Alt History Campaign, 44-46 (sw) SS KG Griffon

[PanzerBob]

Aug44: The White Uprising against the Stalinists has all but halted the Red Army advance on the Eastern Front. Now resources are now finally being freed up for a more vigorous defence of the Reich in the West.

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif[/img][img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif[/img]I'm being given the command of a fairly well equiped SS Heavy Kampfgruppe, Orbat as follows:

2x Recce Groups
1Kp(-) 12 X Panther A's Late Production
1Kp(-) 10 X Tiger I's Late Production
4 X Pz Grenadier Platoons
Attached-
4 x PzJgr 38
4 x PzJgr IV 75L48
6 x SPAAA Units
2 x 1,7cm Btty
2 x 1,5cm Rct Btty
1 2,8cm Rct Btty
3 x AAA for Rear Ech Def

Our tasking sees us advancing into lost ground, this will be the first time since being driven from the Aliied Beach Head. This could lead to a major counterattack.

The Abwehr is convinced a British Panzer Force is moving to secure the same 5 bridges we've been assigned to seize and hold. Div has made available for our advance the following:

3 x 122mm Btty
2 x 1,5cm Btty
a few Recce MC's

Plus we will have two new wonder weapons joining us, they are called "Hubz" for short. I read during my hospital stay they will be useful for spotting the enemy.

Obj A- is two small bridges in this small vaillage here in the North of our sector.

Obj B- is this 150m bridge in the middle of our sector

Obj C- is two small bridges in this small vaillage here in the South of our sector.

A Tiger heavy force with a Pz Gren Plt will race for Obj A.
A Panther heavy force with a Pz Gren Plt will race for Obj B.
2 x Pz Gren Plts with attached Panzers and Jagdpanzers will race for Obj C.

Advance will commence 0800hrs after the prep fire on possible enemy routes of advance.

Good Hunting, Men
