Wild Bill Wilder Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Since CMAK is well on the way, some of the designers on the Scenario Design Team are going to continue to design scenarios to have them ready for the various web pages that are out there. Considering that the game will cover all of the action in the Mediterranean, do you have some battles or operations that you would like to see done in this theater of operations? Let me and the rest of the designers what you would like to see recreated through this fine game. We are listening. I know I am.

Armdchair Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 The battle of San Pietro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Graeme Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 How about Gran Sasso, where Skorzeny and his bunch rescue Mussolini from the mountain top ski resort? It would be a small battle, but a fun one. I second San Pietro, and throw in Ortona with the Canadians. Also: - Melfa River Bridgehead (Canadians) - Liri Valley (Canadians) - Gustav Line (Canadians) - Hitler Line (Canadians) I'm, Canadian, can you tell? P.S. I've done scenarios for all of the above. Looking forward to doing them in CMAK. P.P.S. How about the North African Campaign early in the war? When Graziani penetrated 64 miles into Egypt past abandoned frontier posts, then fatally stopped to build a line of forts while bringing up more supplies. O'Conner promptly counterattacked with great success, taking 130,000 prisoners in two weeks. This is before the Western Desert Force had Matildas. Just Mk this & that plus cruiser tanks. Strictly British (& Indian) vs Italian, all equipped with light early stuff. Would make a pleasing variation on the numerous Afrika Corps vs Brits most people expect. Cheers!

Franko Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 An operation on the 45th Infantry Division at Anzio. Wait, I'll design it...send me a beta copy. Thanks. Frank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbertles Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Sidi Bou Zid - Tunisia 2/43 Or something similar representing the difficulties of the mesa/plains terrain of central Tunisia. Sidi Bou Zid is a good example of a German counterattack in Tunisia. It has a lot of what should make a scenario exciting: sudden attack, slowly stiffening defense, isolated units slowing the tide, long desert-type flanking hook, some of the first Tiger I deployment in the West, Stuka attacks, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Franko, I hope you or someone else will cover the German counterattack at Anzio, February 16, 1944 up Via Anziate towards the Allied positions of the British 56th Division and the US 45th Division. I've been re-reading "The Rock of Anzio: From Sicily to Dachau: a History of the US 45th Infantry Division" by Flint Whitlock just so I post requests to cover the 45th Division's battles in Italy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenophile Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Methinks The Graeme refers to the Battle of Beda Fomm - the culmination of something Wavell ordered as 5-day raid and O'Connor turned into the rout of the Italians in North Africa. Before he could finish the Italians in North Africa, O'Connor had his troops taken away to be wasted in the futility of the Greek debacle, then Hitler sent Rommel to rescue Mussolini's Empire and tie down the British. O'Connor had the bad luck to be captured on his return to the theatre as an advisor and the British lost their best and most experienced desert commander. O'Connor against Rommel would have been an interesting contest! Beda Fomm would certainly make an interesting battle or operation. Early equipment and a small mechanised, professional force in a defensive position trying to block the retreat of a much larger army. Sidi Rezegh is one battle I'd expect to see with the game, maybe as an operation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simovitch Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I'm kind of going off of fond memories of reading "the crucible of war": the raids by Straefer Gott in the early western desert years would seem to make for some great byte battles. the battle of Maleme airfield would be a good one too. imho simovitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 Thank you Gentlemen! Excellent suggestions, all of them. The 45th would be a good unit to follow. Desert Rats would be another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Originally posted by Franko: Now, I need a copy of the friggin' game. Frank Poor Franko! I tried the "advance copy of CM to established members of the community" bit with CMBB and it got me equally as far. It also didn't get me on the design team for CMAK. :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Guys, You will be pleased by what will appear on the CD, including a quite historical map and forces of the British fighting at Anzio. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed B. Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Some more ideas... A good Anzio beach scenario or battle would be nice. A decent 'Gustav Line' or even map, would be nice, or a Po valley or Mtn. Cassino battle would be good ones or the taking of 'Anzio Annie', would also be additional items for thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soddball Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Are you talking about purely historical stuff? If you are, I have no idea. I look forward to being educated. If not, some fun stuff might be a hypothetical parachute attack against the defences of Malta or Gibraltar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailend bryan Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 what about some battle around tobruk mainly during early dec '41 or the battle of Gazala during middle dec'41 when the DAK was holding it's own against superior advancing 8th army forces 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tackleberry Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Id second Tobruk. Some Aussie raids on sleeping Italian rear areas would be nice too. That book "Rommel in Africa" had some awsome stories about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugfromthearth Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 any chance of Crete or is that too early? A hypothetical invasion of Malta would be cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
