campaign scenario setup help

[valo2000]

The paras and the regular army troops have different commanders no chance for KG Hausers commander to change the drop zones of course. it will be interesting to see how good they are able to coordinate their efforts.

[valo2000]

this is the situation starting turn 1:

1st Kompanie andthe slovaks will move into the city the most important target. Oberleutnant schwarz and hie 3 replacement sections will be reserve.

The gebirgsjaeger will support the para landing on the hill the croatians will be reserve.

the bulgarians are alone on the southern flank they will support the few paras landing there. once on the hill it will be maaybe ncessary to advance more since the terrain is not easy to hold and there might be artillery fire.

The objectives far to the east will be tken by sneaking along the beach if possible bythe slovaks and the armored car platoon.

the tank platoon the apc and the armored car platoon are all one vehicle short there will be noresupplies until this batlle is won so we have to look to capture some cw equipment other then guns....

After all paradrops are done the center hill is secured. the PAWs are getting inposition to take out some matildas that have been spotted far away.

most enemy AD has been destroyed by artillery and machinegun fire only one gun remains in the southern part of the battelfield.

The slovaks and first company are entering the harbour town enganging in house to house fighting with some greek infantry. So far things go smooth since we have the city surrrounded from all sides and there are only few dead spots for the enemy to hide in.

the gebirgsjaegers have reached the top of the center hill and are now looking for a new mission maybe they will advance on the easternmost hills were 2 3 inch mortars have been spotted.

the bulgarians are clearing the western hillside of the southern hill that seems to be defended by no more then a greek infatry platoon.

The british reeinforcments are arriving contnously from the west and we try to hold them back with artillery and mg fire. they are taking heavy losses but are still advancing partially covered by the smoke that was dropped to cover the paratroopers landing.

Apart from the 2 matildas spotted things seem to be under control its just a matter of time until this area is secured.

[valo2000]

the british reeinforcments never had a chance to reach any of their objectives. they were destroyed on the road by axis airpower and artillery.

Many trucks and even one matilda tank were captured after it was immobilised by artillery and the crew dismounted. this makes it possible to bring the apc platoon back to strength as well as the tank platoon that now consists of a p2,3,38 an A10 and a matilda 2.

Also one of the Fallschirmjaegerplatoons stays in the KG since the company command was lost while the glider carrying it crashed.

After the succesful airborne operation, the Allies are beginning to evacuate the island. While most forces stream towards the ports in the south, some retreat into the mountains to make their stand there.

[valo2000]

oh no sounds like a painful battle ahead. KG Hauser is the lucky bunch that was choosen to keep the forces dug in in the mountains busy and if possible force them to surrender by kinetic action.

In this Battle they are reinforced by a platoon of paratroopers.

[valo2000]

as they advance along the sothern coast of crete in order to intercept the anzac and greek forces trying to flee the island KG Hauser men also observe some groups of the enemy moving into position on the hills and mountains. The gebirgsajeger,croats and the fallschirmjaeger are dispatched to deal with them while the slovaks bulgarians and first company advance further along the coast.

the weather is good and air support is avaible in the form of 4 stuka divebombers. Enemy artillery and AD hasnt been scouted out yet so we dont know how much resistance we face.

the last battle hasnt seen much artillery so there might still be a number of guns avaible to the enemy.

The terrain is difficult so it might not be possible to occupy all the high ground in short time.more important is the captureof the harbour and the coastal road before the allies can escape.
