4 of my battles are now downloadable from The Scenario Depot web site.
CARINHALL: a fictional (& most unlikely) scenario in which an American column tries to capture Goring at his country estate NE of Berlin.
OBERSALZBERG: Hitler & his buddies are spending Christmas Eve at the Berghof. The festivities are interrupted by Polish Airborne. Fictional, needless to say.
OPERATION FELIX: Semi-historical, in that the Germans planned this assault on Gibraltar but it never took place. I believe I captured the feel of 'the Rock'.
PEENEMUNDE: Also fictional. The Russians overran this rocket centre in May 45, but here I have the Poles prempting the Russians by showing up in April. Von Braun had left in February, but in this scenario he stays behind to risk capture.
Pending downloadability is:
WESTERPLATTE-LIGHT: Which is my version of the opening shots of the war. I call it 'light' because there's already a better, bigger, and more accurate version on the site created by a gentleman who knows much more about the battle than I do. But my version, being smaller, is a kind of short, schematic quick battle variation which I think is kind of fun, if not as credible.
I don't own a zip program, but I downloaded a temporary one which coincidently will last as long as my current vacation. Over the next two weeks I will attempt to upload at least 20 to 30 of my scenarios.
You will note many of my scenarios are very schematic or compressed compared to the 'actual' topography. This is because my PC has limited memory and it's video card is only 2 MB, so I tend to make most of my scenarios as small as possible.
My scenarios are all pretty much beta versions, so despite my effort to make them as interesting and challenging as possible they may fall short in any one of a hundred ways.
Feel free to alter and improve them any way you see fit.
I may or may not be competent as a scenario creator, but I had loads of fun doing it, and I hope my versions at least inspire you guys to produce better ones!
Cheers!
