TheDesertFox Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 Whoops, The player get´s it all That must be coincidence. I´m making my fist attempts at scenariodesign and just on the same day Frank and I am publishing a scenario dealing with the same subject. I just sent it out to Gregory (Mensch) Mudry and it will soon be published at "Der Kessel" http://www.geocities.com/greg_mudry/sturm.html Until Grego has updated the site, you can grab it here: http://www.geocities.com/desertfox1891/CombatMission/scens/Cintheaux-Totalize.zip OK, this is a real big bad scenario, might be too big for some machines. Best played as germans against the AI. Here´s the briefing: Enjoy! ------------------------ -Operation Totalize- Counterpunch at Saint Aignan de Cramesnil 8th August 1944, South of CAEN Type: German Counterpunch (Historical) Date: August 8th, 1944 Location: Saint Aignan de Cramesnil, south of CAEN, Normandy Turns: 60 Weather: Clear Number of Battles: n.a. Map Size: HUGE ! [2000 x 2500 metres] SLOWS DOWN LO-END SYSTEMS CONSIDERABLY !!! Forces: Canadian/British/Polish/German Version number: 1.03 Author: Helge "The DesertFox" Bertram Feedback: thedesertfox@gmx.net Description: By noon of August 8th, the Allies had generally reached the objectives assigned for Phase 1 of Operation Totalize, which began at 23:30 on August 7th. The objectives of Totalize were of pivotal importance to the campaign in the West and if executed properly, the Operation could seal the fate of the German forces now trapped in the Falaise pocket. The only 'sag' that had developed in the allied advance during Phase I, formed on the western wing of the front, near Caillouet. However, the German resistance in this area was soon to be smashed by a renewed assault by combined allied forces. Thanks to aerial bombardment by more than 1,000 bombers, the concentrated action by more than 600 tanks and more than 700 artillery guns, the superior Canadian/British forces compouned their previous successes and secured their Phase 1 objectives. They had managed to break through the positions of the 89. Infanteriedivision at a width of approximately 6 km. The Infanteriedivision, recently moved into the position, was without its Panzers and heavy mobile antitank weapons. The brittle and under strength German force crumbled under the weight of the massive combined assault. As scheduled for Phase 2, the allied advance would resume from their now established positions near Gaumesnil, Cramesnil and Saint Aignan, into the depth of the terrain along the Caen-Falaise road. They were close to success in an Operation that could destroy the brunt of the German forces in France. Only refitting elements of the 12.SS-Panzerdivision could be deployed to assist the German defenses. These lone elements would be responsible for throwing back the combined Canadian/British Operation and maintaining some stability on the ever weakening German frontline.

Guest Germanboy Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 I started this one as a PBEM and it looks great. Seen stuff I had never seen before (like Leprechauns dancing around MMG carriers). We had to abandon it though because even before the real action started the PBEM files would be 3.5MB. Turn crunching took about 3-5min on my G3/400 256MB at that point. So take the warning about low-end systems seriously. But it is well worth playing. Especially if you know anything about operation Totalize. I will give this one a go against the AI as soon as I have a weekend and a sufficient supply of beer in the house. Hmmm, beer... Great job Helge. ------------------ Andreas <a href="http://www.geocities.com/greg_mudry/sturm.html">Der Kessel</a > Home of „Die Sturmgruppe“; Scenario Design Group for Combat Mission.
