theforger Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Building a scenario based around La Gleize / Cheneux / Stoumont from 20th December and I have a couple of questions around KG Peiper's order of battle at that time. 1. Did he have any SP Arty (Wespes.etc), or was it all Towed? 2. Were elements of the Fallschrimjaegar still with him? 3.What towed AT PaK weapons did he have available, if any? I'm using the master map provided in game which is amazing, but with damage from the previous fighting, so destroying church tower, viaducts. Any info on the weather for the valley at that time would be great, probably going thick fog or light fog/drizzle. Thanks in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Cool project, I'll see if I can find something in my resources. I have played a QB in La Gleize and it is one fine looking map, so definitely looking forward to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Wenman Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) KG Peiper had the 6 SP 150mm guns of 13th SS Pz Heavy Infantry Co, together with the1st SS Pz Arty Bn, (towed), comprising 3 batteries of 6x 105mm pieces Edit Just to add having checked the 150mm were Hummels. It is worth noting that both units suffered losses before arriving in the La Gleize area and so were not at full strength when they deployed there. So no Wespes. PS as the map maker I'm really pleased to see someone doing this. I am a little surprised the map has not seen more use.

Pete Wenman Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Fallschrimjaegars - in Stoumont as at 19th Dec was the 12./FSch.Jg.Rgt.z.b.V. I don't think there were any more in the area. p Edited November 7, 2017 by Pete Wenman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Wenman Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 No towed ATG with Peiper as far as I can see, which is not a surprise given their role. ( I think what towed ATG the division had were with KG Knittel ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have been the 150mm Grille rather than Hummels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Check this thread out: https://www.feldgrau.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=141 It contains a list of what equipment was left in La Gleize, which is some indication of available units (some not included in CM though). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded it up in the editor just to have a look again and the landscape is very real looking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich505 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 +1 to Rocketman's comment. I know I've posted some time back about how stunning this map is. Just can't find the post and screenshots I included. Thanks again, Pete. The map looks great in any season, but at night with shadows and eventually burning AFVs, it is really immersive. I played a quick battle on this map covered with snow at night. You could almost feel the cold as the pixeltruppen looked out over the valley, partially hidden in the treeline.

Combatintman Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The KG Peiper maps are all top drawer. I have done many battlefield tours in that area and the maps are about as close as it gets to the real thing within the constraints of the editor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
