Medieval Village/Rommel 1916

[Bannon DC]

Hello all:

I posted two new battles last night to Scenario Depot.

Medieval Village:
Straight forward German assualt across a narrow front. Setting is an old town on the Polish/Ukrainian border, June 1941. AI will give you a game with either side, but best played as Germans. (You'll have to use your imagination to see the ancient fortifications... Belgian beer helps!!)


Rommel at Kurpenul (1916)
Based on the action described in Rommel's book "Attacks". Germans enter village in fog shrouded mountain valley and discover the enemy is approaching in force from the opposite side of town. Set with Russians and 1941 equipment. Was trying to get historical perspective. Best played as Germans vs. AI or head-to-head. For solo, experienced players should set Russian troop quality a little higher.


Hope you enjoy. Feedback appreciated.

one thing you can do to make 1941-era soviet fortifications is to set the editor ahead to 1943 and get su-152s, then set the time back to 1941 and make the SUs dug-in... gives the russians some nice on-board HE firepower without always having to resort to the KV2

Played the scenario and I loved it.
It was a long time ago since I lost a game to the AI,I got a draw with this one.
The AI did a nice job to try push me out of the town.
The counterattack at the end almost throw me off balance.

Good work!

Stoffel --

Which scenario? Rommel I'm guessing.

Also, I dl'ed your scenario and I just started it. Made me go back to the manual to research best way to deal with those tricky things in the ground. (don't want to spoil). I'll finish and review... but I need to retrieve my Rommel book first (lent it to friend) since I want to review the Jevzek action.


ALSO for all:

Note: I did change the German reinforcements on the Rommel at Kurpenul. I thought the Germans had too much... I did play test extensively but I did not have 3rd party input. New reinforcements are slightly reduced Company (believe I took out a squad or two) without the mortar support as indicated. Witness to my lazyness, I accidently overwrote the German overview and did not spend the time to recreate it. smile.gif

HI
Enjoyed playing your Rommel scenario. Now I understand about your forgetting to overwrite the German brief. I agree it's not necessary to have the mortars or the FO for the scenario as it would betoo easy to win against the AI. Although HTH I'm not sure.
All best
