campaign scenario setup help

[Ts4EVER]

Nice to see you are back. I got so bored I made two scenarios in advance

Anyway:

After several uncoordinated counter attacks, the Russian units in our sector retreated into the local marshes. Your Kampfgruppe is tasked with securing the road through these swamps, cutting apart the enemy pocket. The Russian forces are reported to be a chaotic assortment of conscripts and surviving tank brigade forces.
To help you navigate the swampy terrain some cavalry was assigned to your unit.

So we are tasked to continue the advance through some swamplands.

The enemy seems to be retreating but we always have to be on the lookout for counterattacks. There are 2 possible ways to pass thisarea and our main effort will be along the northern line. here the terrain is favourable and there is some room for manuever.

The road further south seems to be perfect for beeing attacked from the flanks ven though the enmy would have to be in the swamps where it would be ahrd forhim to fight.

The cavalry and the bulgarinas will go along this road to see if they can advnce without meeting to much resistance. If they make it good if not we can concentrate on the northrn approach and they will just fix the enemy. Hopefully the commander of the bulgarian forces will adhere to his orders and advance carefully in order to conserve his forces.

in the north we have most of the tanks and 2 full infantry companies with the slovaks scouting. They do most of the fighting in these types of attacks anyway since there is seldom the possibility to commit more then one platoon directly to the attack. They should also conserve their manpower but lets se what ivan thinks about that. HQ expects us to move forward rapidly so we have a bit of a problem here.

After some 22 turns (how much time was a turn again) the cavalry scouts have been able to close in to the westernmost objective in the south they just might be able to take it on schedule if there are no defenses there.

In the north the Slovaks have taken some heavy losses rushing into some Russian positions (the engineers lost 4 men ) they can not scout in assault missions until reinforcements have arrived now since the engineer platoon is to weak.

Even though progress is made and the Russian forces are only a speed bump. A thorn in the side was a kv-1 sitting in the swamplands. He destroyed the Russian mortar team hitting the mortars straight on. the surviving crew will be distributed into the rifle squads as well on a 45mm gun that was recently captured.

After destroying the mortars this KV-1 became a top priority for the troops in the area and after a few minutes a troop of Bulgarian engineers destroyed it with a flamethrower. This step should have been taken much earlier.

The artillerymen have taken their first losses for a long time to the russian 120mm mortars. we hope to capture one or two of them to use the ourselves. Very potent weapons. After some counterbatteryfire russian artilleyactivity has ceased completely and what is left of them in this sector is a lonely desorienter t-28 who manages to drver aound in the swamps without getting stuck while my men drop artillery shells on it without any success.

On to moskow!!
