo attorno a loro. Insomma la manovra è stata una classica concentrazione di truppe sul campo di battaglia e come sempre in questi casi, funziona solo per gli errori nemici non perchè sia una manovra corretta.

Terza battaglia con il GCM mod in HITS
Terzo test ieri sera usando il GCM mod in modalità HITS; stavolta la gestione ordini era con la normale modalità usata in HITS (corrieri a tutti i livelli) ma non era permesso dare ordini diretti ai reggimenti, lasciando il comando diretto all'AI di brigata. Decisamente mi trovo più a mio agio in questo modo. Come potete vedere dal video la manovra è stata grandiosa da una parte e dall'altra anche se il nostro fianco destro era troppo debole e alla fine ha ceduto: decisamente era troppo avanzato ed è stato messo troppo peso all'ala sinistra, cosa non necessaria perchè eravamo ben messi su quel fianco. Anche due o tre batterie che sarebbero state utilissime per la difesa sono state sprecate tenendole troppo distanti.
Comunque splendida battaglia: la sensazione di cercare la posizione giusta per le proprie batterie, pianificare i movimenti sul campo, quel misto di sicurezze e incertezze è ineguagliabile.

Secondo battaglia con il GCM\HITS
Sabato abbiamo giocato una seconda battaglia a Scourge con il GCM mod in modalità HITS; abbiamo testato una modalità sperimentale di gestione dei corrieri, ma non l'ho trovata adatta. Stanno proponendo per la prossima volta una modalità in cui è proibito dare ordini ai reggimenti da parte del comandante di divisione.

Scourge of War: Battaglia GCM con le regole HITS: 14 giocatori in battaglia
Ieri sera abbiamo fatto una battaglia con il mod GCM applicando però le regole HITS. Si è trattato di un esperimento, ma ne è venuta fuori una battaglia straordinaria, con 14 giocatori presenti, 7 per parte. Dato la natura random del piazzamento iniziale con il GCM e la presenza di obbiettivi, tutti i giocatori i movimenti erano nella piena nebbia di guerra. Alla fine noi confederati siamo riusciti ad accerchiare e distruggere il fianco sinistro nemico, mentre alla nostra sinistra due brigate resistevano eroicamente. E' difficile con un replay descrivere la sensazione che il gioco ti da dal terreno, ma ti senti davvero un comandante sul campo.
Nel replay trovate due parti, la prima vi fa vedere l'azione sulla mappa 2d, la seconda sulla 3d.

Replay della battaglia con il GCM
Come promesso ecco il replay della battaglia a Scourge of War con il GCM fatta ieri sera. Ricordo che il replay in Scourge mostra le unità come blocchi, insomma si tratta di un replay funzionale alla ricostruzione del flusso dello scontro più che alla coreografia.

Garnier mod per Scourge of War
Prima di andare avanti nella descrizione di Scourge of War, vorrei presentare il principale mod per il gioco, il Garnier mod che non solo migliora le caratteristiche del gioco ma permette anche di giocare una campagna permanente online.
Il link del sito è questo: http://www.sowmp.com/gcm ; ci si deve iscrivere e si crea una propria divisione per schieramento: i dati delle battaglie vengono salvati e riportati online, così che le battaglie successive tengono conto delle perdite. Naturalmente il mod si può usare anche senza giocare per forza la campagna permanente.
Qui ci sono le istruzioni su come installare il mod: http://www.sowmp.com/gcm/home/download
