Los Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Howdy these were mentioned in the bottom of the vehicle thread but I thought I would put them in a separate thread. In commemoration of 71 years ago here are two Bulge scenarios: Both these missions were designed for NOTE: This mission was designed for the BULGE 44 MOD by Kohlenklau, available at Battlefront Repository and CMMOds. Note: Both these scenarios have light snow. (I mention this since I know there is at least one guy on this forum that blows a gasket at the sight of snow in his CM scenarios.) Lanzerath Ridge, Belgium. 16 December, 1944 by Los This battle is a version of the delaying action on Lanzerath Ridge with the I&R platoon of the 394th Infantry regiment (under the command of Lt. Lyle Bouck) vs I.9 FJR. It's pretty much an infantry engagement. Can be played HTH or Single player. Size is SMALL. http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/5097/details Looking over towards Lanzerath Ridge: The second battle is "The Stand at Noertrange". ( a small village between Wiltz and Bastogne) This is a medium sized battle. Can be played HTH or Single player (best as Germans). This is a combined arms operation. http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/5094/details A scene from the action, note Kohlenklau's winter camo. And here's the map: Enjoy and thanks to the mod makers for their inspiring work. Hopefully they will be available in the repository as well.

kohlenklau Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Los, Thanks again for the 2 scenarios. I will PM you and work out how to mail/e-mail you a prize for the Bulge 44 scenario contest. You were the only entry and thus the unanimous grand prize winner. Maybe a starbucks gift certificate? Oh, that winter camo German tank is NOT my work. I thought it was your work! Where did you get it? I ended up just importing the newer 3 color camo PzIVG images from CMBN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crender Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks for making these. Got them yesterday but have not played them yet. They look like nice maps so hopefully will play out well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 I thought the tanks were yours, either way I dl'd them from either the repository or CMMods. It turns out Naplam made them, he has a few winter vehicles up there at CMMods.. No need for a gift certificate. Its a wonderful thought however. Just crank out more stuff... Thanks Los 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Kk, you interested in moving the Bulge Mod to CMBN/MG? I have 90% of the terrain and Flavor objects modded, and would need to update uniforms, but since the Bulge Game won't likely be released for some time, it might be worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 I will be happy to work on maps and scenarios....and any other assistance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sounds good Mark. Advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Sadly like my divorce which should be finalized by mid-February. I will PM you with some thoughts of how we can divide the workload and organize the effort. CMBN Bulge 44!!! Coming soon to a mod outlet near you.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword56 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 To help get in the spirit for this mod and scenarios, here's a link to an outstanding old documentary on the battle for St. Vith that someone posted on BGG today on a Bulge anniversary thread: The video clips will be familiar to many, so I recommend opening this map to follow the action as you listen: http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-E-Ardennes/maps/USA-E-Ardennes-III.jpg To me, the real highlights are the detailed attention to this one battle, and seeing participants (still vigorous and with fresh memories in the 1950s) meeting on the actual battlefield to tell the story. There's Manteuffel himself, standing next to the US general who commanded the division opposite him, with both of them recalling details that really make the history come alive again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 So I have it in mind after the last two Bulge Scenarios to work on a Rocherath-Krinkelt master map. Should I start doing this in CMBN then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I think you should, Los. After the Holidays, kohlenklau and I will put our heads together and see what needs to be done to put it all together. I have to update a lot of pre-v2.0/patch2.12 modded stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastamon Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Looking forward to seeing the full cmbn Bulge mod. Here's a few screenshots from my upcoming scenario about the PanzerBrigade 150 morning assault to capture the Warche bridge near Malmedy. As this is my first scenario it will probably need some testing from volunteers. Also, first time posting pics...here goes (fingers crossed): The Germans will have the historical mix of modified Panthers and US vehicles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I was thinking we can import greatcoats for both sides as well as US Army airborne but it will be all or nothing. Maybe we can get some new vehicle modders to crank out some winter camo!!! Good job Napalm. I better dl it soon. It is a lot of fun but it does take time to learn and accomplish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
