Hey Mark! Are you back yet? Please let me know if you fully decided to assault....

I just posted it over at his usual stomping grounds... the FGM website

OK, as long as you know the offer is always there. You do awesome screenshots and that old Hurtgen Forest AAR from CMAK was just the stuff we'd love to see.

Heinrich505, Gary! I know it is very comfy up there in the corporate box seats at the 50 yard line. That blonde and brunette bringing the drinks and snacks. But, when will you maybe come down here to the sidelines and we will suit you up and send you in for a few plays?

Maybe the Allied AAR for the "2nd battle of Dommelen" should/could roll here from this point? Your guys call... Is Chappy gonna command the defensive effort? ******************************* Gentlemen! Our friends in the Dutch underground have come to warn us of an impending Jerry assault in Dommelen. Please select a battle commander! The battle will be 50 minutes long. Starting at around 1100 and going to around 1150. If your CO Nathangun even authorizes a withdrawal, it can begin only when the clock says 1115. Some logistic units in the rear must be re-positioned first or we'll have a bloody disaster! We will push forward an ATG unit as soon as possible...! The Brigadier has been on the phone with the RAF and the tiffies will go full bollocks to arrive within the hour! It is your call to have that weakened company come up from near the bridge...as reinforcements. Just tell us when it should arrive on map's edge. T=x minutes into the battle... Good luck lads!

Here is a screenshot for quick and dirty analysis.

I am back and tonight will get you a rough map for initial study....

Yes to all 3 questions! 2 vp hexes (which have the supply points....) Always destroy Soviet units to gain points as well. I don't have any more intent than that... Ok? Soviet intentions are basically the same.

Just got on a plane... I may have some images in the original threads if you look through it. But best to await my return.

It was an unreleased map that Miquel first started and I have since expanded upon.

Mark, I sent you an invite to join the dropbox and also sent an e-mail cc to Marco so you guys have comms for your being away.... He has set up his first turn and your file is waiting.

No problem, take your time. I am away on a business trip and not back to CM til the weekend.

I think the Puma had a steering wheel at each end if I recall correctly! Haul arse out of there as soon as the clock strikes 0805!

Do you commit to this assault and I will prepare the battle and notify the allies?

It will be another long battle (50 minutes) with some of your units arriving more along into the timeframe.... Jagdpanthers can enter right off or delay by 5's as per your choice. Or 2 tanks at 5 and the other 2 at 10, etc. any combo! The nearby units can enter as well right off or with a phased delay. You in your half-track "Marta" and the school staff, student kompanie and fliegerhorst. The FJ Kompanie will be a bit late coming from so far up north. Think like T=30-40. Get the Wagner ready! Ride of the Valkyries?

Yes, I can make most of that happen. The navy troops are shagged out and will not be able to get over to 3,6. Yes, I will expand the map and attempt to recreate the damage.

Bad news: Mark's 105mm fire support is still being set-up and thus will arrive as a reinforcement (appear as available to the FO) SOMETIME after T=5.

After the recon battle, axis troops did a bounty count and came up with about 50 KIA VC/NVA. Just kidding!! 50 KIA Soviet soldiers. After the panzer battle, axis troops counted about 50 Soviet KIA, 6 destroyed T-34/76 Here is a complete axis view as of 0800.

Luftwaffe is fogged in until 1000. Standby for more info on what you see.

You destroyed 1 assault gun and approx 5 men.

No. He successfully eluded capture....
