Re: campaign scenario setup help
Here is the last part of the battle the gebirgsjaeger and fallschirmjaeger taking the train station north of the city.
The paratroops there didnt resist at all after beeing bombarded by several turns with rockets and regular artillery of all calibers.
Unfortunatly also the whole trainstation was in ruins but the tracks should be ready again in a few days.
losses were high at 93 men WIA 6 MIA and 35 KIA but more then 600 russian soldiers were captured and the city was taken.
Most dangerous was the artillery the russians aswell as our own unfortunatly. Then came the flame weapons that were almot all eaten by scouting engineers cripplingmy engineer force. Thats why a zug of Leutnant schwarzs "lucky" platoon will be retrained as engineeers.
Many troops distinguished themselves as bunkerbusters since there was also quite a lot of opportunity for that.
Big thx to the air support which destroyed at east half of the t34 dug in behind the trenches. the artilllery tried to destroy some later but couldnt dent their armor so the infantry had to throw grenades at them until the crew got scared and gave up. This way 2 t 34 were captured in running condition and will be added to our tank group.
Also a platoon of hungarian infantry joined the ranks that had lost contact to their unit. For the time beeing they will form a recon company together with the slovaks and fallschirmjaeger as organizational unit. For now their main mission will be rearguard though.
Hauser is hoping for a little rest since almost all his platoonshave taken losses and need refit lets see if he gets it.
