theforger Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Help! I've finished a campaign build, BUT the zip file is 26MB...therefore breaches the 20MB limit on https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/ If anyone can help it'll be appreciated. Already to go on the 16th Dec as well! December 16th 05:35, the “Ghost Front” erupts in a maelstrom of noise and violence as Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein begins. The Rollbahn D Campaign contains 35 linear scenarios built as historically accurate as I’ve been able to achieve. You control the fortunes of KG Peiper, SG Knittel, and Panzer Brigade 150, along with elements from KG Hansen, KG Sandig, and the 3. Fallschirmjäger-Division. Boy did this project snowball! The Campaign begins with a choice. Either starting at the very beginning or on Day 3 of the offensive. The latter will be an easier route as you’ll have not suffered any losses to your core units. I’ve included here what it takes to progress within the Campaign as not every engagement is balanced. The scenarios range from small to medium to Ben Hur like epics. I’ve made minor changes to the Day 1-2 scenarios based on the feedback from the Rollbahn D Part 1 Campaign. Day1-2 SN01: Murky Merlscheid / Fallshirmjager Regiment 9 / Minor Victory SN02: Leaving Lanzerath / Fallshirmjager Regiment 9 / Minor Victory SN03: Minen The Gap / Spitze / Minor Victory SN04: Breakthrough / Spitze Kompanie and FSJ / Minor Victory SN05: Hurrying Through Honsfeld / Spitze and Gndrs / Draw SN06: Bull in gen China Shop / Spitze and Spitze Komp / Minor Victory SN07: Butchers Of Baugnez / Spitze and KG Peiper / Minor Victory Day 3 SN08: Laying Down The Recht / KG Hansen / Minor Victory SN09: Poteau The Priority / KG Hansen / Minor Victory SN10: Storming Stavelot / KG Peiper / Tactical Victory SN11: Trois Is A Crowd / KG Peiper and FSJ / Draw SN12: Jabos! / KG Peiper / Tactical Defeat SN13: Probe At Stavelot / KG Peiper and FSJ / Minor Victory SN14: Neufmoulin Rouge / KG Peiper / Draw Day 4 SN15: Duel In The Mist / KG Peiper and FSJ / Minor Victory SN16: Too Tight At Targnon / KG Peiper / Tactical Defeat SN17: Vorauskompanie Searches For Gas / SG Knittel / Tactical Defeat SN18: Ster Way To Heaven / KG Peiper, Sandig, SG Knittel / Tactical Defeat Day 5 SN19: Stationary At Stavelot / SG Knittel / Major Defeat SN20: Chewin Them Up At Cheneux / KG Peiper / Tactical Victory SN21: Treachery At Les Tcheous / KG Sandig / Draw SN22: Closing The Door / SG Knittel / Draw SN23: Ambush At Chenai / KG Sandig / Draw SN24: Violence At The Preventorium / KG Peiper / Draw Day 6 SN25: KG X Factor / Panzer Brigade 150 / Tactical Defeat SN26: No Prizes At Noupre / KG Hansen, SG Knittel / Minor Victory SN27: Punishment At Parfondry / SG Knittel / Tactical Defeat SN28: TF Jordan Storms Stoumont / KG Peiper / Draw SN29: Cold Hearts At Froidcour / KG Peiper / Tactical Victory SN30: Persistence Prevails / KG Peiper / Draw Day 7 SN31: Borgoumont Blitz / KG Peiper / Major Defeat SN32: Kicking Coblenz / SG Knittel / Total Defeat SN33: Festung La Gleize / KG Peiper / Tactical Victory SN34: Hansens Surprise / KG Hansen / Draw Day 9 SN35: Katz Und Maus / The Survivors / Minor Victory All the maps are my own, apart from Cheneux, which is stock that I’ve modified. Ranks/uniforms can be inaccurate as command units are above the battalion level. Each Scenario will be available as a separate download in January. Good Luck! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Oh man, "icecream" for new campaigns - esp German attacking. Thank you Forger and Koh!! I notice that there already exists a "RollbahnD 0-48 Stunden" campaign for CMFB. Is this an early version or completely different created by someone else?

theforger Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hi Erwin, if you've not played Rollbahn D 0-48 just download the full campaign and start on day1. If you did give Rollbahn D 0-48 a run out, in the full campaign I released today I've given you the option to start on day 3, rather than having to replay days1 & 2 again. The first 7 scenarios that Rollbahn D 0-48 are the same first 7 scenarios in the full campaign. The choice is yours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Ok, thanks. So, one can delete the old "RollbahnD 0-48 Stunden" dated 4/22/21 and simply d/l and play the latest version "RollbahnD" (12/14/21) as above? (I had not started playing the 4/22/21 version.)

theforger Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 7 hours ago, Pelican Pal said: Wow this is a beast! How long did it take to put this together? Nearly two years. It's my first crack at a campaign having issued Mission to Maas V2 scenario in Feb 2020, which ended up like a mini campaign in a single scenario. At one point I decided to break Rollbahn D down into a trilogy, hence there is a part one earlier this year. I issued it just as Cold War and Fire and Rubble was released...great timing! In the summer I changed my mind and rolled up parts 1, 2 and 3 together and pressed on, aiming for Dec 16th as a release date, which almost didn't happen. No idea how many hours went in to it...I do still have a day job... if you do check out famous Ardennes pics from 44 you may be able to recognise buildings, down to even lamp posts and trees in some cases. The Church at Merlscheid, Buchholz Wirbelwind, SPWs and US prisoners being escorted back into Honsfeld from the NW, Church in Bullingen, destroyed Panther at Cheneux, Trois Ponts bridge, destroyed Panthers at Stoumont Station to name a few. Fortunately much of the area is unchanged, the exceptions were Malmedy and Recht which were more difficult. For the most part Google Earth and pre war postcards came in handy, along with Duel In The Mist 1-3, Then and Now, Timo Worsts book on Knittel. I even took a punt on spending a few hundred euros on a copy of Roppelts 700 page memoir auf der Spur. So I guess Google Translate deserves a mention too. I hope to make my first trip out there in 2022. Previous to this campaign, in 2017 I published a couple of CMBS scenarios, Summer In The City and Korsun 2017. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I remember back in May reaching for my Then and Now a few times when playing Part 1. And I expect to be doing so many times during Part 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Is this the biggest ever campaign for a CM game? Going by sheer number of individual scenarios. The official Peiper campaign also had many scenarios, but many of them were variants of each other in order to give the player choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my favorite CMFB scenario ever. Just to clarify... we can now delete the old "RollbahnD 0-48 Stunden" as that content is included in your new campaign?

Erwin Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I was playing Mission 1 today and realized that I had played part of the initial campaign b4. But, the scenarios are so well done, that this is one the rare occasions that am looking forward to replaying some of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great first scenario so far. Beautiful map. I have one question, though: I cant seem to find any info on resupply in any of the briefings? Have I missed it, is it an error - or on purpose? I would be nice to know if I have to conserve my ammo. Edited December 18, 2021 by umlaut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
