Franko Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Stoumont December 19 - 20, 1944 (11 Battles) Ardennes Offensive, Northern Shoulder Location: Stoumont-Targnon, Ambleve River Valley, Belgium Weather: Bad Ground Condition: Wet Night falls on the Sixth Battle. Scenario Author: Frank M. Radoslovich (Frankrad@pacbell.net) After a sizeable German armored force broke through American lines on the 18th of December, it sought an exit from the Ambleve River Valley. After siezing the bridges at Stavelot and Cheneux, these heavily armored troops had been re-buffed at Trois-Ponts and Habiemont. After these setbacks, the force attempted another breakthrough at Stoumont on the 19th. In the balance was the fate of one of the most historically intriguing forces in the Western Theatre in World War 2, the infamous Kampfgruppe Peiper. Scenario Note: During this historical period represented by this operation, there was no snow to speak of in the area depicted in the map. A thaw had began on 18 December, melting the snow and turning the frozen ground soggy. So, unlike many other Ardennes scenarios, there is no "snow". REALISM NOTE: If you want to mimic the real battle as much as possible, do not actually begin the game until you have a "fog" setting for Battle 1. In other words, exit out and reload until you get a "fog" setting for the first battle, ideally "Heavy Fog." The real battle began that way, and you should too! Sources: Arnold, James R.

kipanderson Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Hi, sounds great, I am up for a copy. I have walked the Stoumont battle field a couple of times. Its a preservation area, as is most of the Ardennes, so looks much as it did 50 years back. I did a detailed map of Stoumont as soon as I got CM but lost it when my harddisk went down. If you visit the Ardennes at the same time of year as the battle occurred the atmosphere is great, you can almost hear the panzers crunching over the ground. kipanderson@clara.co.uk Thanks for your efforts, Kip.

mscano Posted September 2, 2000 Share Posted September 2, 2000 I started the Stoutmont op today and I have to say you did a first class job on the map Franko. I just finished the first battle in which I got my ass respectfully kicked and I'm regrouping for the next go around. I'm playing as the Americans.
