Scenario: WIP Campaign - Gateway to Asia

[DRG]

FYI........The reason I didn't put this in with the 2017 patch was you had marked it as "WIP" and BETA

No, the reason you didn't put it in was because I posted it after the patch was released...

Scenario 02: Martynovka

Turn 1-13

The attack on MARTYNOVKA opens with a Luftwaffe strike. Divisional artillery (10,5cm) strikes the southern part of the town. Grahn (6./PzRgt 201) and Ott (7./PzRgt 201) lead the attack over the bridge which is taken basically without enemy resistance.

10.30 Uhr, radio message to Division:

“Burmeister, Brücke in meiner Hand. Wir kommen rasch vorwärts. Encountering tanks and cavalry. Light enemy mortar fire slowing down our infantry.”

Mixed groups of Panzers and mounted riflemen assault the town. Air and artillery target enemy mortar positions and all enemy armour discovered. During the fighting a gun halftrack (7.5cm) is knocked out. The Kampfgruppe suffers no other vehicle losses. Ott leading the attack on the northwestern part of MARTYNOVKA encounter two damaged T-34s. One enemy crew flee on foot while the other continues to fight from the immobile tank. Until death.

Turn 14-20

The southern Russian defences collapse. A nearly intact T-34 is captured. Then the northwestern part of the town falls. Friendly losses are light. Enemy resistance weak. Retreating

11.30 Uhr, radio message to Division:

“Feind weicht nach Westen aus. Town captured. Beutemeldung: two lightly damaged T-34s, two medium mortars, two light Pak.”

11.40 Uhr, radio message from Division:

“Anerkennung für heutigen Erfolg. Reinforcements and supplies will be arriving shortly.”

Another solid scenario. Found no problems with the units or the map – there are two places with trees being placed over roads (which is easy enough to do) but this does not impact the movement of units.

Scenario 03: North of the Terek

(With the build points I repaired all the units of the Kampfgruppe. Instead of upgrading any tanks I bought two scout teams and two AT-rifle teams with the remaining points. Yeah, I know - but in advance they will be worth their weight in gold.


Turn 1-23

The Kampfgruppe is split into three roughly equal size detachments and sent into the advance. In the north is Grahn's reinforced 6./PzRgt201 who encounter the bulk of the enemy Panzer force and do most of the work.

In the south, advancing into the thick of the wooded area is Soltmann's group with the main combat element the reinforced light tanks of Fechner's 5./PzRgt20. They sustain the heaviest casualties.

Lieher, the commander of the SPW-Kompanie, is responsible for the center. He sustains no losses.


Radio message to Division:

“Burmeister, Gebiet gesäubert! Fdl. versprengte Truppenteile vernichtet. Six tanks and three anti-tank guns destroyed. Own losses include one Pz IIIL, two Pz II, one Sdkfz 222, one 37mm Pak SPW.

No problem with the map. I played a little sloppy, all my losses happened at the end when I thought I was more or less done. There were still sizable intact Russian forces intact at the end (reduced company size with two AT-guns). Game ended on turn 22 (of 32). No Soviet counterattack at the end.

The new “do you really want to enter a rough hill slope Y/N” feature saved me twice from potentially getting bogged down tanks in the woods.

No problems with the units or the map that I could find.
